Towel Toppers I

My latest obsession:

TOWEL TOPPERS!!!

With a rose enclosure instead of a button:
 Made from a microfiber towel purchased at the Dollar Store, cut in half.
Two dish towels = $1 USD!
Medium blue and light blue, both with red roses!
Made easy with the "Sharp Crochet Hook",
a favorite crochet tool!
I love working with gingham; 
the squares make it so easy to make straight cuts and line stitches up evenly.
Pattern found here.

One is here:

 and one here:

Don't for a second think this is the end of these....
It's just the beginning!
(But you knew that didn't you?)

    Love them, my mum has made them for years. She also uses them in the caravan.
    Have a nice evening.

    These are really great Astri. You are so funny, I get it though. I got this same way with crocheting dish rags.

    They're very pretty - and very creative to use a rose for the closure instead of a button. :)
