Hi everyone and welcome to my channel. My name is Amanda and I'm from Amanda crochets comm in today's tutorial. I'M going to teach you how to make this simple and easy towel topper, I'm making a bunch of these for an upcoming craft fair next month. So I thought I would share my bedroom with you, so this is what the finished product looks like, as I said, it's fairly easy to make and it requires little time to complete. So I hope you enjoy this tutorial to make today's towel topper. You will need some worsted weight yarn. This is a great scrap Buster project, as this doesn't require a lot of yarn. So I'm using some leftover yarn from a previous project and I'm using I love this yarn from Hobby Lobby. You will also need a towel. I like to pick my towels up from the dollar store, but you can go ahead and purchase your towels anywhere. You like you, also need a size. 8, 5.0 millimeter crochet hook. You'Ll need a hair tie a pair of scissors, a tapestry needle, and you will need one button. This particular button is from Walmart and it is a 3/4 inch button. If I could focus on this here there you go, let's get started with today's tutorial. Okay, so first you want to grab your hair tie and you want to just put your hook underneath so it's just sitting on top just like that, then you want to grab some yarn and put it on top of your hook, be sure to leave a little Bit of the tail, so you can weave that in and now you just want to pull your yarn through your hair tight grab on to that long strand, and it's kind of like a sloppy Slipknot. If you want to go ahead and make a traditional Slipknot, you can go ahead and do that. Then you want to go ahead and chain 3 so to make a chain you're going to do yarn over your hook and pull through that loop on your hook. So that's 1, 2 & 3. Okay, then you're gon na go ahead and make a double crochet all the way around your hair tie. You don't have to make any specific number of double crochets. You just want to make sure that your entire hair tie is covered in double crochets, so to make a double crochet you're gon na do yarn over your hook insert your hook underneath that hair tie pull up a loop. This might be a little tricky at first for beginners, if you're not used to a crocheting around a hair tie. But then you're gon na have three loops on your hook: yarn over pull through the first two loops yarn over pull through the last two loops. Okay, so that's your first double crochet, so go ahead and continue making double crochets across around the entire hair tie I like to hold the tail of the yarn close to the hair tie and actually crochet over it. That way, it's one less tail for you to weave in at the end, but if you prefer to not do that and leave all your tails and at the very end, that's perfectly fine as well, whatever you feel comfortable with so again, you're just gon na make A double crochet around your entire hair tie until you get to the very beginning, so I'm going to go ahead and finish that up and I will meet back with you when I have finished okay, so now that your hair tie is completely filled with double crochets. You want to make a slipknot into that very first double crochet that you made so this one right here, so you want to skip that chain, three that you made at the beginning, and you want to make a slipknot in the top of that double crochet from The beginning to close up your round, so this is what it's going to look like next, you want to go ahead and chain one, and you want to make one single crochet in that very same stitch as your chain, and then you want to make a single Crochet in the next eight, so nine two single crochets all together so to make a single crochet you're, going to insert your hook into your stitch yarn over pull up a loop two loops on your hook, yarn over pull through both loops. So that's one two three! Four: five: six: seven, eight nine okay, so you should have nine single crochet. So two, four six, eight nine to go on to the next row. You'Re gon na make a chain one and turn your work just grab a little bit more yarn here. So now, you're gon na continue this and you're gon na make sixteen rows altogether. So again in that very first stitch, you're gon na make a single crochet and then you're going to make a single crochet in each stitch across so a total of nine stitches again. So this is two three or five six: seven, eight and nine so go ahead and make a chain one and one single crochet across for a total of 16 rows, and I will come back and show you how to complete the final two rows. Okay, so I completed 16 rows, so this is what it looks like next you're going to make a chain 1 and turn your work. So this is going to be your button loop row, so this is going to be a little bit different, so you're going to go ahead and make a single crochet in the first four stitches, so 1, 2, 3 and 4. Then you're going to go ahead and chain 1 you're gon na skip that very next stitch and you're gon na make a 1 single crochet in the last 4 stitches of your row so skip that one and then you have 1, 2, 3 & 4. For your last row, you're going to make a chain 1 and you're gon na single crochet in each stitch across and across including that chain 1 space that you made so should have nine altogether. So that's 1. 2. 3. 4. In that space you want to just go around the entire stitch, so 5 see how it creates that button loop right there, 6 7, eight and nine okay. So that's what your towel topper will look like. So next you want to just take your scissors and you want to cut your yarn. You want to leave a little bit to weave in your ends at the end and then finish you're going to do a yarn over and then pull through and then tighten okay. So then, you're going to go ahead and weave in this end and you're going to take some of your yarn and you're going to insert it into your button loops, and I will show you how to attach the button on to the front of your towel. Topper. Okay, now that I have threaded my button, you're going to put it on to the front of your towel touch break. So this is your ring right here and you're just going to place it in the center right around the first or second or even third row of your single crochet stitches. So what I like to do is I like to get my crochet hook and kind of just pinpoint what the middle would be and I would insert it from the back grab one of the strands and pull through completely and then the same thing. With the other side skip a stitch or two, so it looks like it's going to be in the middle grab, the other strand and pull through. So that's what your button will look like when it's completed and on the back. This is what it will look like. I like to tie it together with a double knot before I weave in my ends. I kind of feel like it gives the button a little bit more security to of staying on. So I'm going to go ahead and complete that, for you guys and I able to show you what the finished product looks like. So this is what your towel topper will look like once you saw the button on and then you want to simply fold down this and insert your button into that button. Loop that you need and there your job. Then you want to just go ahead and grab your towel and you want to go ahead and insert it. That'S why I like using the hair type, because it gives you a little bit more flexibility plus. You can also coordinate your towels with your towel topper. I usually like to do this with the different holidays and such so. If you want to use different titles, then you can keep the towel topper and you can just switched out your towel and that way you can just wash your towel without having to wash your towel topper unless your towel topper is dirty of course. So there you go, this is what the finished product looks like with the towel inside again, it's a very beginner friendly and easy project to work on, and it will take you no time at all. I like to make this for a different crafts fairs and whatnot, but it could also be used for a great housewarming party as well, and I really like making them and I feel like they are very beginner friendly, like I said so.
