Easy crochet towel holder free pattern

I love entering my kitchen and seeing my crochet projects. One way I do this is to place different items I crocheted in my kitchens. These projects are used daily, including this easy crochet towel holder.

This crochet triangular towel holder is an easy project for hanging towels. This topper is also super quick and can be made with less than 30 yards of yarn!
