How to crochet an easy corner to corner hand towel worked in double crochet boxes in 3 sizes. This hand towel also works great as a large doily/small runner for displays, and as a placemat.

Video tutorial included.

As a washcloth, C2C can sometimes become saggy because slits from the beginning chain that all the stitches are worked onto. I use my washcloths either for decorative purposes, or just to dry things up - not to wash anything with because of this, and I use the hand towel the same way. It’s held up well, and despite being hung, it hasn’t stretched out much (under 2”). I’m loving it!

Colin Drew is an easy crochet line that features double crochet corner to corner boxes. This is a beginner friendly series, and this hand towel is a great project to pair with watching your favorite TV show or movie. You don’t even have to count boxes if you don’t want to! You can use a soft tape measure to measure as you go, and stop at the width and length desired, though I will be providing box counts for each size in the written pattern.
