Thank you soo much, you explain and show everything your doing, you dont leave me guessing, I just finished pulling my work out, twice, trying to figure out what the lady was doing❤
You are very welcome! I hope that you have a beautiful day! Happy crocheting!
Best crochet video ever. Love that the camera is close and you go slow so I can see what you're doing. Will definitely try to make them. So very nice. Thank you.
Hi Linda! Thank you very much! Happy Crocheting!
I couldn’t sleep well this early a.m. so felt like watching a crochet 🧶 video, as they usually calm me down watching. But this one Project is just so adorable 🥰 I watched the entire video thinking 🤔 this nice lady is ☝️ of the BEST CROCHET EDUCATORS I’ve seen yet on CZcams.
I already know how to crochet but I’m teaching my “all thumbs” husband, how to crochet & knit. After watching, I’m pretty sure he’ll see how the different basic stitches are made! He tells me, the others go too fast & don’t show how the hook maneuvers the” loops & stitches”.
You did such a good job explaining the Single, Half-Double & Double Crochet stitches. Now when he & I practice his needle work again, I’m turning-on THIS ELEGANT THOROUGH, WELL DONE 👍🏻 VIDEO.
Thanks…. Made My Night & Wee Hours of the Morning. 🙏🏼
You made my morning too! Thank you for the nice comment! Happy crocheting!

I keep using this pattern for my arthritic family members. Your version of the buttons makes it so much easier on your hands. Thank you for this tutorial.
Hi Peannut! You are very welcome! I am so happy that you like them! I hope that your family members love them too! Happy Crocheting!
I’m being Crocheting for years first time I’ve ever been taught how to do a flower love it thank you
You are very welcome! Happy Crocheting!
I’ve been crocheting for years but have never made these. I’ve watched every towel topper tutorial out. Yours is by far the easiest and less time consuming.♥️ You are a great teacher !
Hi Kelly! Thank you for the nice comment! Happy crocheting!
Thank You so much for going really slow so we can see what you are doing. I was watching a video the other day, and she was going so fast I couldn’t see what she was doing. I even watched it several times, could never see all of the stitches. I have been crocheting for years so I know my stitches. But this was crazy. I can imagine what it was for a beginner. So again Thank You. Love your channel ❤️❤️❤️
YOu are very welcome. Thank you for the nice comment. You made my day! Happy Crocheting!
I love this thank you! I have been looking all over town for buttons and they are very expensive when I only want a few, this is a great alternative! Thank you! And pretty too! :)
Hi Emma! You are very welcome! Happy Crocheting!

You are very welcome!
You are awesome! Very patient and your so easy to follow. Thank you so much.
Hi Mary! Thank you very much for the nice comment! Have a beautiful day! :)
Thanks, I don't have a sewing machine, which is needed for a lot of the other towels need. This is great.
I agree with Prophetic End Time, and HelenMay is a great teacher.
Grest ideas, super tescher
thank you ..Your vedio makes this towel so easy to make I always some of these towels for my kitchen..I caint wait to follow you with more patterns..I'll be joining in your face book page. Thanks again
Hi Carmen! You are very welcome! :)
Hi from Tennessee I'm a first time crocheter with you love your video I was wondering if I don't fold the towel like you did will it turn out the same I've never seen the towel folded like this I've only seen a towel folded in half going to follow your pattern for my first topper. Thank you
Hi Janice! I think that folding in this manner helps to show off the design. It is my favorite way to make these crochet kitchen towel toppers. My grandmother used to cut them, but I prefer to use the whole towel. I hope that helps. Happy crocheting.
This is an excellent tutorial, very clear!
Thank you Rosemary! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
Thank you. The 3D flower is a nice change to buttons. I used red for topper and my contrasting color for flower is blue. Very nice.
You are very welcome! :)
i know what my mother in law and boss will be getting for Christmas now thank you
You are very welcome! :)
Thanks for the easy tutorial to follow!! Have subscribed to your channel and look forward to more easy tutorials in the future. Will be making these in the coming months for quick gifts...Thanks again!! Great Job!!
