I still haven't fixed my poor old camera so I can't get a good picture with the towel opened up, but these should at least give you the idea, it measures out to about 32 inches long by 27 inches wide with a 10 inch hood. It's folded up from the bottom to the neck of the teddy bear and the sides wrapped around.
There was some discussion on one of the email groups about the colors and how they hold up with use for dish rags. Here's one I pulled out of the drawer that was hand knit about 5 years ago. It gets used all the time and it's really faded out, but still has color :) I imagine that the softer colored cottons, like light pink or pale pastel type colors would bleach out to beige, I haven't used those yet. As you can see, I don't like to waste yarn, when it's functional stuff for me to use, I use up my scraps. Saves money and works prefectly fine, like my scrap bed blankets too :) See what happens when you have a problem with throwing anything away? I'm sicker than I thought LOL!!!
These are a couple of shots of my Thanksgiving/Fall dish cloths. When I saw the yarn, I thought it was awful, but I actually like it all done up. Here's the link to the pattern
and this is the more ribbed style tuck in the Christmas colors :)

I like your hooded towel. I've seen them with the hood on the corner, and I find them not big enough after only a couple months. But on the top is great!
I wish my dishcloths looked as good as your used one! I think I need to knit more so that I can wash them more often, LOL.
