Crocheted Fashion Beanie

Ok I'm totally a beginner crochet person so naturally I'm proud of pretty much everything I finish. I made this adult size cap and then I made two smaller ones for newborn to three months but I can't post them yet since they're going to be gifts ;)

Don't ask how I made them...I couldn't tell ya.

Toddler/Baby Tie From a Men's Tie

Make a tie for your baby or toddler using a men's tie! It's simple and takes about 30 minutes!

What you will need:

-One men's tie

-Scissors

-Needle and thread

-Elastic

1. Tie a single windsor knot it your tie using the skinny end of the tie as the front. For you ladies who can never remember how to do it, I found a useful step by step image here.

2. Cut the loop down the center. Cut it down so there are only a couple of inches on each side.

3. Put a few stitches in the back of the knot.

4. Cut off the big fat part of the tie. You won't be needing that part.

5. Stitch on some elastic so the tie can slip over your little one's head.

Reversible Baby Carseat Cover

I have been wanting one of these forever ....now my little boy it too big! It's ok though, there's plenty of time for more kids ;)

Anyways, I just made this up as I went along so I don't really have a tutorial for it. The one thing I would have changed is the straps that hook to the carseat handle. I made them a bit too long but I might be able to fix it still.

 And it's reversible so both sides have a sweet little pattern...

It was pretty easy to make, just kinda time consuming. You could totally do this!!!
