Weekly Wash #4: Penguin Hanging Towel

Penguins are one of my favorites and I thought they would make a cute hanging towel. Winter in Utah can get pretty blah in January so I wanted to make my penguin a little more colorful. Of course he would be cute in traditional black as well.

He has a strap at the back to hook around an oven handle. Slip the button through his scarf section to the front.


This pattern completes my 4 piece set for the month. I hope you enjoy all of these patterns.

  • Week #1: January Washcloth
  • Week #2: January Scrubbie
  • Week #3: Chill Buddy

    • Sample Colors: Peaches & Cream Black Currant, Peaches & Cream Blue Moon Ombre, White, Orange
  • Crochet Hook: H (5mm), I (5.5mm)
  • Miscellaneous: Yarn needle for weaving in ends, black thread, sewing needle, 2 small black buttons for eyes (¼” – ⅜”), 1 large button for closure (¾”), pins

Carved pumpkins are one of my most favorite things Carved pumpkins are one of my most favorite things! 
Do you carve or paint pumpkins? Please comment and let me know.

I love a lit pumpkin on the porch for trick or treaters 🎃 

My grand daughter and sil are both allergic to pumpkins so they paint theirs. A giant storm destroyed theirs so I carved them one to have out tonight (my daughter is going to light it). 
I made mine into a witch 🧙‍♀️ 

The hat is a free pattern and made from @redheartyarns super saver.
