Hooded Towel

This is a hooded towel I made when my nephew Casey was born back in June... I also made one for my friend Laura's son Liam back in March (or was it April?!), but I totally forgot to take a picture of it! The 'L' was definitely much easier to applique on than the 'C'! Less curves and all! I used to crochet baby afghans for my friends and family's babies.. but with the kids, I just don't have time for that! I'm totally into quick and easy projects these days!

If you'd like to make a hooded towel too, follow this tutorial for hooded towels! There are tons out there, but I liked the monogramming. I ended up just cutting off part of the bottom of the big towel and using that to cut my triangle for the hood. But if you want to use a contrasting color you'll need the hand towel. You'll probably still want to cut off part of the big towel otherwise it's very large, and too long on one side! I ended up making my own binding so that it would match the baby's initial. But that makes the project take much longer.. if you are in a rush definitely use the pre-packaged stuff!

Are you pregnant? Because if you are one of these might be coming to you!! As soon as I learn the name that is!
