Long Convertible Scarf

After seeing the crocodile stitch collar I made, my youngest sister wanted one too!  After looking at photos on etsy.com, she decided she wanted something like an infinity scarf.  She wanted it long and wide so she could wear it down or looped up for added warmth.  She showed me one with buttons that she liked in particular but left the design up to me.  I really hope she likes what I came up with!

One thing is for sure, I really need to make sure I take good, useable photographs before I ship off the finished product!  =)

Chain Loop Scarf

My girls have been asking for scarves for a while now but I've been busy with other projects and, to be frank, I find them rather tedious and boring.  Then I saw this free pattern by Hidden Daisyy and knew I had found the solution!  I made one for each of my daughters in an afternoon.  I think they are super cute, versatile and the pattern is REALLY easy!  This is an ideal project for someone just learning to crochet.  Because I was making them for a 2 year old and 4 year old I used a K hook (instead of an N) for a slightly smaller chain and only made 9 chains.  This scarf can be worn long, more like a necklace, or looped twice for extra warmth.

Accessories and more!

When I need a break from making hats, it's fun to make accessories.  They're the perfect palate cleanser--quick  and satisfying and a great way to stay creative on a small scale!  They have also been a sanity saver for me this holiday season.  I love being able to make something handmade, with love, for people I care about without committing too much time.  After all, I have A LOT of loved ones!  All of these projects took a few hours at most.
