When completed, you end up with a cat that looks as though he is sitting with his front legs stretched out in front of him.Ī towel elephant is one of the most popular animals found on cruise lines and at luxury resorts. The ears should be pointing back towards the cone, which is the cat's tail. Then, lay it on top of the first towel towards the middle. Pick up this third towel and tighten up the folds as necessary. Do the same on the other edge so that it meets in the middle.

Start on one side of the towel and begin to roll towards the middle. Then pick up one of the corners and fold inward, creating a triangular shape. This will allow the extra portion to fold back, behind the original fold. Pick up the towel by placing your fingers at both points on the edge, where you just folded it. However, extend the fold about 2/3 of the way over. Take the edge with the flaps and fold towards the middle. Take a third bath towel and fold in half. Position the cone at the end of the towel right above where you folded it under. Position the cone shape with the large end down in between the rolls of the first towel. Pick up both rolls together and check that the hand towel is tightly rolled up. Continue to roll until they come together. Now, you should be rolling the towel towards the other roll. Next, take the unfolded edge and begin to roll it towards the center. Try to keep the roll as tight as possible. Begin to roll the towel into a cone shape, starting at the upper right hand corner and stopping about half of the way down the towel. Position a hand towel in front of you so that the shorter edges are closest to your body. Holding both rolls in your hands, turn the end closest to you under so the bottom third is underneath the rest of the length. Repeat with the other side, making tight rolls. From one of the shorter ends, begin to roll the towel up until you reach the center. To get started, open a large bath towel wide on the floor. You will need one bath towel and two hand towels.
