Gray Beanie with Ear Flaps and Baby Doll Beanies

Little Miss E has her own collection of beanies for sure. Of course her baby dolls need beanies too!

She picked out some colors and said "baby! hat! yellow!" So we whipped up a few for them this evening, some from skeins and others with scrap yarn.

Ways to use scrap yarn:

• baby doll beanies
• tie up presents (in place of ribbon)
• wrap around a wood craft stick to use a imaginative colorful sticks for sorting, pretend, etc.
• finger puppets
