Pattern Instructions

Starting the Base

Foundation Ring: Start with the blue yarn. Make 6 chains and connect them into a circle with a slip stitch.

Round 1: Chain 2 (counts as your first double crochet), then make 11 double crochets into the ring. Close the round with a slip stitch in the top of the initial chain-2. You'll have 12 double crochets in total.

Building the Pattern

Round 2:

Chain 3 (counts as a double crochet). Make a double crochet in the same place as the chain. Chain 1, then make 2 double crochets in the next stitch.

*Continue this pattern (2 double crochets in the same stitch, chain 1) around the ring. Finish with a slip stitch into the first chain of the round.

Color Change to White

Start by attaching the white yarn between any two stitches. Chain 2, then work two double crochets into the same space. Chain 1, then work three double crochets between the next two stitches.

Continue with 3 double crochets, chain 1 in each space around. Slip stitch into the first chain to close the round.

Expanding the Pattern

Subsequent Rounds: With each new round, you'll increase the number of double crochets in each section to create a fan pattern. Follow the pattern of increasing double crochets in each segment by one as you progress each round.

Continue switching colors after each complete round if desired; this adds to the aesthetic appeal.

Attaching the Ring

Final Round with Ring: Choose a new color (blue recommended for visibility) and fold the ring into your working space. Start by attaching the yarn to the ring with a slip stitch, then work single crochets around the ring to cover it completely in yarn. This not only secures the ring but also aesthetically integrates it with the craftsmanship of the towel holder.

Attach the crocheted piece to the ring securely, distributing stitches evenly for balance.

Creating the Hanger

Hanger: Start from the top of the towel holder, directly opposite where the ring is attached. Chain 10 (or desired length for the hanger), then attach this chain back onto the main body with a slip stitch to create a loop.

Secure and fasten off your work, weaving in all remaining ends with your needle.
