Good sturdy home made you use it yourself towel holder pattern?

YOung Lady, thank you soooo much for letting me scoop the pattern, and your willingness to go the extra mile to allow us to do this.
Much appreciated, and will add it to my growing list of really nice towel holders I am gathering. Some are great, others no so much, but will need to try them, and see what works for the situation.
Thanks again, and what an act of kindness this was.

Linda, I just printed the pattern from the recipe card format. It printed just fine. All I had to do was click print. Thank you.

Glad that it worked for you.
I'm on the lookout for a format to use all the time on my site for patterns. It is so much easier to create a pattern that way than switching it over to pdf format.

Glad it worked for you Shaddy. And I appreciate the "young lady" I'm retired from education after a lot of wonderful years and just turned 65 on my last birthday.

I know nothing about computer/blog formats, but couldn't you just use the recipe format and call it "patterns."? PS feel free to tell me I don't understand the problem - my daughter tells me that about once a week.

The format belongs to another site where only recipes are stored and I'm not sure if they would approve of using it for something different.
I have removed it from the post now as the person that requested it has printed it out. I'll work on the pdf format later today when I have more time.

Edit: Sunday afternoon. I have been in contact with the creator of the plugin for recipes and have permission to use it for some of my craft patterns. So I have adjusted the pattern to print and added it back to my site.

This is a pattern I modified fro the original so that it could be hung on door/drawer handles as opposed to knobs. I will try to post the original as well, just having some computer/printer/scanner issues at the moment.

Can't post original pattern...copyright laws... Paid $1.99 at Annie's Attic e-patternscentral.com since I seem to have misplaced the magazine I originally got it from. Anyhow the name of the pattern is Towel Tenders. There are two designs...one with a picot edging, one without. I absolutely love this pattern, and have made several which I use all the time. I even made extras so I wouldn't have to wait for the dirty ones to be washed and dried...lol

Someone sent me the original pattern, and that was from an Annie's mag, enjoyed making them, but think they are too long sometimes, so have to revamp for shorter between towel and counter top. I do not hang on the lower area, tall person, need towel up where I can reach it, so top doors are where I use mine. This is a novel, and nice idea to have, appreciate your interest.
Thanks for sending, I am using Peaches and Cream, hoping that will do the deed. Also, using some pony tail holders for the round area in other towel holders, there are so many available out there, just have to try until you find one or 2 that are suitable. Thanks for the info.

Wow, I've never seen towel holders like that. I love them. I may make some for Christmas gifts, too. Thanks, ladies! <3

Hi Shaddy,

You could fold them in half with both openings on the knob, and slip the towel through the resulting loop. My daughter did that with the ones I made her.
