While looking through Towel Hanger crochet patterns, I decided on this one because not only does it look simple, but it doesn't call for a hair tie. Hair ties are very hard to keep in my house. Between my 4 year old playing with them, me throwing them from my hair in the middle of the ...
I wanted to crochet while sitting outside... away from my computer. So I grabbed a half of a hand towel, my sharpened 4 MM crochet hook and a few shades of blue Peaches and Creme cotton yarn.
