Sharing a Trick about making the ” holes” in fabric:
I crochet edgings on flannel receiving blankets with crochet thread. When I first started doing this, it was very difficult to “poke” the steel crochet hook into the fabric….even using a thimble, and the tiniest steel hook it wore out my fingers and thumbs.And I purchased numerous hooks as well. ha

One way that is easier is by using my sewing machine.
Do not thread your machine or the bobbin, just run the empty needle along the edge of the fabric where you plan to crochet. The needle will “poke” or pierce a hole in the fabric for you. The machine stitch can be set to have the holes as far apart as you want.
Then, you can continue with the steel hook, and your pattern.
Hope this helps you.

Jackie, maybe you can make a chain of 10 (or however many needed to go around your knob) and then make a slip stitch into the first chain you made to make a loop. You can put this loop on the top of the towel topper.

I have cabinets with knobs. I need to make the towel topper with a hole to slip over the knob. Can you help me?

Thanks for sharing your pattern Rachel. I’ve made lots of towel toppers before but I really like the way yours gathers and lays so nicely. I cant wait to try the pattern out. I did want to share a trick for punching holes in your towels to crochet in them. I use a knitting needle to punch the holes in as I crochet. Works great! thanks again!

I have been looking for this pattern. Thank you. I am not yet a crocheter. but hope to learn how to do this. My mother tried to teach me as a young girl, but all I learned to do was the chain.

I am excited to add some of these to my bathroom towels. Boys use them and then they always end up on the floor!
Have you ever used a needle to “sew” on the first “row” onto the top of the towel? I have seen a few patterns that use this, but there hasn’t been a good tutorial out there that I’ve found.
