Thank you for this tutorial 😊 I'll be working on these for Chrissy prezzies 😊 my Grandma had teatowels with the tops on, and they're super handy, so I think she'll appreciate one for Chrissy 😊
So great to hear. I LOVE practical gifts - so I think your gifts are going to be a hit!
Fabulous, I watched 6 or 7 videos from others but too complicated for me. I just made this in one day and it’s adorable. It’s only my 2nd crochet project!
So glad you are crocheting Joni keep it up. Sue Ann

Thank you so much Daisy! I really appreciate that feedback and am glad to know you were able to follow along. Have a great day :)
I love love love how you did your foundation row and went all the way across! I've been watching these for 24 hours but yours will be the ones I make. Much more professional! I have to watch the rest of it now. Thank you!
This was a fantastic video. I really like the single crochet instead of the double and triple that I always seen. I Just finished my first and love it. Thank you for your concise instructions.
Thank you for letting me know! I'm a sucker for sc, will do sc just about as much as I can. Glad you found the video a good one.
You make more sense in how you create your topper than anyone else!! I love your videos! Very professional and easy to follow!! Thank you❤😊
I LOVE it! I lost my written pattern for this a long time ago! I love to have these because my towel always ends up on the floor. Thanks for showing me how to do it Again!
I watched several videos on blanket stitch yours the easiest, I figured another way to help, you know when you put the tail of yarn in crease to crochet in, well I took a piece the length of the towel and it worked great as a guide NY work looks so much better thanks for this video.
Thank you for showing how to create a hanging crochet topped towel! On your first row, I noticed you grab the yarn differently. Also, you wrap the yarn counter clockwise. I think that is a result of you being self-taught. I think the result is the same. Was wondering if you noticed you did that?!? Thank you for your video!
Love your haircolor
Thank you! Looks easy. Will definitely give it a go.
I love your crochet alongs, I wish you’d do more! ☺️🧶💯👍🏻😍
This was fabulous!!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate hearing that 🥰
Love these tea towels. So easy. Thank you very much. ❤
I Love this. Im going to try it. Looks so easy compared to the others with double crochet. Thank You.
Thanks Madelyn. It's a nice easy pattern.
Love your hair style and color...I have curly hair and I need to heat brush it to remove the curls.🤩
Thank you! Oh I'll bet your hair is gorgeous. My mom has curly hair too and it's so beautiful.
Easiest towel pattern yet! I thought at the beginning you said 8 or 9 stitches remaining. I decided to do 9. I think it works well because the buttons I had on hand are 1.25 in.
woohoo, that's great Ashley!
I do my blanket stitch different. You crochet different than I do too. It looks like you grab the yarn from above when you make a stitch. I go under yarn and grab yarn from below, I don't know if I am describing how I do it but it is completely different. But same end result. Very nice pattern. Thank you.
your decreases are regular decreases - insert hook, yo, pull through, insert hook in next stitch, yo, pull through, yo, pull through all three.
An inv dec is: insert hook into FLO of the next 2 stitches (so you end up with both FLO on the hook, no yo in between), yo, pull through both FLO, yo, pull through. Invisible decrease dont work very well in flat/standard crochet because youre turning the work and the back loops arent being decreased, and are pretty much only used in amigurumi
Wow how easy, thank you so much!! 🙏🇦🇺
my pleasure!
Thank you i love your video and the way you do the pattern slowly . And show where you put the needle and crochet hook . I was looking for tea towel top and i fond you group Thank you love from canada and texas as that is where i i am visiting right now .❤ from 🇨🇦 and west Texas🇨🇱❤🙏
Oh, thank you for letting me know! I'm glad you found it easy and straightforward
Great tutorial! Thank you!
Hi beautiful, love your new look. Have not crochet since April. Missed you, I have been in hospital 8 x since my first covid shot and haven’t crochet then. Going to start back up and came across you😍
I've been thinking about you my friend, wondering where you've been. I'm glad to hear you're back on the mend and will be picking up that crochet hook again soon. Much love and healing prayers to you
you make it very easy! thank you!
