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!😊

My collection of hooks.  Some are old and some are new.  The bag was my Great Aunt Helen's sewing bag.
