Ditch a boring hand towel and keep those hands happy with this crochet hand towel pattern!

This lovely hand towel was designed to have both large sections of drying space as well as strips of puff stitches for a gentle massage. The stitch work creates both visual and touchable interest. Using a soft cotton yarn ensures this crochet hand towel feels great to use from the start and brings in the “treat yourself” feeling.

This hand towel pattern works up in rows, with the exception of the border which is worked in one round. The puff stitches are separated by chain spaces to maximize drying ability.

★SKILL LEVEL:
Advanced Beginner - A good majority of this pattern uses single and double crochets to create the solid texture. However, you will need to also utilize stitch skills such as: creating puff stitches, working in the 3rd loop of half double crochet, creating chain spaces, and skipping stitches.

There are pictures to help you through the stitches and the rows in the PDF.
