Jacey, it depends on the towel you are using. Sometimes it’s easier to just stab your crochet hook into the towel, but for some sturdy towels you’d have to pre punch holes in. Give both methods a try and see which one works best for you.

Hi! I was just curious. For the method where you crochet the topper on, do you use the steel hook and just shove it through the towel and start crocheting or do you have to make holes first?

Hello Rachel,

I just wanted to say thanks so much for this pattern, it was very simple and easy to follow your directions, I was searching all over and your site was very helpful. The instructions were full and complete not missing any important details as some I find do, I had promised to make these before I knew if I could, so now the pressure is off and I am well on my way to finishing them all, Thanks so much again,
Jenn

Hi Rachel!
I made the towel toppers! I took my towels to the local dry cleaner to have them cut into & serge the edges, simply because I was too lazy to pull out the sewing machine & do it myself. After that I read on another site w/ a towel topper pattern to cut the towel apart, then finish the edges w/ fray check! Good Suggestion! I’ll so that next time!
Thanks for sharing all your patterns!

Cat, I space out the stitches so that they are evenly across the top of the towel. The towel will will most likely gather.

Easy Towel Topper:
On the 1st row, do you space out the stitches so that the towel lays flat, or do you make them where the towel will gather?

Y. Marie, I like the way you experimented with the loose cowl. I had (Lord only knows how old) Patons Diana in a fuzzy lavender/blue. It worked up beautifully, only I was so tired that when I joined the ends, they were twisted. It drapes in a strange way, but I like it. Now, if it ever cools off here in TX, I may get a chance to wear it! Sandy

Hi Marie, I think any medium weight yarn is good. The one in the picture uses cotton. If your cowl is too small you can adjust it by using the directions in the pattern.

Yep, this would be perfect for a gift. Make up a few and have them handy.

You must crochet 24/7. You post new stuff about every other day. For a new crocheter, like me, your site is a daily must read. Thanks!!

Hello Crochetspot,
I’ve been trying to make your Loose Cowl and was wondering what kind of yarn is best to make the cowl? I used homespun and it came out too thick and bulky I know you suggest using medium weight yarn. I did make one with sort of christmasy yarn in off white with gold thread in it.But had to use size P hook.
Please let me know what you suggest using in yarn and hook because size N hook for me it comes out too small.
Thank you,
Y.Marie
