If you’re anything like me and have a mountain of cotton yarn that never seems to shrink, a quick towel or cloth project is the perfect fix. The Bloom Blossom Hand Towel is a makes a gorgeous addition to any bathroom or kitchen!

Not only is it a great stashbuster, but it’s also a fun way to play with colour, try out new stitches, and create something that’s beautiful, useful, and eco-friendly all at once.

Materials & Tools

Yarn:
For this pattern, I used one skein each of Hobbii Friends Cotton 8/8 in Oatmilk (COLOUR ONE) and Candyfloss (COLOUR TWO). When making towels or washcloths, always choose plant-based yarns like cotton, bamboo, or linen, as acrylics and wools aren’t suitable for projects that get wet or need frequent washing.

Hooks & Notions:

3.00 mm and 4.00 mm crochet hooks
Scissors
Yarn needle
Blocking tools (foam mat and pins, blocking board, or similar setup)
Stitches Used:
Slip stitch (sl st), half double crochet (hdc), chain stitch (ch), single crochet (sc).
