Abstract: A cover, such as a towel, for covering an article, such as a mat, is described. The cover may comprise a first surface, a second surface disposed opposite of the first surface, and an article attachment means. When the cover may be in use with the article, the first surface may be in removable physical contact with a user and the second surface may be substantially physically contacting the article. The article attachment means may comprise at least one segment of material that may be removably attached over a portion of the second surface to at least one edge of the cover forming a hollow tube or a cavity, wherein either an article terminal end or at least one article corner may removably pass through the hollow tube or be removably held within the cavity such that slippage between the cover and the article are minimized.
