Kitchen towels with knitted on toppers have been popular for generations. My version is simple and quick to make for last minute gifts.

For holiday gifts, choose a towel with a holiday theme and choose a matching or complementary colored yarn to knit the topper.

You can sew on a purchased button if you prefer, or save time and money by knitting a bobble button from the same or contrasting yarn.

Give towels in sets of two, with or without a bar or bottle of soap, or just give one in a goody-bag or make a set for your own kitchen!
