Hanging Dish Towel Pattern

Do you ever feel like you are in a battle with your kitchen towel?

Yes, I know that sounds a little silly. But really, are you constantly picking it up off the floor like I am.

It is frustrating, exhausting and frankly, I'd rather just keep it on the floor the continue to pick it up. Am I right?

This post contains affiliate links to products I recommend. I do make a portion off any you may purchase. See full disclosure here.

That is why I love hanging dish towels.

They stop my battle with the floor towel. They also keep my children from the tearing towel down from every place in my house.

I cannot tell you how many times I get out a new towel in the morning and by the afternoon it is a heap on the floor in one of my children's bedrooms being used as a blanket or full of toothpaste the 2 year old found. (Not that this has ever happened....a lot.)

But really, I swear the baby walks by the oven and dishwasher just to swipe my towel and run.

I can't keep a towel in my kitchen to save my life. Which means I go through way more towels then I want. And when I'm in the middle of my Fall Deep Cleaning I don't need anyone swiping my towels.

But not anymore!! Nope!!

Now that towel is fastened to the oven handle and they could pull for days and it isn't going ANYWHERE!

Which is why I had to share this hanging dish towel pattern. I know I'm not the only one that needs some way to keep their towels in place.

Yes, I know there are other hanging towel patterns out there, but this one is super simple, super fast and you don't even have to add a button, you could do a snap!!

Minimal sewing but maximum results. And you only need some scrap fabric and a dish towel to get started.

This hanging dish towel pattern could change your life! You could make a towel for every holiday. Or make them so they match your kitchen or bathroom.

AND they won't disappear from your kitchen. They also make great gifts, promise. I give them away a lot, especially to Mom's of toddlers.

No ones complained yet. And the best part, this little towel only cost me about 45 cents! Yes, that is right, not even a dollar. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Stitch across the towel topper, closing the opening and stitching the towel in place.
