Crochet Door Draft Dodger
This past week I’ve been sick in bed so I’ve been spending a lot of time hooking. I was looking at my door with a towel on the floor to block the draft and thought, Hey! I could easily crochet a Crochet Door Draft Dodger. I posted a picture around of the piece I made and there were a few people who asked how I made it.
I’ll share how to make your own Crochet Door Draft Dodger. They are super simple to hook up, it’s worked all as one piece so there is no stuffing required and can be thrown in the wash with your towels.

I’m not sure exactly what you mean, there’s a quick video tutorial on YouTube that shows how I worked it up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDy9rsrd8J8

I love mine although I think I would make the 2nd side as big as the first side if I was to make it again.

Hook size? Different in video from written pattern

I used the bigger hook K so it would work up faster
