New Fridge Handle Cover

Hoping the improve on my previous fridge handle cover, I made a new one. This one is secured in ties instead of the buttons which were on the last one. This prevents the cover from sliding down the handle.

It was a quick a simple project. First I crocheted a background piece to go around the handle, in dark green. Then I made some crochet roses ( There are many free patterns out there) and sewed then onto the background. Then I made a few leaves in different shades of green and incorporated them along the length of a chain stem. This stem serves to tie up the cover with very nice results.

A Little Fun Project!

OK, I feel a little silly posting this, especially after my last project!

Recently, when I cleaned my refrigerator, I noticed the fridge handles were the most used parts and took quite a while to clean. So, my knit/crochet obsessed mind instantly came up with a solution, LOL. Here I present a fridge handle cover which took about a hour to crochet, using worsted cotton scraps.

I would have gone for some brighter, more appropriate colors but did not want to use up new balls for something that might not turn out so well. I don't know how practical this is, but will soon find out.
