More Hooded Towels

I love making these!  Which is a good thing, since a friend commented that she would like to order 4! That is wonderful.  Here are two more towels that I made yesterday and today. I am planning to give away the Teddy Bear towel in this week's giveaway, so look for that on Monday.

Teddy Bear

Frog

I would say these towels are toddler size, the frog one is 28x40 with a hood that is 10x9.5 when flat. The Teddy Bear is even smaller, but it is perfect for a 1 year old!

There are towels that range in sizes from about 30x54 to bath sheets as big as 33x63. For child sized towels, I would use larger towels, to make sure they were long enough so they could wear them out of the bathroom with out mooning anyone :) I think I will also need to increase the hood length for kids as well.

Hooded Towels

I made a hooded towel a while ago for a niece and I decided to make one today for my own daughter. It worked as a good test run to see how it would go, if I want to make these to sell. Here are some pictures of how it turned out, I will take some more later of Aurelia with the towel, but she is napping now.

Most of the tutorials I found on how to make these used a towel and half of a hand towel, but I felt that would be too big for infants and toddlers. I used one towel and cut off 10 inches from the bottom of it, which I used to make the hood. This way I did not have to buy a hand towel and I also made the towel a little smaller, so it will fit little one better.

I used a wide orange ric rac to trim the edges along the hood and the ends
