A dove crosses this ivory towel with a sprig in her beak, in pale blush and traced in fine gold, with PEACE ON EARTH set in small letters below her. The bottom edge is finished with a contrast yarn-dyed band woven in sage and cream stripes. Cotton, 26 by 16 1/2 inches, machine wash cold and line dry. The palette is quiet enough that it can stay up from Advent through the new year, or all year in a bathroom done in neutrals. Mud Pie went calm here rather than bright red and green, which makes it right for the person whose house is soft and pale.
