Crochet Towel Holder Free Pattern: Before You Get Started

Pattern Notes

Skill level: Beginner crochet skills and knowledge

Terminology: US crochet terminology

Gauge (2″ x 2″): 5 clusters (cluster = SC and DC into the same ST, skip next ST) x 9 rows

Sizing

You can easily customise the size of the crochet kitchen towel holder by chaining more or less stitches in the foundation chain or by crocheting more or less rows

The number of chains effects the width of the towel holder. And the number of rows determines the length of it.

Yarn Requirements

What type of yarn works the best for making a crochet dish towel holder:

I recommend 100% cotton yarn as it’s easier to wash and keeps the shape well. Acrylic yarn tends to stretch a lot and tends to lump after multiple washes.

I recommend using Light Worsted #3 = DK or Medium #4 = Worsted weight yarn for extra thickness.

Crochet Towel Holder Free Pattern: Step by Step Instructions

Construction

First, you will crochet the main body of the towel holder flat in rows until you have achieved the desired size.

You will be using the Suzette stitch, which is a one row repeat pattern. It creates a lovely modern texture and is reversible. This is an ideal stitch to learn for beginners as it only uses basic crochet stitches.

The wooden rings are crocheted on using single crochet so there is no need for extra sewing. But you can of course sew them on instead if you find it easier.

Written Pattern

– SC into next ST, DC into the same ST, skip one ST

– crochet across the row taking turns between SC & DC into the same ST and skipping the following ST

– SC in the last ST of the row

– CH1 and TO {11 excl CH1 at the end}

– insert your hook into 2nd CH from the hook, i.e. the first stitch of the row

– hold the ring behind your work with the top edge of the ring visible (Pic 1)

– insert your hook into the centre of the ring, yarn over from behind of the ring (Pic 2), pull the yarn through the centre of the ring and then through the stitch – you’ll have two loops left on the hook (Pic 3)

– yarn over in front of the ring (Pic 4) and pull the yarn through the two loops on the hook to complete the SC stitch (Pic 5)

– repeat across the row and FO (Pic 6), push the yarn loops on the ring close to each other and weave the yarn tail in

– repeat the above steps to attach the second ring to the other end of the holder using the starting tail

And you’re done! 🙂 I hope you enjoyed this free crochet towel holder pattern! It’s a quick and easy crochet project that’s perfect for practising basic crochet stitches while creating something practical. It also makes a thoughtful handmade gift that’s sure to brighten someone’s day.
