edge)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mark the center<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sew a straight line across the top for gathering<br><strong>OR<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a crochet hook to insert stitches directly into the fabric<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Tip: If the fabric is thick, pre-poke small holes using a needle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83e\uddf5 Step 2: Attach Yarn to Towel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Insert hook through the towel edge<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pull yarn through and chain 1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work <strong>single crochet stitches evenly across the top<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This forms the base for your crochet section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83e\uddfa Step 3: Build the Towel Top<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now

1, turn<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Row 2\u20136:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Repeat single crochet rows<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gradually <strong>decrease

3:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fasten off and sew onto the towel front<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This creates a snug pocket for the lighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator

15\u201320<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slip stitch back to base<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>This creates a loop to slide the lighter through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator
