Crocheted towel holder. Towel holder

A towel holder is a beautiful, convenient and practical thing that suits any style of kitchen or bathroom interior design. A crocheted holder can also be an excellent gift that will help break the deep-rooted stereotype that giving a towel as a gift is a bad omen. Well, many people may be sure of this, but this sign does not apply to the towel holder

To crochet a sunflower towel holder, we will need:

Chocolate yarn - approx. 20-30 gr. (you can use acrylic, cotton and other leftover yarn, I used leftover wool for children Viking Baby Ull, 50 g. = 175 m. and knitted in 2 threads);
- yellow yarn - approx. 20-30 gr. (I used the remains of Gjestal Baby Ull wool, 50 gr. = 175 m. and knitted in 2 threads);
- a hook of a suitable size (No. 3.5);

Designations:

sc = single crochet;
pssn = half double crochet;
dc = double crochet;
ch = air loop;
ss = connecting post;
Increase = 2 tbsp. b/n in one loop of the previous row;

Knitting description:

Holder base:

1st row: cast on 12 ch with a brown thread and knit 1 dc in the third loop from the hook, 8 dc in the subsequent loops, then 3 dc in the last loop of the chain, then turn the knitting over and knit 8 dc on the back side of the chain from the ch, 1 dc in the first chain loop and 1 dc to complete the row. Next, knit in the round and start each row with 3 lifting stitches. [=22]

2nd row: 3 ch inc, 1 dc in the same loop (first inc), inc, 8 dc, 3 inc, 8 dc, 1 inc, 1 dc [= 28].
3rd row: 3 ch inc, 1 dc in the same loop (first increase), 1 dc, increase, 9 dc, (inc, 1 dc)* repeat 3 times, 8 dc, increase, 1 dc, 1 dc [= 34] .
Row 4: (inc, 2 dc)* repeat 2 times, 8 dc, (inc, 2 dc)* repeat 3 times, 8 dc, inc, 2 dc, 1 dc [= 40].
Row 5: (inc, 3 dc)* repeat 2 times, 8 dc, (inc, 3 dc)* repeat 3 times, 8 dc, inc, 3 dc, 1 dc [= 46].
Rows 6-7: 46 dc [= 46]
Row 8: tying according to the pattern:

Please note that this size holder is designed to hold a thick terry towel. For a regular kitchen towel, which is much thinner, the base of the holder should also be smaller in size. In this case, I recommend knitting rows 1-4, and then 2 rows without increases and the last row of binding.

Handle holder:
- the towel holder handle has 3 holes and 2 buttons, which makes it universal and suitable for any type of fastening. For example, a towel in a holder can be hung on a hook, on a ring holder, on a door handle or the handle of a kitchen stove.
Turn the holder base right side out. From the stitches of the cast-on edge of the base (chain of 12 ch - see 1st row of the base), cast on a chain of 30 ch:

Next, knit a row of sc, returning along the loops of the chain back to the base of the holder. To attach the chain to the base of the holder, knit 1 dc.
Knit another row of sc in the same way.
In the next row you need to knit the holes for the buttons, for this you need to knit as follows:
- 4 sc, 3 ch and skip 3 sc from the previous row, 7 sc, 3 ch and skip 3 sc from the previous row, 7 sc, 3 ch and skip 3 sc from the previous row, 5 sc 1 sl for attaching to the base.
This is what the holder handle looks like at this stage:

We knit 2 more rows of sc in the manner described above, and then, without tearing off the thread, we tie the handle along its entire perimeter in a “crawfish step” (I tied it with one thread):

All that remains is to sew the buttons on the back side of the base of the holder at a distance corresponding to the distance between the holes:

The towel holder is ready!

Now you need to figure out how to decorate the holder. You can use your imagination and leftover yarn and decorate the holder with multi-colored knitted flowers.
You can choose yarn to match the color of the towel or, conversely, a contrasting color, and knit ruffles over the base.
For children's options, you can decorate the holder with knitted faces of people or animals.
If you plan to have a colored towel, you can choose yarn that matches the color and try to repeat the pattern of the towel by crocheting it.
In general - invent, try, experiment! All in your hands.

