Bobble or Scallop Towel Top *crochet pattern

Event season is coming and everyone always asks if I have any towels...well, I certainly do!

I used to cut the towels in half, sew the cut ends with a sewing machine then stitch with a needle to create the area where I would begin a top.  THAT was before.  For the past few years I have been in love with just keeping them folded and crocheting directly into the towel!  It sounds scarier than it is, I promise.

 

Materials:

 steel crochet hook size 1 (2,75mm)

G Hook

WW yarn of your choice, I used old Red Heart Super Saver in Gold

3/4"-1 1/8 " button I buy them in sets of 2 for  $0.88 at Walmart

Kitchen Towel of your choosing- I used seasonal towels from Walmart @ $0.88 a piece for pattern

Yarn needle

Abbreviations:
