From me  you at Christmas.

TUNISIAN CROCHET NECK WRAP.  IT CAN BE WORN SO MANY WAYS!  LOOKS NICE WITH TEE OR TURTLE NECK SHIRT.

Scrubby cloth/use yarns shown and make it as big as you want!

2016---HATS, SCARF, NECK WRAPS, WASHCLOTH, TOTE BAGS--
THERE IS STILL LOTS OF TIME LEFT TO MAKE SOME FOR OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD SHOEBOXES!

Full disclosure; most of these hats were loom knitted, however you can crochet similar ones.  I did crochet pom pom flowers to sew on some of these.  I also crochet around the brim on some.

IDEAS FOR SHOEBOXES:

A single strand of crochet for a NECKLACE, POUCH (can be attached to necklace) using the 2 colors tied together.

SCARF/HALF DOUBLE CROCHET, USING 2 COLORS TIED TOGETHER.

SOAP HOLDER (make a square a bit bigger than bar of soap, sew together the sides with yarn needle), wash cloth/half double crochet.

Pond/ Take time to relax in between your projects.  Nature can relax and inspire us!

Crochet or knit some hats.  A scarf is another easy project to make for a gift.    I will work on Christmas gifts all summer!😊

Welcome 2016/Am I the only one who has several projects started, just as the new year began?!
The hat shown here is finished.  Only the bottom brim is crochet.  I often combine crochet with loom knit.  May I encourage you to consider donating a few items to your local church ministry, homeless shelter, or nursing home?   May God bless you during this new year!😇