I suggest decorating the holder with a crocheted sunflower flower:

Sunflower flower:

We knit the core of a sunflower:
1st row: cast on 2 chains with a brown thread and close it into a ring. Knit 7 sc [= 7]. Next knit in the round.
2nd row: * increase *. Repeat * 7 times [= 14].
3rd row: * increase, 1 sc *. Repeat * 7 times [= 21].
4th row: * increase, 2 sc *. Repeat * 7 times [= 28].
Row 5: * increase, 3 sc *. Repeat * 7 times [= 35].
Row 6: * increase, 4 sc *. Repeat * 7 times [= 42].
Row 7: * increase, 5 sc *. Repeat * 7 times [= 48].
Rows 8-9: 48 sc [= 48].

Next, we knit a sc in the second loop from the hook, then in the subsequent loops we knit hdc, dc, 2 dc2n, dc, hdc, sc and a connecting loop in the next loop of the base of the sunflower to secure the petal.

For those who are more familiar with knitting patterns, I suggest the following short petal pattern:

Next, we knit a slightly longer petal by analogy with the previous one, for this we cast on 12 ch and then in the center of the petal, instead of 2 dc2n, we knit 4 dc2n.
Here is a knitting pattern for a long sunflower petal:

We continue in the same way, alternating long and short petals around the entire circumference of the flower:

You can decorate a sunflower flower with ready-made butterflies, ladybugs, etc.

The towel holder with a knitted sunflower flower is ready!

A clean and neatly decorated apartment is the dream of every housewife. An important attribute of such tidiness is the arrangement of all things in strictly designated places.

It is customary to store towels hanging on hooks. However, due to the current variety of such types of fastening, the question arises of which towel hooks to choose. We will talk about this in our article.

Advantages and disadvantages of hooks

These devices are a good option for storing towels, since this method does not contradict the basic requirements of sanitation, and in terms of convenience it is quite suitable for owners and guests.

On towels that hang on hooks and are not stored on shelves or other places without access to fresh air, the risk of reproduction and development of colonies of harmful microorganisms is much lower. In addition, they save space, which is especially important for small bathrooms and kitchens in small apartments. And then, these personal hygiene items, hanging in places of direct use, create the necessary comfort for the inhabitants of the home.

Along with the benefits of this type of fastening, there are also opposing opinions based on the possibility of disturbing the design and interior of the room due to hanging towels. But this drawback is unlikely to be true for bathrooms. Here they always come in handy, especially since the appearance of modern bath towels, on the contrary, can only decorate such a room. In the kitchen it is quite possible to do without hanging means for wiping dishes after washing them. And if you have a dishwasher, then there is no need for towels in the kitchen.

Types of products

There are a wide variety of types and types of towel hooks on the market today.

On suction cups

Perfect for those who do not want to violate the integrity of the wall. Perfect for the pre-shower area (where there is not too much humidity). But we cannot recommend such holders, since they are rather weak for a large towel – even a dry one.

Velcro

A similar option to the previous one, but more reliable (it is known that suction cup mounts often fall off the wall, dropping everything that was hanging on them). This type is suitable directly for the bathroom.

Screw-on

Using self-tapping screws, bolts and other building elements - such products are universal, but not very popular, as they require violating the integrity of the wall structure.

Do it yourself

At home, you can make your own towel hooks from a variety of materials: stone, wood, leather or even concrete.

However, one of the most popular, affordable and pliable materials is plywood. Making a towel hook from this material is not difficult even for a beginner.

First you need to sand the plywood to the desired size, after which it needs to be primed. This will be the basis for future fastenings.
Further, the only limit is your imagination: you can paint the product in your favorite color or apply a design to it. So, you can draw a cute face if the hook is intended for a baby towel.
Attach the finished base to the wall in a convenient way.

To create a fastening, you can use a rope (from which you should make a loop), an alligator clip, or even ordinary buttons. You can also make a double hook using 2 fasteners. Or you can use a jigsaw to cut out decorative holders of any shape from the same plywood and glue them into the slots cut into the base according to the size of the finished holders. All parts, of course, should be processed and then painted.
You can add elegance to the mount by painting it in a single color tone (for example, beige or white).

This plywood towel rack is suitable for a dry room, since the material will not withstand high humidity.

What height is best to hang it at?

You can hang towel hooks at any height convenient for you. The standard distance from the floor is 190-200 centimeters. But here it is also important to take into account the growth of household members. For example, if a child will use the towels located on this holder, then the height should be reduced to suit his height. It is worth remembering that if you have pets, you do not need to hang towels too low.

A towel hook in the bathroom, although a very minor detail, can become an important component of the room's interior. If you like to be original, make a homemade hook from a suitable material. This can not only add an interesting twist to the design, but also save money.

