Hello crafters,

When I posted my Copying Nature: Talampunay on FB, my high school batchmate a retired teacher pm me, requesting if I could post a  video tutorial of  a Ref Towel on my YouTube Channel, Jurich Vlog, for her to view and copy because she have on hand towels, hook and yarn. She just do not know how to start. 

I did it, later I will upload in my Channel. I told her I will design the ref towel  that is not available on malls or craft store, must be unique so she can also sell it to keep her busy on this pandemic time.

Thankful I have the materials needed because the craft stores where I used to buy yarns and accesories is far from new abode plus the GCQ status Seniors can't leave the house.

Materials used:  face towel, 4ply yarn,  sewing needle and thread, button and crochet hook double ended hook 2.5mm/3mm.

Fold the edge of the face towel or pleats using pins.

Then,   I made the base for the flower.
