Grandpa's Sweater Towel
The best thing about this towel is that it virtually folds itself! The finished product measures about 14” at the widest point and about 20” long when the button on the hanging loop is fastened. The hanging loop is sized to fit an average oven handle.
The main pattern is for the hanging towel with 3/4” button. Variations are included for making a flat towel (without the hanger) and for different sized buttons (The button in the picture is actually 1 1/4”). Any special stitches required to complete the pattern are also in the instructions.
All instructions use American terminology and standard abbreviations.
Supplies needed:
about 5-6 oz (250-275 yds) worsted weight cotton yarn
size I-9 (5.5 mm) crochet hook
yarn needle and/or traditional sewing needle for weaving in ends and attaching button
stitch markers or scraps of yarn for counting rows
one button in your choice of color and size.
About my work:
Any pattern I design and post is my property. Please do not duplicate my patterns for any reason especially to sell. Instead, please link to my blog (http://biggirljewelry.blogspot.com/ ) or to the page where you found the pattern when referencing one of my patterns.
You are more than welcome to offer finished products made from my patterns for sale. I see no reason why you should not profit from your hard work. However, I’d really appreciate it if you gave me credit for the design; please reference my blog or the pattern page.
If you do make any of my patterns I’d love to see your finished items; please take a moment to email pictures to me.
