I have been wanting to make some pieces for my kitchen that match the pops of color in a coffee themed hand towel I have (you’ll see it in that photo). But as I worked up this hand towel with that beautiful blue color, I am thinking I may want to switch things up, and work on a blueberry/lemon themed kitchen now.

This hand towel is worked in one of my favorite stitch patterns - the Suzette Stitch! It is an easy combination of single and double crochet’s that produces a gorgeous textured fabric.

Keep in mind that 100% cotton yarn will stretch while hung, and used. In a 6 month time period, my C2C hand towel stretched just under 2” in length. I didn’t measure it again after that (especially since it really didn’t matter to me), but if you want something that will keep it’s shape a little better, try using a blend of mostly cotton paired with acrylic (as long as not using with heated items) or wool.

I also only use my crocheted hand towels for drying my hands.

Materials:

• 445 Yards of Worsted Weight Yarn - I used Lily Sugar n Cream in Dazzle Blue (80 Yards) and Ecru (365 Yards)
• H8/5mm Crochet Hook
• Tapestry Needle
• Optional, Jewelry Pliers

Material Notes:
Yarn Alternatives: Bernat’s Handicrafter, Red Heart’s Smoothie, Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran, Rico Creative Cotton Aran

Weaving in ends of a tough yarn, like cotton yarn, can be hard on the fingers. Sore thumbs and frustration can be a thing of the past by simply using jewelry pliers to carefully help pull the tapestry needle through the work.

Time Spent:
Just over 5 hours, 15 minutes.

Measurements:
15.5” Wide by 26.5” Tall

Gauge (Not Essential):
16 HDC by 10 Rows = 4”
