GET SET FOR SUMMER:

Kids will have fun making this simple cover-up. Our hooded towel wrap takes about an hour to complete and is great for the
pool, the beach, or the tub!

You Will Need

• One large
bath towel

• Two washcloths

• Thread and pins

NOTE:
You can also make the wrap from 11/2" yards of 45" wide terrycloth. Cut fabric to dimensions of towel and washcloths. Follow directions below and narrow hem all edges.

1. A purchased towel and washcloths eliminate the need for hemming, making this an ultra-easy project for kids. You can use terrycloth yardage if you prefer (See You Will Need, above).

2. To form the hood, pin baste the two washcloths together on two sides, forming an L. Machine stitch approximately 1/2" from edge. Backstitch at ends for reinforcement.

3. Find the center of the long side of the bath towel and mark. With right sides together, align the stitched seam of the hood with the center of the towel and pin baste in place along the edge.

4. Stitch the hood to the towel approximately 1/2" from the edge. Backstitch at the ends for reinforcement.
