The Flounce

Here's a fun little accessory to knit up with a couple of skeins of sock yarn.  It's a one size fits all and can be worn as a scarf or as a collar over a plain top.  This is a free pattern!  http://www.craftsy.com/user/539979/pattern-store?_ct=fhevybu-ikrdql-fqjjuhdijehu

Baby Beanies



I have made several little baby hats for my grandson Dorian, however he outgrows them sooooo fast.  The quest then began to come up with a hat pattern that had more flexibility size-wise. I realized if the main part of the hat was ribbed it would fit a greater size range, thus fit for a longer period of time.    I researched sizes of baby and children 's head and came up with sizing for newborn to 3 years old.  This hat is also versatile in the amount of cuff that is folded up or down!  Pattern available now in my ravelry store for $3.00.  It uses just one skein of fingering sock yarn so is also a great stash buster......
