         10 . The wearable towel of  claim 1 , further comprising a hook and loop fastener,
 wherein the hook and loop fastener holds the wearable towel together when attached,   and wherein the hook and loop fastener may be joined to prevent the towel from unfolding when folded.   
     
     
         11 . The wearable towel of  claim 3 , wherein the tapering is provided by stitching selected from the group consisting of width-wise stitching, double width-wise stitching, V-cut stitching, zig-zag stitching, diagonal stitching, double diagonal stitching, length-wise stitching, double length-wise stitching, and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         12 . The wearable towel of  claim 2 , further comprising a zipper, the zipper moving length-wise on the towel. 
     
     
         13 . The wearable towel of  claim 1 , further comprising means for affixing a belt, wherein the means for affixing a belt comprise holes, loops, or and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         14 . The wearable towel of  claim 1 , wherein the tapering is provided by length-wise stitching of the towel, wherein the length-wise stitching is approximately along the same axial line as the head opening. 
     
     
         15 . A method of creating a wearable towel, the method comprising:
 cutting a towel in a plurality of sections;   reconnecting the cut towel along cut lines of the plurality of sections, wherein the reconnection of the towel gives the wearable towel a tapered look when worn, and wherein a centrally disposed opening is formed to allow passage of a head.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein reconnecting comprises stitching. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein reconnecting comprises a zipper. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising cutting the towel widthwise. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 16 , further comprising cutting the towel lengthwise.
