Child Hooded Towel

1. Each hoodie towel requires 1 big towel and 2 washcloths (washcloths do make it really big. Use hand towel and cut it in half. Much better). You could buy new or use old ones if you have lots of extra towels and washcloths (hand towels).

2. Pin the two washcloths together on 2 adjoining sides (like an “L”).

3. Use your sewing machine to sew the washcloths
together. I did this twice to have extra strength. I used a plain old zig-zag stitch.

4. Take the big towel and determine which side you want as the inside of the towel and lay that face down of the floor.

5. Measure and find the center of the big towel. Mark this with a pin.

6. Take the sewn together washcloths and fold it into a triangle so the 2 sewn sides are in the middle, touching, like below.

7. Use the pin in the middle of your big towel to determine placement and pin the closest side of the washcloths onto the big towel.

8. Carefully sew the washcloth piece onto the big towel, making sure that the outer parts of the hood do not get attached by accident. I also did this twice over for extra strength.

9. Try on your toddler or give as a gift!