Thank you very much! :)
Thanks for sharing, the things you make are beautiful. I love the flower for the button, Thanks 👍👍💕♥️😃
You are so welcome
Really enjoyed this video so easy to follow along. Thanks for you’re crocheting video is beautiful
Thank you Myrna! :)
I've made two of these now. I can't thank you enough!
Hi Kristina! You are very welcome! :)
Excellent video tutorial & fabulous design!
Thank you Patty!
Thank you for sharing such a pretty special project like many of the other posts can't wait to go shopping .
Hi Connie! You are very welcome! :)
Everyone has thier own way of holding the needle..its whatever is comfortable.
Out of all the videos out there...yours is the only one i could follow. My towel is much longer but im still able to follow.
That is awesome! Happy Crocheting! :)
I had to finish differently though because the edges didnt fit that bigger towel so i put a slight ruffle on the edge and 2 buttons.
You are very good with instructions, very easy to follow.😊💐😊
Thanks so much 😊
Awesome video and tutorial!!! Thank you so much!
Hi Kathy! You are very welcome! :)

Hi oul zaha! Thank you very much!! :)
Excellent Tutorial...Thank you....
You are very welcome! :)
Thank you. I love this tutorial and it was very easy to understand.
Hi...what are your thoughts on doing an edge around the topper? I like how it gives you more of a finished look!
Hi Cyndi! I hear that a lot from people. I like both methods. If you want to give it an edge, I would recommend a sc stitch all along the edges of the crochet towel topper. :)
Beautiful your very talented
Thank you very much!
Clear and concise. Thank you. 👍
Hi Renee! You are very welcome! :)
Thank u very much and you are best teacher
You are very welcome! Happy New Year!!
Soooo helpful Thanxs soooo very MUCHLY

Great video, thanks!
ganahan kaayu ani kai dali ra masaptan og sayun awaton kai slow mo ang instruction. Thank you for sharing.
You are very welcome!
youare really good at being understood which is awesome but is there anyway to neaten up the side of topper?
Hi Nancy! You could make a border of 1sc in every stitch. :)
I love the towels and pot holders. Can I ask where you found them?
Hi Diane! I believe that I found them at Kohls Department store, but I tell you the name of the kitchen towel designer in the video tutorial. I have googled the designer on Amazon before, and found them that way too. When I first uploaded this you tube video tutorial, a lot of people loved these towels and asked about them. :)
Wonderful pattern and video. Is there a written pattern for it? Thank you
Yes, I have a free written pattern in my Helenmay Crochet You Tube Channel Facebook Group Files. It is free to join my Facebook group. :)
@@helenmaycrochet8411 I joined and have been searching for hrs no luck anywhere else I can get the printable pattern I am so frustrated sorry
I love this video easy to understand, but question on the embroidery stich how many do you have across your towel?
Hi Diane! It varies. I just evenly space them across the towel.
great video, maybe I missed it, but I noticed you used cotton yarn... do you prefer cotton or does it matter? like I have a lot of both, cotton and worsted weight. Im thinking of using up some yarn doing this project. I was just curious as to what you preferred and why? :) great video thank you so much!!!
Hi Lynne! You are very welcome! It doesn't matter what yarn you use for this project. I love "I Love this Cotton" yarn, and I had a lot of this yarn left over. The colors matched perfectly with my kitchen towels that I used for this project. :)
HelenMay Crochet awesome :) I have two teen girls and want to do this project with them. it's video tutorial is easy to follow and simple materials . thank you again we'll share the finished projects!! :)
I think that is wonderful! My grandmother did the same for me. :)
Lynne, I use a lot of 100% cotton yarn simply because it handles machine wash and dry better than others. Less pilling/fraying/stretching as other yarns. Just my 2 cents :)
I Lynne Freeman
Why didn't you put an edging or border around the cart where you crocheted?
