His & Her Hand Towels-Wedding Gifts Part 2

Here is the second part of the wedding hand towel gift post. I had issues with doing the mustache for my vision. I first tried a few patterns but, none of them were really quite right. The one I settled on was very large and wide in some areas...I then realized that I might have wanted a thinner version so, I worked up pattern for that as well. Enjoy!
