Molly's Sketchbook: A Cozy Hooded Baby Towel

 

As soon as we got the new Michael Miller Organic Cotton Terry Cloth I knew I had to make something out of it. It is incredibly soft plus I really love that it's organic. I decided to make a baby towel with a lined hood to really utilize its lush feel.

One of the only other fabrics that can match the Michael Miller Organic Cottons in softness is the Trefle Gauze. I used the cute, gender neutral, "Bee" pattern for the binding and sweet little hood. The two fabric's create a subtle, natural looking palette, perfect for a new baby. Wrap it up with some bath goodies and you'll have a stunning baby shower gift! If you'd like to make one too just follow along with my Cozy Hooded Baby Towel Project Journal. --Molly

i saw that organic cotton at the store and it's amazing looking and feeling for any contemplating this project.
i was daydreaming about what to do with it and this is such a good project for it

So sweet. Thanks for sharing the project and fabric used.

Ooh! Ooh! I'm always on the lookout for good baby projects, but you make me want to try this one in an adult size! I just want to cuddle up in it!

I love the bee fabric that is added to the hood. I have just used terry cloth on my bath towels, but I love that the back has a darling fabric added, and with bee fabric binding. Fun Fun. I will have to try.

Oh, this is cute and so practical. I'm not the greatest sewer but with the help of your tutorial I think I can manage this one. Thanks... your projects are the best!

Aww, the cuteness of it! :)

I left a comment on one of the earlier posts about the knitted beret, asking if I could publish my own, pretty much altered lace version pattern of it (for free and mentioning having gotten the cast-on numbers from you). This is not to harrass you, I'm sure you have loads to do, but in case you hadn't noticed it I thought I'd comment on one of the newer posts. You have my email if you have any questions, and on Ravelry my nick is Lotta if you'd like to contact me there :).

What a cute gift set to give a new mom!

Dear Lotta,
That would be fine. Any time you significantly change a pattern it is your own. Yours sounds like it qualifies! Thank you so much for checking on it, we really appreciate it.

This is such a cute idea! I'm always looking for unique projects for baby showers. But mostly, I am soooo excited to learn about this bias tape maker...I use bias tape all the time and never knew there was such a gadget. Thanks!

This is beautiful. I didn't know I needed to make a baby towel until I saw this - the fabrics look so soft.

I love Michael Miller's fabrics. What an adorable project.
