Did you know that you can transform a plain crocheted beanie into something super fun and even costume worthy (in this case) by simply crocheting rows of single crochet onto the surface of the existing hat? In its previous life this purple beanie was a cast off from last year's Purim costume making, and I just came across it as I was searching for some yarn to crochet my five year old a new hat for his costume. Lucky for me, I saved a bit of time with this solution and the results are great. Phew, another thing to cross off my list today, don't feel bad if you're still working on costumes for tomorrow or for Sunday, I'm with you!
And another interesting discovery is that the beanie could even work as a pill box for a small head! And you probably thought of this, but this embellishment technique could work for any knit or crocheted item, just imagine! I think stripes of color are a great way to say hello to Spring. And speaking of hello, I must say goodbye for the day as I've got a huge list of things to accomplish before Sunday. All the best!