I am going to try to find the thing you made to cover the liquid dish detergent and a wine bottle. I am hoping I can find it. It looks beautiful!
You're so talented. We are very blessed that you are sharing your talents with us.
Do you have a tutorial on how to make ADULT BIBS? I work with elderly with Dementia and feed them.
Thank you.
You are very welcome! I am not sure what you mean about a cart? I don't have any adult bibs at this time. Thank you for your nice compliment. Have a beautiful day! :)
HelenMay Crochet sorry was meaning to type the word "part", not cart.
You could put an edging if you want. I just show people how to crochet, and they can make whatever changes they like I prefer mine the way I made it. Have a wonderful day! Thank you for commenting. :)
HelenMay Crochet I don't know how to put the edging that was why I was hoping you were going to do one with the edging.
Oh, I see. Sorry about that. I don't have plans to make one right now, but I will keep a kitchen towel with an edging in mind. Is there any type of edging in particular that you would like to see me make? Shells?
I'm here again with another question!
I am trying to go into the petals on the outside & put all those stitches in, but I have to pull back each st. To make room for the next one. You make it look so ez. I dnt understand what I'm doing wrong. Also, where do you find those pearls with the hole big enuff. 1 more thing, I still can't find your written instructions. You are an excellent teacher. Thank you. Joy 😇 OK.
HI Joy! Here is the direct link to the written pattern: helenmaycrochet.com/2018/03/14/life-is-a-hoot-crochet-towel-toppers/
Que bonito queda. gracias por su tiempo valioso y explicas muy bien gracias
¡De nada! Gracias por el lindo comentario.
Hi Helen I will like to no hear to find those kitchen towels they look great and I love ❤owls?
Hi Maria! I am sorry but I don't remember where I got the towels. I usually go to Kohls, Walmart, or on Amazon.
Thank you for this tutorial! 😊
Hi Tamikia! You are very welcome! :)
Very good teacher
Hi Lorraine! Thank you very much! I really appreciate the nice comment!
after waching cant wait to get started
Do you need to have an even number of embroidery chain stitches to begin with? Thanks.
Hi Rebecca! Whenever I make my embroidery stitches, I just make sure that the size of each one is equivalent and large enough to fit my crochet hook through. The number shouldn't matter with this easy to crochet pattern. :)
Love your tutorial. So easy to follow. Just one question why would you chain 3 if it is a double? I always thought 2. I’m new to it so I wasn’t sure. Thanks
Hi Crissy! Thank you very much. I learned from someone else that a ch3 is for a double crochet and a ch2 is for a half double crochet. This method has worked for me. I ch4 for a treble crochet. I hope that helps. Happy crocheting!
HelenMay Crochet wonderful. Thanks for the tip
I love this but not being a creative craft person, your instructions are so detailed. But being a simple person, I'd have appreciated instructions on how to stitch a button rather than the rose. Do you have tutorials that show how to sew a button into the crochet topper?
Hi Abi! I think that a button would be cute too. All you do is sew the button in place of the crochet rose. I don't have a tutorial to show how to do this.
Awesome I love the towel!
I love those towels!! Where did u get them?
I got some of them from Kohls department store, but I forget where exactly I picked these up. During the holidays, stores start putting out holiday kitchen towels. Oh yeah, Big Lots may have some too, but Kohls has a wonderful selection. Joann craft store also puts some out too. :)
P.S. You can always get them from Amazon also.
a simple and easy edging
Dollar stores are great for finding good deals. I get mine from the Dollar Tree.
Where can I buy those towels and matching pot holders? Is there an online store I can order them? please reply. Thanks.
Hi Sonia! I have all the information on my "Life's a Hoot" blog post: helenmaycrochet.com/2018/03/14/life-is-a-hoot-crochet-towel-toppers/
Awesome video!!
