Towel Holders 3 Ways Pattern by Simply Made by Erin

Project Overview

This downloadable crochet pattern from Simply Made by Erin provides instructions for creating three different towel holder designs in a single project. These functional kitchen accessories are ideal for keeping dish towels organized and accessible. The pattern is suitable for crochet enthusiasts at the advanced beginner skill level who are ready to explore multiple variations of a single concept.

What You'll Create

The pattern yields three distinct towel holder designs, allowing crafters to choose their preferred style or create all three versions. These finished pieces are practical additions to any kitchen, offering a creative way to display and store dish towels while adding handmade charm to your home décor.

Crochet Techniques and Stitches

This project employs fundamental crochet techniques that reinforce core skills while building confidence. The pattern utilizes the following stitches and methods:

• Single Crochet (sc) – A basic stitch that creates a tight, dense fabric
• Half Double Crochet (hdc) – A medium-height stitch that works up quickly
• Herringbone Half Double Crochet (hhdc) – A textured variation that adds visual interest and dimension
• Double Crochet (dc) – A taller stitch that creates an open, flowing fabric
• Chain Stitches (ch) – The foundation of all crochet work, used to establish base rows and create structure
• Back Loop Only (blo) Technique – Working through only the back loop of stitches to create ribbed or ridged effects

Materials and Yarn Weight

The pattern is designed to work with chunky and super chunky yarn weights, which allows for quick project completion and satisfying results. The designer recommends using two strands of Size 5 bulky yarn held together, with approximately 25 yards of yarn needed to complete the project. Bernat Maker is the preferred yarn choice, though the designer notes that results may vary depending on the specific yarn selected.

An L11/8mm crochet hook (or a size appropriate to meet gauge) is required for this project. A tapestry needle is also necessary for weaving in ends and finishing details. A flexible measuring tool is recommended to ensure accurate dimensions.

Skill Level and Pattern Details

Classified as advanced beginner, this pattern assumes familiarity with basic crochet fundamentals while introducing slightly more complex techniques through the herringbone half double crochet stitch and multiple design variations. The pattern uses standard American crochet terminology and abbreviations, making it accessible to English-speaking crocheters worldwide.
