Introduction

Welcome to this special edition of Creative Grandma! In this craft tutorial, we will be making a crochet towel topper using a metal ring. This project is quick and easy, and perfect for those who don't have a sewing machine or prefer not to sew. So, let's get started and create a beautiful towel topper for your kitchen.

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials that we'll need for this project:

1. Premier cotton yarn (in a color that matches your kitchen towel)
2. A kitchen towel
3. Matching sewing thread
4. A selling needle
5. Crochet hook size I-9 (5.5 millimeter)
6. A 3-inch metal ring (diameter)
7. Scissors

Now that we have everything we need, let's move on to the first step of the project.

Step 1: Choosing the Yarn and Towel

To start this project, we need to select the right yarn and towel. For the yarn, I recommend using premier cotton yarn, as it provides a sturdy and durable result. Choose a color that matches your kitchen towel for a cohesive look. Speaking of the towel, make sure to select a high-quality towel that can withstand the weight of the crochet topper.

Step 2: Starting the Project

To begin the project, take the yarn and crochet hook and insert the hook from the front to the back through the metal ring. Pull the yarn through and chain one. Now, we will work a single crochet stitch by inserting the hook from front to back through the ring, yarn over the hook, and pull it through the front of the ring. Yarn over again and pull it through two loops. Repeat this process to work 50 single crochet stitches around the ring.

Step 3: Working on the Strap

Once you have completed the 50 single crochet stitches, join the first and last stitch by slipping the hook under the two loops of the first stitch and slip stitching them together. Now, we will start working on the strap. Chain one and work a single crochet in the same beginning joining single crochet. Chain two and work another single crochet in the same stitch. This will form your first single crochet V stitch. Skip the next single crochet and work another V stitch. Continue this pattern for a total of 5 V stitches across the strap.

Step 4: Continuing the Rows

Turn your work and insert your hook into the first chain two space. Work a single crochet V stitch in each chain two space across the strap. Repeat this for a total of 13 rows, turning your work after each row. Remember not to chain at the beginning of each row, as it is not necessary for this pattern.

Step 5: Finishing the Strap

After completing the 13 rows, it's time to decrease the stitches for the strap. Turn your work and insert the hook into the first chain two space. Work one single crochet, chain two, and jump to the next chain two space. Work a single crochet only in that stitch. Continue this pattern, jumping to the middle B stitch and working a single crochet V stitch, and then single crocheting only in the next chain two space. Finally, chain two and work one single crochet in the last chain two space of the row.

Step 6: Decreasing the Rows

Turn your work and insert the hook into the first chain two space. Work a single crochet, chain two, and a single crochet V stitch. Jump to the center chain two space and work a single crochet. Chain five, which will serve as the loop for securing your button, and single crochet back in the same center chain two space. Jump to the last chain two space and single crochet in it. Chain two, and for the last single crochet, insert your hook in that chain two space, pull your yarn through, then insert your hook in the top of that last single crochet. Yarn over the hook and pull it through all three loops on the hook. This completes the last and final row of the project.

Step 7: Adding the Button

Now, it's time to add the button to secure the towel in place. Sew the button to the center bottom right above the top of the ring on the wrong side of the project.

Step 8: Attaching the Towel

To attach the towel, simply insert it through the metal ring and secure it over the button. You can now hang your towel on your stove or cupboard door handle, and admire your beautiful crochet towel topper.
