My Grandmother used to gift everyone Crochet kitchen towel toppers. I used mine until it was ragged! I always loved them, and whenever I looked at them, I would wonder how in the world she made them! Now, I make them and gift them to friends and family. I was surprised by the response to my “Life’s a Hoot!” kitchen towel toppers.  People really liked them a lot! In fact, someone just asked me about them today! I had already moved them from my Facebook group files to my blog. I do have other step-by-step YouTube video tutorials for different crochet kitchen towel toppers:

Different crocheters have different methods for making their crochet kitchen towel toppers. My Grandmother used to cut her kitchen towels to make hers. I didn’t like cutting my towels. So, I make mine with the whole kitchen towel.

Here is the kitchen towel that I chose just in time for Easter:

 

You can use acrylic yarns, but I actually prefer 100% cotton yarn and a 4.oomm crochet hook. In the YouTube video tutorial, I used a larger crochet hook. Now, I prefer the 4.00mm crochet hook.

 

Use a tapestry/darning needle with a sharp end. If you would like to see what crochet items that I use, I list them all out on my Beginner Crocheter page.