Me gusta mucho como explica él pasó a paso. Feliz Navidad
¡Muchas gracias! Feliz Navidad para ti también
How do you reduce if you are putting stitch in each stitch across?
Hi Thereasa! When you turn without chaining you reduce the stitch count. I hope that helps.
I can't find the web site for the free downloadable written pattern. Please give the web site. Love the video. Thanks for sharing.

Do you have to use cotton yarn
Great video thanks
Hi Marie! It is a personal choice. I personally think that 100% cotton, especially "I Love This Cotton" would work best for this crochet project, but you could use 100% acrylic too.
@@helenmaycrochet8411 where do I find the written pattern
Hello I’m new the crocheting and was wondering if you can tell me what size your using for a crocheting needle
Hi Tammy! I let you know all of the materials that you need in the beginning of the video tutorial! I hope that you have a beautiful day and Happy Crocheting!
Thanks I'll take a look 👍🏻
Where can I find the sparkly yarn to use for the flower?Is there an alternative?I went to 3 stores and couldn't find any.
Also a beginner and great help.
Thank you very much! :)
Can you do the ripple? That’s one I can’t do I’ve tried and tried, I’d love if you have a tutorial of that one.❤️❤️😊👍
I have a special random free giveaway that includes a crochet design request for Helenmay Crochet Special Donor Members. Here is the direct blog link for details: helenmaycrochet.com/helenmay-crochet-special-donor-member-2020/
I would think that you need the embroidery stich be an even number so that you always have one back and one in front to crochet in to
Hi Mary! That is why it is nice to learn how to make the embroidery stitch. You could make a beautiful crochet kitchen towel topper, whether you ended up with an even or odd number. You can easily correct the number that you want on the next row up. Thank you for commenting. :)
That's true nevrr thought of thought of that .I bought the towels and darning needle today. Going to start tomorrow on them the last thing I ever crochet was a stroller blanket for my baby almost thirty years ago. His wife has gotten me back into it. I can't wait to get started . Thanks for the awesome video's
You are very welcome! Yes, as you know, I love to crochet. You may want to check out crochet Christmas light balls too. I haven't made a video tutorial for them, but I am thinking about it. Some of the crochet group sites on Facebook are sharing pictures of theirs, and they are stunning!. I hope that you have a happy holiday! :)
Love the towels owls do you know you got them??
Hi Claudia! I am sorry but it has been so long since I purchased these kitchen towels. I remember that you could get decorative kitchen towels on Amazon, at Kohls, Walmart, and/or Target. I hope that helps! Happy Crocheting!
Hi thanks for getting back to me ….I got a few so going to start on them thanks
Goal is to do 25 of these sets by christmas .
That is wonderful! I bet that you will have a lot of fun picking out the kitchen towels! People are going to love them! Happy Crocheting!
What size tapestry needle do you recommend that I use?
Hi Rebecca! There are two types of needles: Darning needles and Tapestry needles. Sometimes, I will use the terms interchangeably, but there is a difference. A darning needle usually has a sharp point and large eye, and a tapestry needle is usually short, with a long eye, and blunt end (which sometimes requires a DMC yarn threader). My favorite go-to needle is the darning needle. The one you see in my crochet video tutorials, is actually a darning needle. I use my tapestry needles for when I want to sew buttons, sew through felt, or for when I use beads with yarn. Some people do use tapestry needles with large eyes and blunt ends, but I prefer to use the darning needles with sharp ends (some people say that the sharp ends may split the yarn, but I haven't had that problem). So, my recommendation for you when making these crochet towel toppers, is to use a darning needle. The darning needle has a sharp end for making the embroidery stitch on the towel. They usually sell the needles in a small pack at the craft store with different sizes. I have a small pack of the large eyed darning needles, and I have a small pack of the smaller tapestry needles. I usually have my favorite larger darning needle that I always use, because it makes my work quick and easy (I don't have to use a DMC needle threader. The yarn will slip through the eye easily for burying loose yarn ends). I hope that you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! :)
