1. Taking the wash cloth, fold it in half with the wrong side on the outside. Sew the top edges together. (See figure 1)

2. Flip the seam you just sewed so that your wash cloth looks like figure 2. Now you have the hood for your hooded towel.

3. Line up the hood with the bath towel and sew with the seam showing on the outside of the towel. You put the seam on the outside of the towel because you don't want the rough seam on the back of baby's neck. Also, since you cover this seam later with ribbon, it won't be an eye sore.

4. Time to attach the ribbon. Flip the hooded towel over to the outside. Cut the ribbon so that you have two strips that go over the sides of the towel and sew them on. Be sure to sew both edges of the ribbon and tuck the ends under so you will have a finished end and it won't ravel. 5. Attach the next ribbon. Use the remainder ribbon and center it over the seam that attaches the hood to the towel. Sew down the middle of the ribbon. (This will cover that ugly seam and leave you a little tie to secure the hood on baby.) Crafty Chic Tip: To make sure the ribbon doesn't fray at the ends, use a match to melt the ends. Be sure not to hold the match too close!

6. Now you're finished. Wrap it up for a gift or wrap your baby up in it for tonight's bath. They'll love it.
