What’s a Blog Hop Again?

If you haven’t heard of a “blog hop” before, it’s an online collaborative event where the host designer writes a blog post with links to all the participant designers. Patrons go to the host blog post to be redirected to the featured designer’s blog post for each day. Then, they can download the daily PDF for free! In less than five minutes a day of “hopping” from the host blog to the designer blog to the designer’s pattern shop, the customer can get a free pattern every day for the month! That’s 30 patterns (in this case 33 since the some days will have two free patterns)!

Look at all the amazing patterns!

My Turning Leaves Hand Towel pattern will be available for free download on September 17, but there are some amazing designs every day this month. If you miss some of the pattern downloads, or don’t want the stress of trying to get the downloads daily, you can purchase the pattern bundle (a $140 value) for only $12.99, and get all 33 patterns instantly!

September 17- Turning Leaves Hand Towel

Spice up your seasonal decor with this hand towel reminiscent of autumn’s changing leaves. A striking yet simple hand towel design that includes three separate leaf motif appliqués means that you can customize this hand towel to get the fall look you want.

I used WeCrochet Dishie in the colors Linen (the main color) as well as Fiesta, Sunbaked, Butterscotch, and Mushroom for the contrast colors. The hand towel itself was approximately 420 yards total, while each leaf embellishment used about 2 yards. You can make as many or as few leaves as you want! A US J/ 6.0 mm hook got me the gauge I wanted for this design.

My hand towel gauge was 15 single crochet stitches by 17 rows worked flat to get 4″ x 4″. The hand towel will measure approximately 26″ long and 12″ wide, with each leaf applique being about 2-3 inches long.