An interesting idea for making a towel hook is in the video below.

A towel holder is a beautiful, convenient and practical thing that suits any style of kitchen or bathroom interior design. A crocheted holder can also be an excellent gift. It is with great pleasure that I will share with you a pattern and description of how to knit this holder.

Designations:
sc = single crochet;
pssn = half double crochet;
dc = double crochet;
ch = air loop;
ss = connecting post;
Increase = 2 tbsp. b/n in one loop of the previous row;

Knitting description:

Holder base:
1st row: cast on 12 ch with a brown thread and knit 1 dc in the third loop from the hook, 8 dc in the subsequent loops, then 3 dc in the last loop of the chain, then turn the knitting over and knit 8 dc on the back side of the chain from the ch, 1 dc in the first chain loop and 1 dc to complete the row.

Row 5: (inc, 3 dc)* repeat 2 times, 8 dc, (inc, 3 dc)* repeat 3 times, 8 dc, inc, 3 dc, 1 dc [= 46].
Rows 6-7: 46 dc [= 46]
Row 8: tying according to the pattern:

Please note that this size holder is designed to hold a thick terry towel. For a regular kitchen towel, which is much thinner, the base of the holder should also be smaller in size. In this case, I recommend knitting rows 1-4, and then 2 rows without increases and the last row of binding.

Internal fastening:
Turn the base of the holder to the wrong side and from the outermost loops of the first row of the base, cast on a chain of 20 ch (or less for thinner towels). Then attach the chain to the loops on the other side of the first row.
Next, knit a row of sc along a chain of ch and at the end of the row with one sl st, attach the row to the loops of the first row of the base. Knit a couple more rows of sc in the same way, at the end of each row knit 1 dc to attach the internal fastener to the base of the holder.
This is what the internal mount looks like from the back of the holder base:

Handle holder:
- the towel holder handle has 3 holes and 2 buttons, which makes it universal and suitable for any type of fastening. For example, a towel in a holder can be hung on a hook, on a ring holder, on a door handle or the handle of a kitchen stove.
Turn the holder base right side out. From the stitches of the cast-on edge of the base (chain of 12 ch - see 1st row of the base), cast on a chain of 30 ch:

Knit another row of sc in the same way.
In the next row you need to knit the holes for the buttons, for this you need to knit as follows:
- 4 sc, 3 ch and skip 3 sc from the previous row, 7 sc, 3 ch and skip 3 sc from the previous row, 7 sc, 3 ch and skip 3 sc from the previous row, 5 sc 1 sl for attaching to the base.

We knit 2 more rows of sc in the manner described above, and then, without tearing off the thread, we tie the handle along its entire perimeter in a “crawfish step” (I tied it in one thread):

All that remains is to sew the buttons on the back side of the base of the holder at a distance corresponding to the distance between the holes:

The towel holder is ready!

I suggest decorating the holder with a crocheted sunflower flower.
We knit the core of a sunflower:
Row 1: cast on 2 chs with a brown thread and close into a ring. Knit 7 sc [= 7]. Next knit in the round.
2nd row: * increase *. Repeat * 7 times [= 14].
3rd row: * increase, 1 sc *. Repeat * 7 times [= 21].
4th row: * increase, 2 sc *. Repeat * 7 times [= 28].
Row 5: * increase, 3 sc *. Repeat * 7 times [= 35].
Row 6: * increase, 4 sc *. Repeat * 7 times [= 42].
Row 7: * increase, 5 sc *. Repeat * 7 times [= 48].
Rows 8-9: 48 sc [= 48].

Next we knit sunflower petals. To do this, proceed to knitting with yellow yarn and join the yarn by knitting 1 connecting loop. Then we knit 10 ch:

Next, we knit a sc in the second loop from the hook, then in the subsequent loops we knit hdc, dc, 2 dc2n, dc, hdc, sc and a connecting loop in the next loop of the base of the sunflower to secure the petal.

For those who are better versed in knitting patterns, I suggest the following short petal pattern:

Next, we knit a slightly longer petal by analogy with the previous one, for this we cast on 12 ch and then in the center of the petal, instead of 2 dc2n, we knit 4 dc2n.
Here is a knitting pattern for a long sunflower petal:

We continue in the same way, alternating long and short petals around the entire circumference of the flower:

You can decorate a sunflower flower with ready-made butterflies, ladybugs or dragonflies.
