Free Pattern: Hanging Hand Towel

My favorite dish cloths are the ones that button around a handle. I wanted to design a simple crocheted one.

My mom has a double oven and I wanted a hanging towel that was a little shorter and squatty (love that word “squatty”) so it wouldn’t hang over the bottom oven.

A video is not currently available for this pattern. I have added many step-by-step pictures below. If you need additional help please send an email to the designer.

This towel is easy and whips up quickly. I hope you will enjoy making it. If you do, please share a photo and include #snappytots for a chance to win a paid pattern of choice.
