Cute Hanging Towels

I made this to copy ones that my mom used to make back when she could see and didn’t have arthritis.  She used to take kitchen towels and crochet tops for each half to hang on her drawers. I thought since hers are getting old I’d take a try at making some for her…but since my sewing skills are better than my crocheting skills…I tried this way.

This was my first made-up attempt!

the size will work perfect for hanging on drawer handles, but for gifts I would probably make the strap longer to hang on drawers or stove handles.  Also I would pleat the towel the other way…basically turn it around, because I like how it hangs better backwards.  I think I’ll make another to match and then keep on making them! I want some for us, and maybe I’ll make mom a second set.  If you want my pattern let me know. Not bad for a first made up attempt-right?
