One dish towel will make two hanging towels.

You can stitch this hem on a sewing machine if you don't want to bother with it throughout this row
or you can simply hold it in place as you work your foundation row. Using the #7 Steel Hook,
push the hook through the towel just below the fold and work a sc near the edge.
Keep the edge folded as you work evenly spacing a total of 57 sc across the towel edge.
