Get Hooked! {toddler scarflet}

If you're like me, then you already have all of your Christmas shopping and wrapping done.

If you're not like me, well, you better hurry up!

One thing I love to do at Christmas, is to give handmade gifts. Not only are they inexpensive, but they are unique, and come from the heart.

So, if you still have shopping to do, and dare not brave the crowded isles of Toys R Us, then go no further.
I've got the perfect, 45 minute gift for you!

{The Toddler Scarflet}

Get the link to the FREE pdf pattern HERE.
(Make sure your pdf software is working and up to date, or you might have trouble getting this to open.)



Now, I will admit, it is quite possible that you will love this scarf a little more than your toddler...


But add some fun buttons, or a flower, and they will have fun wearing it.


At least, that is what worked for me.

He was a little skeptical at first, but I sewed on a few car buttons and BAM! - it was an instant hit!


The pattern contains directions for both girl and boy versions.


With cute buttons, or a clip, the scarf will stay in place around their neck and keep them toasty warm.
No need to mess with the long tassel-y scarves that just end up on the ground somewhere, right?


This scarf is made with a V-stitch pattern, which makes it light and breathable, while still warm and cozy.


This pattern fits my 2 1/2 year old perfectly, but if you wanted to make it bigger or smaller, just add or subtract rows from the pattern. No biggie.

That's all for now. Let me know how it goes!

Enjoy!

[My buttons were from HeyDay Handmade on Etsy. I LOVE THEM. I've had them for a while, just waiting for the perfect project. This was it!]
