A left-handed quick and easy towel topper is a simple and practical crochet or knitting project designed to conveniently hang a hand towel in your kitchen or bathroom. This free pattern is specially crafted for left-handed crafters, making it easier for them to create a useful and decorative item for their home. Here’s a description of what you can expect from this pattern:

Skill Level: Beginner

Materials Needed:

  • Worsted weight cotton yarn in your desired color
  • Appropriate hook or needles for your chosen craft (crochet hook or knitting needles)
  • A hand towel (for attaching the topper)
  • Yarn needle for weaving in ends
  • Scissors

Instructions:

  1. Gather Your Materials: Collect all the materials listed above before you start working on your towel topper.
  2. Choose Your Yarn: Select a worsted weight cotton yarn in your favorite color or one that matches your kitchen or bathroom decor.
  3. Start with a Foundation Row: For crocheters, create a foundation chain of stitches. For knitters, cast on stitches. The number of stitches you start with will depend on the width of your towel and the desired width of your topper.
  4. Work the Main Body: Using a simple stitch pattern like single crochet (for crocheters) or garter stitch (for knitters), work back and forth in rows until the main body of your topper is long enough to comfortably fit the width of your towel.
  5. Buttonhole Placement: Leave a gap in the center of your topper where you’ll attach a button or fastener. This gap should be wide enough to accommodate the towel.
  6. Finishing: Bind off or finish your last row, ensuring that the buttonhole is centered and the edges are even.
  7. Attach the Towel: Fold your hand towel in half and thread it through the buttonhole. Ensure it’s centered and secure.
  8. Fasten: Use a decorative button or other fastener to secure the towel in place. Attach the button on the other side of the topper, aligning it with the buttonhole.
  9. Final Touches: Weave in any loose ends and trim excess yarn.
  10. Hang It Up: Your left-handed quick and easy towel topper is now ready to use. Simply hang it on a hook or towel bar in your kitchen or bathroom, and it’s ready to hold your hand towel.

This pattern is designed to be easy to follow, making it perfect for beginners and left-handed crafters who want to create a practical and attractive towel topper for their home.
