I love items that have double functions and add a touch of decor. When it's time to sit at the dinner table I simply drop my cell phone into the hand towel pockets and let it go. I know where it's at and I can hear it if I get a phone call, but the temptation to check social media is set aside. It also sets a good example for my little ones because when they are older I will be asking them to drop their cell phones into the hand towel as well.

Easter Bunny Towel and Washcloth Set
Ever since designing my very first character Christmas towel in 2019, (the Snowman Kitchen Towel), I've wanted to design other character towels to celebrate all of the holidays. The Easter Bunny Crochet Hand Towel and Washcloth Set was designed to add a little fun, crochet decor to your home for the Easter Season. YARN Cotton is the go-to fiber for crochet dish cloths, dish towels, and hand towels as it's the most absorbent. There are several cotton yarns out there that would be perfect for this project, but I chose to use Lily Sugar n' Cream 100% worsted weight cotton yarn. Lily Sugar n' Cream is available in 39 colors so I was able to find all of the colors I needed for this project within the same yarn line.
Rustic Dinner Scarf Table Runner
The Rustic Dinner Scarf is a stunning table runner that uses post stitches to create graceful cabling, and it is finished of with a simple lace edging. This is a project that would look great in any modern farmhouse dinning room or kitchen. The pattern can be expanded to fit the size you need for your table. Use a sport weight cotton yarn in your favorite color or keep it neutral for extra durability and softness.
Granny Chevron Table Runner: Quick and Easy Stitch Pattern
If you love the classic look of chevrons, and the granny stitch in crochet, you'll love this piece! The Granny Chevron Table Runner is made with simple repeats of chain and double crochet stitches, using the classic look of a granny stitch to create a chevron design! This table runner has three distinct chevron points, created by skipping over stitches (decreasing) and adding multiple stitches (increasing). The classic granny stitch is used here to add even more depth and texture to this table runner - making this a true statement piece for the center of your dining table. Once you get started with this piece, and memorize the one repeating row of stitches, it is very quick and easy to work up with very little focus needed! Because this is a piece of decoration, you can use yarn colors, fibers, and weights that you like best. Follow the pattern exactly to make a 44” long runner, or you can easily adjust the pattern length by adding rows until you have a length you love. While this pattern is written to create a table runner, you can use the stitch repeat multiple to work this design into other projects: washcloth, scarf, blanket, rug, and so much more!
Basic Keyhole Hand Towel
Ever since designing the Gingerbread Man Kitchen Towel, I've had many ask if I could design towels that hang in a similar way for year-round use. The Floral Blooms Hand Towel was the first in a fun, new series of crochet towels followed by the Farmhouse Striped Keyhole Hand Towel. Because crocheters loved the Farmhouse Striped Keyhole Hand Towel, I decided to come up with an even more basic crochet towel design that is suitable for beginner crocheters. This beginner friendly crochet pattern uses basic crochet stitches and techniques.
Haylee Hand Towel
Handmade hand towels are a favorite of mine. I love to make them, display them and use them in my kitchen. This hand towel is an easy, beginner friendly project that features simple half double crochet stitches. It's perfect for the kitchen, or the bathroom, and looks great in a solid color or stripes - you can even pull out your cotton scraps, and stashbust. I use my hand towel purely for drying my hands and decoration, but if you use yours to clean up messes, keep in mind, they may stain your fabric. I used WeCrochet Dishie Yarn for mine, but you're favorite worsted weight cotton yarn will do. For reference, I had mine ready in just under 4.5 hours.