I've made a lot of these towels using your tutorial - thank you! One question I have is, what is the reasoning for counting the stitches in the first row of single crochet?
Love your.hair color!!
Ok trying this towel topper. So far I have not ft one I like yet
I have seen a chain stitch used for beginning also
On decreases looks alot better if you do a decrease at the ends and one in middle looks alot more even
My sides seem to be long. Is that normal. They fold a little behind the towel.
Yes, it should fold around
Hi! Yes, they will fold behind :)
good video
Thanks Diana :)
The way I decrease is 2 single then 1 single together, then 2 single, 1 single together.. which mean you start a single c. But don’t finish, go into the next loop do a single through all 3 loops..
How are you wrapping the yarn on your hook?
Very nice
Thank you :)
Very nice, but it looks like your doing single crochet upside down
Is there another video on how to do the stitches, I don’t know how to decrease or do a stitch.
Hi! I don't have any tutorials that teach you how to do them, but I know there are lots on TH-cam. I think the Crochet Crowd may have something perfect for you. Good luck!
@@FatLadyCrochet a month later and I have it all worked out, thanks for the tutorial :)
I like it
i like this
Nice I'm going to start one will post pick when done
Please do!
@@FatLadyCrochet I can't seem to post the pic but I have done several of them and they came out awesome
You're wasting a huge amount of time with that extremely long yarn for your blanket stitch. It's so easy to just start again with a new piece of yarn when you run out - you can easily hide it. My general rule of thumb is make the thread (yarn) about the length of thumb to elbow after it's folder over and it will be easy to manage & safe a ton of time! Excellent video.
I'm a left handed absolutr beginner and this tutorial is straight forward enough, but is blurry & out of focus 😢
& Yes, more demonstaration of the decreases would have been most useful.
Thank U for sharing
I had to search ‘how to decrease’ because you were too fast for me being a beginner.
What size towel did you use?
I just used a standard tea towel - this tutorial will show you how to crochet along the top, no matter what size you get.
I got a pattern for Jack-in-the-pumpkin from a magazine. Noticed there is a mistake in your count on round one of the cat.
shoot, I just checked and you're right. There should be a Rnd before Rnd 30 that goes, [Sc into next 3 sts, dec] around (36 sts). I'll get in touch with the magazine, thanks for the note.
@@FatLadyCrochet thank you !
Out of curiosity what yarn are you using?
I did this quite a while ago, but for the video it was something like a Red Heart in acrylic. Normally I use size 4 cotton, but my customer asked for this particular one.
Tha k you
Do you need to have a certain number on stitches to start with
You don't. The most important thing is to leave a 1/2 inch between the blanket stitches. But as you go, you'll reduce the stitch count of each row by 3, until you you have a row that is 8 or 9 sts. This is better explained in the video.
What are the measurements for the towels?
They're all a little different, but the ones I've mostly used are 19" x 29". The video shows you how to complete it, even if your tea towels are different sizes.
@@FatLadyCrochet thank you so much
You never showed how to decrease on that first row till the 2nd row.
How much do you charge for your tea towels?
I charge between CDN $15 and $20, depending on the kind of tea towel I use.
I cheat big time… I have a special disc/ scissor. Place a ruler to where you want the “holes) Roll the blade along the tiller and you have a line of holes perfectly spaced to crochet into Told you I cheated.😀
I fold in half and cut so you get 2 with each towel.
That's a good idea!
From the way I see this, you're crocheting on the vertical line which cuts the towels literally in half. I think there needs to be more of a length give...
The tea towels I'm using are folded in half, but the crocheting is worked along the horizontal edge - in other words, if I fold a 20" x 30" tea towel in half, I'll work along the top edge of the fold, which is 20" long, leaving 2 sides of the piece that are 15" long. Hope that makes sense!
You don’t take your time to show what you’re doing. I have no idea on to how to decrease. You go too fast
