I crocheted a second towel holder this time making the Magic Circle a little bit bigger and adding a couple more half double crochet stitches in the circle so my thicker terry tea towels will thread through easier.
Instead of crocheting three chains when turning for a new row, I tried a new method of crocheting a faux double crochet on a tutorial I found on YouTube. This neat method seems to eliminate that annoying open space between the chain and first stitch.
Here's the tutorial:
You can see in the photo above the annoying open spaces on the first towel holder on the right.
But there's none on the left one.
Ha ! Ha !
That's all folks!

ReplyDeleteThanlk you for sharing..:))
All best wishes...
Ficou perfeito. Podes tentar também começar com duas correntes para subir ao invés de três, é mais fácil e o resultado também é perfeito. Adorei teu blog. Bjs do Brazil.

I love these towel holders! I've seen them before...but forgot about them, until you showed them. Now as to the video... THANKS FOR POSTING THIS.I've always HATED that ch2 turn/counts as first double!... Not one of my favorite moves.
ReplyDeleteI AM GOING TO TRY THIS!
I guess it only works on a double crochet? I don't know. But I'm definately going to try it.
