These are both knitted on the Blue Knifty Knitter
I used Cotton yarn.
Use two stands of yarn.
Knit using the e- wrap
Dish Soap Cover
Row 1 – 10 knit
Turn brim knit off
Row 11- 27 knit
Row 28 mock crochet stitch around
Row 29 – 36 knit
Take off with gathering method ( don’t pull to tight you need to make the hole big enough to fit around the bottle top)
Then I crochet a cord for it. I didn’t keep track of how many chain stitches i did. Do make it long enough tie around the bottle. I did chain a length and then a chain stitch back in all the chains.
Then weave the cord you made in and out of the moch crochet row. Slip over a dish soap bottle and tie a bow
Towel Holder
Rows 1- 10 Knit
Turn to make brim
Rows 11 – 20 Knit
Take off with gathering stitch leave hole big enough to fit the I-Cord
make I-cord about 10 to 12 inches long tie both ends together to make a loop
insert cord though the hole and then loop towell over the icord under the top part and
pull the I cord tight .
Now you have a item that looks like abell holding a towel. you can put it on a knob or you
can loop it to fit on a bar type handle of you drawers or cuboards. I like this because i can
change the towel when needed and not have to change the top .

Thank you for publishing this clever pattern on the web! This is great! There are so many things I like about you design!
I have been making crocheted-top towels for years, and everyone loves them. But if the towel fades, you are stuck with an ugly kitchen towel. With these, people can even switch towels for different holidays, as well as for washing.
Also, I do not need to have any towels on hand to make the tops. I can make the tops anytime, and then later, when holiday towels hit the shelves, (or go on sale,) I can add the towels. These would be cute for newlyweds, with a year’s worth of holiday towels to use.
Just tonight DH and I were discussing holiday gifts for his office mates, and I said, “how about kitchen towels?” Won’t he be surprised when he sees the kitchen towels, mach 2!
