Whether it’s a small dish towel or a mammoth beach towel, the principles for folding it remain the same—think of it as the ‘three-by-three’ method.
You Will Need
- A towel in need of folding
- And a clean, flat surface
Step 1: Lay towel lengthwise
Lay the towel so it is lengthwise in front of you.
It can be faster to fold large towels holding them in front of you, folding them against your chest.
Step 2: Fold left edge
Fold the left edge of the towel just past the center of the towel, lining up the top edges.
Step 3: Fold right edge
Fold the right edge of the towel to the left side. You’ve created a long narrow rectangle one-third the width of the original.
Step 4: Fold top edge
Fold the top edge of the long narrow rectangle down just past the halfway point at the center of the rectangle.
Step 5: Fold bottom edge
Fold the bottom edge up to the top. From the side, the folded towel should have three layers resembling a G-shape.
If the towel is too thick to fold into thirds, simply fold it in half.
Step 6: Hang towel
Either way, your towel is neatly folded and can be easily hung on a towel rack with its vertical folds intact.
Every May 25th, fans of the author Douglas Adams carry around towels to commemorate the author’s strange obsession with them.

I can't believe just how many ways there are to fold towels. I did a step-by-step post on my website which shows a similar method to this, but all hems are tucked away so you don't get any loose ends.

I feel so vindicated! Thanks! I've been told I was doing it ";wrong"; for so long! HA!
