Embellish plain towels with crochet borders

With little effort, if you like to work by hand, you can make simple towels to very beautiful eye-catchers: by embellishing them with Häkelborten.

Some years ago I worked a lot and crocheted curtains, doilies, tablecloths and trims.

At some point, crochet work was no longer appropriate for my style of living, which changed a lot over the years and I went to sew.


Nevertheless, I like crochet borders on towels and guest towels very much, because it enhances them in my opinion, strong and is an eye-catcher in the bathroom and guest bathroom.

Corresponding crochet patterns can be found numerous on the Internet, experienced manual workers do this according to their own designs.

If I renew the towels after some time, of course, I cut off the borders and sew them to a new towel.


It also looks very attractive, not to sew the border to the edge, but to cut through the towel in the lower third, insert the border and put the rest of the towel back.

But I only did that with guest towels; I was not sure if it interfered with the drying after showering. For hands, it was fine.

Such towels - also color matched to the bathroom - are always a gift that certainly arrives well (you know, who is happy about something ...)
