Did you happen to check out my Initial Washcloth Pattern that was posted a few weeks ago?? It was a cute simple pattern using a graph to make the initial! It could be used as a wash cloth or a hot pad. So, here is the matching Hand Towel Crochet Pattern!

Never used a graph crochet pattern before? No worries…here is a post of how to follow a graph pattern! Please read the pattern notes before attempting the pattern. The graphs were made for the Washcloth Pattern and will need to have 5 extra stitches added to each side for the Hand Towel.

Material Needed

• I 5.5mm crochet hook
• 2 skeins of Lily Sugar N Cream in contrasting colors
• Scissors
• Tapestry Needle
• Bobbins or Clips (at least 3)
• 1 ¾” button

Gauge

• 4″ Square – 14 stitches x 15 rows

Stitches Used

• ch – chain
• sc – single crochet
• join – slip stitch to first stitch

Pattern Notes

• See here how to follow a graph pattern
• Use bobbins to help with changing colors, described in the post link above
• Use graph below to make initial of choice. Each graph is 30 st wide by 30 rows, which was made for the Initial Washcloth Pattern. Add 5 extra stitches of the main color to each side of the graph to equal the 40 st across that the pattern calls for.
• Graph is made with sc stitches, each square is 1 sc.
