I had some “yarn research” to do at Hobby Lobby last week, and I discovered a new color of “I Love This Cotton” named Harvest Hues (362) … what an inspiration to ring in fall crafting!
This cotton yarn works perfectly on all “regular” TURTLE hexagon looms, and the Original R was at hand, so I started weaving right away.
As with all variegated yarns, each hexagon will look differently so that you always want to know what the next one will look like. The smooth and soft yarn is therapy to the hands as you work with it. No surprise, the one ball that I bought wove up quickly.
The stack of hexagons started to look like a pile of leaves.
Laying them out randomly, it turned out that 24 hexagons make a great hand towel for kitchen or bath. Just about one ball of yarn!
The towel is worked sideways. Use this chart to randomly layout your “leaves”.
Use mattress or whip stitch to join hexagons into rows.
Use whip stitch to connect the rows with each other.
The finished towel measures about 21″ x 16″ before washing.
Crochet a hanger at the top of the towel as follows:
Are you ready for fall? Happy fall, all y’all and a GIVEAWAY!

Mr Turtle is adorable!
I love the look of this yarn!
I think it looks like a cat toy!
It’s a scrubber!
Love this. Affordable & pretty
Looks like an acorn, Love this yarn!
Love the yarn, looks like an acorn.
Is it a dish scrubber?
Oh… fall style pin cushion?
Love the project, and I think the object is a cat toy…. 😉
I do love the colors of Fall! What a great handtowel!
I would use it as a pin cushion. Fun yarn.
It looks like a scrubbie, with a hand strap.
So gorgeous and inspiring! I think the top left image is the start of an interesting gnome!
I think it is a fall pumpkin or gourd!!
Looks like a pumpkin pin cushion. Fall is my favourite season. Would love to win a skein of this yarn as I can’t get it in Canada and Hobby Lobby does not ship here.
Could it be a dryer ball? The towel is Beautiful!
A stuffed acorn using leftover bits.
It’s a cat toy! (but then again isn’t everything a toy to them…?)
Happy Fall!
Love your hand towel and the fact it was created from one skein. Great instructions on “how to” make the hand towel. I think the item on the left is a scrubby, but like others think it could have many uses…..cat toy, pin cushion, showers loofah….
Love the colors. Nice design. I’d love to use the smaller shaped item as a potpourri satchel.
I sure do love the colors in your hand towel and looks like a couple scrubby’s setting on top of a tortoise.
Love this pattern and yarn. I think it is a soap sack.
I would say a cat toy but along the theme of the hand towel, I’m sure it’s a scrubbie of some kind. Have a great day
This is such a beautiful project. I love the colors- definitely feels like Fall. I think the other project could be a number of things- a.pot scrubber to go along with the towel, a pin cushion, a hacky sack, or a cat toy with bell.
It looks like a scrubbie of some sort.
I think it’s a soap sock, or maybe a sachet. I love the yarn colors!
It reminds me of the scrubby you made last Autumn for the hedge hog scrubby holder you’d purchased. I reckon that one needs replacing by now.
My guess is a catnip ball. Beautiful hand towel!
Thank you for your interest! The giveaway is now closed.
Love this project and can’t wait to get started on it !!
