Looking for a pretty and practical way to hang your kitchen towels?
This crochet towel topper features soft sage green, mustard and cream stripes, a charming daisy granny square flap and a wooden button closure. It hangs neatly from a cabinet handle or hook and keeps your towel always within easy reach.
Description
This functional kitchen accessory is crocheted in a dense stitch using a lovely combination of sage green, golden yellow and cream yarn. The main body is worked in horizontal stripes and forms a pocket that holds a standard kitchen towel securely. The flap is a classic granny square centred with a large white daisy that has a yellow middle. A natural wooden button fastens the flap closed, and a simple loop at the top allows the holder to hang from a cupboard handle, hook or peg. Soft, absorbent and decorative, it adds a warm handmade touch to any kitchen.
