| 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. |

Great job! hooded towels were my favourite gift and also a favourite gift to give. I have that exact ribbon and what a great use for it.
Thanks for sharing this. I am a beginning sewer and this was very easy to follow. The pictures are great. I needed them.
Thanks for this tutorial. It was very easy to understand and your pictures were very helpful. :)
Perfect! My 3YO has a hooded towel and his little brother is getting too big for the baby towels, this is on my to-do list. Found you on Pinterest, thank you for sharing!
Hi, I have some questions please. I want to make this although I have never sewn before. This tutorial is the easiest I have seen to follow with the photos of the end product that look so professional.
Do u have any specific measurements to get the shape of the hood that u cut out?
I have some microfiber towels that don't have a harsh edge. Would it affect the design or end product to skip the fold over and sewing the end of the towel?
Thanks for ur tutorial and any help u can offer
