Crochet Lacey Kitchen Towel Topper

Material Needed:

Kitchen towel
Yarn (example used is Red Heart Super Saver)
5 mm crochet hook
1 and ¼ inch button
Needle and thread (or crochet thread)
Scissors
Stitch marker (optional)
Scratch paper and pen (to keep track of rows)

Steps to Make the Towel Topper

Towel Topper Base:

Start with a slip knot on your hook and chain 8.
Single crochet in the second chain from the hook and in each chain across (7 single crochets total).
Chain 1 and turn, single crochet across for row 2.

Creating the Buttonhole:

For row 3:

chain 1 and turn, single crochet into the first two stitches, chain 3 (skip next 3 stitches for buttonhole), single crochet in the last two stitches.

Row 4:

Chain 1 and turn, single in the first two stitches, 3 single crochets around the chain 3 space, single in the last two stitches, bringing you back to 7 single crochets.

Expansion Section:

Rows 5 to 30:

Chain 1 and turn, single crochet across. Repeat this for a smooth rectangle segment.

Begin Increasing for the Topper's Upper Part:

Row 31:

Chain 1 and turn, work two half double crochets in the first stitch (beginning of increase), half double crochet in each stitch across until the last stitch, work two half double crochets in the last stitch.

Repeat the increasing pattern:

for rows 32, 33, and 34, ensuring increases occur in the first and last stitches of each row.

Creating the Loop:

After completing your increases, chain 17 (or a length suitable for your towel loop), join with a slip stitch to form a loop.

Border and Finishing:

Work half double crochets around the edge of the loop and the main part of the topper for a neat finish, incorporating increases as needed to keep the work flat.
Use the chain 3 and skip method to create an openwork border along the edge.
Finish by attaching the button opposite the loop, ensuring it fits through the buttonhole created earlier.

Finishing Touches:

Weave in all ends securely.
Sew the button at the base of the topper, positioning it to align with the buttonhole for easy hanging.
Attach the topper to your towel by folding the towel's top edge into the loop and securing it with the button.
