Sweet Nothings Crochet: OWL TOWEL HOLDER

OWL TOWEL HOLDER

Owls are among my favourite creatures - so when a client gave me an image of a crochet towel holder and asked if I could make it, obviously I had to plunge into research mode.

I made two of the same - one with bleached jute and another in acrylic.

So as I said I made this using two different yarns - and here's what I created.

Owl Towel Holder - made in bleached jute yarn

Owl Towel Holder - made with acrylic yarn

This was made with bleached jute...... and this one with acrylic

For the acrylic one I used 4-ply Oswal Cashmilon and held 2 yarns together.

I worked both projects with a 4.5 mm crochet hook

This was the image that my client sent me asking me to make this owl basket as a towel holder for her. This pattern is a paid one here on Ravelry.
