Introduction: Making a Towel Holder with Crochet

Welcome to our tutorial on making a towel holder with crochet. This is a great project for beginners and experienced crocheters alike. Whether you're looking to add some handmade charm to your bathroom or you're searching for a unique gift idea, this towel holder is the perfect solution. By following our step-by-step instructions, you'll be able to create a beautiful and functional towel holder that you'll be proud to display in your home.

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials we'll need. For this project, you'll need the following:

1. Size 4 millimeter crochet hook
2. 1/2 inch scarf ring
3. Reem cotton yarn
4. Button

Make sure you have all these items on hand before we proceed. Once you have everything, we can move on to the next step.

Crocheting the Single Crochets

To start, we'll crochet 58 single crochets around our scarf ring. This will create the base for our towel holder. Begin by making a slipknot on your crochet hook. Then, stick your hook through the ring, yarn over, and pull up a loop. Yarn over again and pull through two loops. Repeat this process until you have a total of 58 single crochets on your ring.

Creating the Fans

Now that we have our base, it's time to create the fans that will hold the towel in place. Begin by skipping the first two stitches and then make five double crochets in the third stitch. Yarn over, go through the stitch, yarn over again, and pull up a loop. Then, yarn over and pull through two loops. Repeat this process four more times until you have a total of five double crochets in the stitch.

Continuing the Fans

After creating a fan, skip two stitches and slip stitch into the next stitch. Repeat this process of creating fans and slip stitching until you have a total of eight fans around your towel holder. Make sure to skip two stitches between each fan. This will create a visually pleasing pattern and ensure that the towel stays securely in place.

Completing 20 Rows of Single Crochets

Once you've finished creating the fans, it's time to complete 20 rows of single crochets. Simply single crochet across each row, chaining one at the beginning of each row, until you have completed 20 rows. This will add stability and structure to your towel holder, ensuring that it will hold up over time.

Adding the Buttonhole

To finish off our towel holder, we need to add a buttonhole so that it can be securely fastened. Chain three or four, depending on the size of your button, and then single crochet across to create the buttonhole. Make sure to slip stitch into the first stitch after the buttonhole to secure it in place.

Finishing Touches: Sewing on the Button

The final step is to sew on the button. Position the button on the opposite side of the towel holder from the buttonhole and securely sew it in place using a needle and thread. This will allow you to easily fasten and unfasten the towel holder as needed.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully made a towel holder using crochet. This beautiful and functional piece will add a personal touch to your bathroom and make your towel storage more convenient. Use your creativity to choose different yarn colors and button styles to match your decor. Enjoy your new towel holder and happy crocheting!
