Adding the Towel to the lower end of the Towel Holder

Step 1: Fold the towel into two.

Step 2

Use the smallest crochet hook available and the most convenient to crochet with.
Using the G crochet hook
Aim for the same number of stitches from the last round when crocheting on the towel.
If punching the towel with the smallest available crochet hook is difficult, use a sewing needle or darning needle, sew evenly on the towel, and continue from step 3 below.

Row 1: Ch 1, punch the towel with the hook, sc evenly across one side of the towel

sc in each stitch.

Step 3: Attach the towel to the towel holder.

Switch to a bigger hook (8 mm)

– Crocheting into the stitches around the towel holder and the row of scs on the towel.

Count the number of stitches on the towel and the round made on the towel.

Row 1: Ch 1, sc evenly across both panels, join.

Step 4: To hide the joining for a beautiful look.

Round 1: Ch 1, hdc in each st around.

Round 2: Ch 3, (dc, ch 2, 2 dc), in same ch sp, *skip next 2 sts, sc in next st, skip next 2 sts, (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in next st, rep from * until the end, join with a sl st to the beginning chain.

Fasten off.

Sew in all loose ends.

Step 5

Neckline: Join yarn with a sl st to the foundation chain, crochet around the whole neckline, dc around, and join.

Hanging options

I prefer to use the armhole openings – Pass the spoon handle through the armholes. Using the spoon, you can hang the set (cooking spoon, towel holder).
Hang the towel holder on your oven handle.
