Easy ZigZag Hand Towel Crochet Pattern
I’ve been getting my Etsy shop organized. Handmade gifts are such a nice option when giving and I love to share my ideas with those of you that would like to create your own.
This week, I created an easy crochet pattern for ZigZag stitch hand towels using cotton yarn. The stitch looks complicated, but you will be surprised how easy it is to create. This is a great project for a beginner in crochet who has mastered the double crochet.
So, want to know how to make the towels?
Easy ZigZag Hand Towel Crochet Pattern
Size H Crochet Hook
4 ply cotton yarn in various colors
Chain 35.
Row 1: sc in second chain from hook, sc across. Turn.
Row 2: ch 2, dc in back loop of first st, dc in the same stitch (V-stitch made). Skip 1, V-stitch in next. Continue across. Join new color. Turn.
Row 3-18: Chain 2. V-stitch in space of V-stitch below. Continue across. Join new color. Turn
Row 19: sc across. Finish off.
Use a tapestry needle to weave in the ends.
Cotton yarn can be found at your local craft store or yarn shop. I highly recommend cotton over acrylic or wool for this project as it is easily washed and absorbs well. Perfect for a face cloth or hand towel!
Want even more gift ideas? Well how about a gift basket? You could pair the hand towels up with hand made soap (you can find some of my soap tutorials here and here) and maybe some wonderful smelling moisturizer.
Crochet up some beautiful ZigZag hand cloths and create your own unique gift baskets. I’m betting someone special will be very happy to receive it.

Thank you so much for sharing great patterns – sometimes we forget how gracious some people can be and how much time they devote to helping others.
Hi Susan. For whatever reason I can’t get the pattern for the zig zag towel. I had my husband try to get it and he is usually pretty good with this type of thing, but even he can’t get it to print out.
Have any idea what we can do? Thanks, Carol~
Hi Debra!
You are very welcome! Would love to see what you come up with!

Thank you for your zig zag pattern. Going to do this one for sure. Very pretty. Thank you.
Hi Tyra!
Thanks for the heads up! I guess I should rename it. I tried it with a ch between the 2 dc, and it wasn’t what I was going for.

I ran into your site by accident and am glad I did. You have some nice ideas and I can’t wait to start a few of them.
I just wanted to give you a heads-up. The “V” stitch is not a true “V” stitch. It is actually 2 dc (double crochet ). It only looks like one because you are placing 2 dc between a set of 2 dc. A true “V” stitch has at least 1 ch (chain) between the 2 dc.
Thank you
Fantastic pattern! I use cotton cloths, either crocheted or knitted, for all of my cleaning, and they do the job pretty darned well! 😀
Cute towel pattern – love the colors, so bright and cheerful. Thanks for the pattern, pinned.
Hi Heather!
Thank you so much! Making Ukrainian eggs is one of my favorite things to do. It is a very relaxing past time.

What a great idea! And gosh, that lotion is fantastic! #client
Thank you so much for the zig zag hand towel pattern! Years ago, I crocheted an afghan using this pattern. Long story short, I lost the pattern and have been searching for it for at least twenty odd years.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!
Suzy, I love your Ukrainian eggs. I did this in Pioneer Girls umpteen years ago (almost 50) and I still have the egg I created. Not as beautiful as yours, but I still love it considering it was my first (and only). I haven’t seen much of this since then. I might have to think about trying it again. Also, thanks for the uber easy crochet pattern. I have so much cotton yarn; great project to use it up on.
