| You need a towel, hand towel and ribbon about 18" long. |
 |
| For the hood, cut the hand towel in half. |
 |
| Sew the ribbon across the smooth part of the towel. |
 |
| Make sure to sew down the sides too. |
 |
| Fold over and sew top edge. Depending on the towel...I stitched two lines on the fold. |
 |
| This is what it looks like on the front. |
 |
| Fold towel in half and cut an arc out of the corner. |
 |
| Turn inside out and stitch along the edge just cut. I stitched twice to reinforce it. |
 |
| This is what it looks like turned right side out. |
 | ||||||
| The top edge here in the picture is what gets sewed to the towel. |
 |
| Find the center of the long edge of the towel. |
 |
| Pin the center of the hood to the center of the towel edge. |
 |
| Make two pleats on each side of the pinned center. |
 |
| Pin the pleats and the edges two the towel. Then sew on. I sew twice to reinforce it and make sure to back stitch on the edges. |
|
| As you can see when doing it this way with a hand towel instead of a wash rag, gives you a nice big hood. My 12 year old still wears her yellow hooded towel from when she was a baby! |
 |
| This is my 9 year old. The hood fits very nice on her cute little head. |

I have made several of your hooded towels over the years, for my grandchildren and as gifts. Any suggestions what I can do with the 2nd half of the hand towel?
Thanks
