Crochet Crazy Fun Hat Yarn Make Over Free Idea By Niftynnifer


 







My 5 year old daughter asked me for a ''Yarn Make Over''.....and this is what we came up with...










Free Crochet Pattern ~Half Double Crochet Beanie



Hat in picture is Size 3 Months



Here is my pattern for hdc beanies..Sizes Newborn to Adults with measurements! Enjoy














Yarn Peg Board For Braided Ties And So Much More




After watching me struggle many times to get the right lengths of hair for hats and braided ties...
Look what my husband, Shawn made me!


The pegs are all removable. The first one gets lifted, the yarn end goes in the hole, and replace the peg to hold it in place.


Wrap the yarn repeatedly around the length you want. I still have to add the lengths to the peg board. This length is at 16 inchs.


Cut all the yarn at one end in the same location.!



Remove from board. Tah Dah! They are all the same length!

Now all I need is a hole in the back of the board...For easy hanging and storage when not in use....
