I love this “magic” hanging scrap towel. I mean, there’s nothing magic about how it hangs necessarily, it’s just a loop, but man is it magical to look at with all of those beautiful colors.
I used a scrap ball of cotton yarn for this project. You can chek out the blog: scrap ball of yarn if you’ve never made a scrap ball of yarn before.
Magic Hanging Scrap Towel Pattern
This pattern can be adjusted to make your towel larger or smaller depending on what you prefer just by changing hook size or beginning even number chain. My towel is 15X20″ and that’s what I’m sharing below.
Hook Size: 4.5mm
Foundation Row: Chain 56 (or any even number)
Row 1: SC in 2nd ch from hook. *Ch1, SK next Stitch, SC in next st* Repeat from * to *end. CH1 and Turn
Row 2: SC in 1st CH1 space, CH1, SC + Ch1 in each Ch1 space to end. SC in top of turning chain. Ch1 and Turn
Repeat Row 2 until your towel is your desired length (for me that was 70 rows)
Row 71: For Magic Hanging Loop:
Ch1, turn. SC + Ch1 in first 10 CH1 spaces
Create Loop: Chain 12
Finish Row: SC+Ch1 in remaining 10 Ch1 Spaces
Row 72: SC in top of turning chain, Ch 1, Turn
Row 73: SC+Ch1 in each Ch1 Space across.
Fasten off, weave in ends using Finishing Needles
