This fan kitchen towel is a perfect match for the fan dish detergent bottle cover found here. The stitch pattern is the same, only the towel is worked in rows and the cover is worked in rounds. Although the stitches are the same, the towel naturally has flare, but the cover does not.

The edging for the crocheted kitchen towel is worked on 3 sides only because it matches and ties in perfectly with the last crocheted row. Instructions are also given to crochet up a neat little button, but you can attach any other button that you like.

Material: Bernat Handicrafter Cotton (about 4.5oz.)
Hook Size: H/8-5.00MM
Finished Measurement: The actual towel measures approximately 19 inches across, and 14 inches long. The strap measures approximately 6 inches long and 2.5 to 3 inches wide.
