| You have the toes covered, so now it’s time to cover those chilly hands, necks and heads! Give the gift of warmth this holiday season! |  |

Neckerchief Jean’s baby/toddler Neckerchief Tutorial will help keep little necks warm. They’re fashionable, and neckerchiefs are also great for teething babies! Enjoy Jean’s great creativity via her Flickr site. |

Mittens I guess I’ve been worried about keeping my little guy warm! After the scarf tutorial (above) it was only natural to do an easy, fabric Mitten Tutorial. You can find it (with lots of fun variations) on my personal blog, Write, Mama. Write. |

I love the no sew scarf. It will make a perfect gift.
this is getting crazy. i have to make the hat, scarf and mittens. and yes, they will match! i’m thinking recycled sweater outers on the hat/mittens with cotton lining and opposite for the scarf. oh me oh my!
Okay…those mittens…and that tutorial…are FABULOUS!!
Cute hat, i’ll have to make a couple for girlfriends. Thanks for the great tutorials as always.
Thank you so much for this great set of ideas! I stumbled across it and have now found a favorite new site–yours!! The hat today is just perfect for my sister….the only problem is I’ve found a ton of things that are just perfect for her. Now where to start…. Thanks!!!
I wish I was snuggling up in those right now.

I never thought of neckerchiefs. What a great idea!

That hat is great! I love a hat almost as much as a bag… but a matching bag and hat is even better! Can I make a holiday gift for myself?
I love those mittens! They’re adorable and your tutorial is so easy to follow – thanks so much!
I’ve always wanted to make something with jersey. I may have to try it.
Those mittens remind me of some I made when my boys were little. I had forgotten about that.
I’m definitely making the mittens. Perfect for little ones that constantly lose things.
The mittens are wonderful!
LOVING THAT HAT!!! BTW I just made a rice filled heat pack…love it too!
That jersey scarf looks so elegant! And the mittens have been added to my freakishly long to-do list.
Love the idea of being able to make Ava some little mittens without knitting!
The mittens are just so stinking cute!
Ooooh, warmth — my hands were very cold when I walked my pooch yesterday, so will have to give the mittens a go, and I think that patchwork scarves are going to be the ticket for me this year too — Thank you!!
Eeek! I’m supposed to be doing Christmas sewing, but I need a hat and scarf for myself!!!!
OO I love the cap! I was looking for something just like it
Thank you for the patchwork scarf tutorial – very neat!

I love the patchwork scarf! And the jersey one!
I love the patchwork skarves! Those are so cute. I may have to do some for the kids for Christmas. I like the idea of putting pockets in the ends for those things the kids like to carry around with them.
Love the patchwork scarf!
I have been wanting to try the toddler scarf for some time, its on my “to do” list! All the ideas presented are fantastic!
I love these little gifts. We live in Southern California so we don’t have too much need to mittens and scarves but we are traveling for Christmas. I have looked everywhere for cute mittens for my 2 year old but nothing seems quite right. Now I can just make her some to match her little Christmas outfits! Thanks!
these are so cute! perfect for all my cousins!
These are absolutely adorable! make me wish i lived in a climate where my kids actually need cold weather things!
I feel warm just looking at these items. Can’t wait to whip some up!
