A Scarf for My Girl who Prefers Boy Stuff

I already made her the cupcake hat, so I figured why not a cupcake scarf to go with it?  She had asked for Bowser & Princess peach, but I didn't think I could make one small enough with those characters. So I made her a cupcake scarf. Yeah, so when I gave it to her she says, "Where's Bowser & Princess Peach?". I nicely told her that I couldn't fit them on there. We'll see whether she wears this scarf or not. She did like the cupcakes, she just REALLY wanted some Mario Bros. characters like her brothers got on theirs.

Hmmm... it was a free pattern, but it seems within the past few days it has changed and is no longer free. :(

With Sprinkles & a Cherry on Top

Continuing with the theme of making things to keep the family warm when we move from this tropical island in December, here is my daughter's winter hat.  I used this pattern as the basis for the hat.  That pattern is for a small doll hat, but I enlarged it to fit a 4 year old.  Also I had to make up my own scalloped edge for the middle of the cupcake.  I tied small knots in different colors of yarn and tied them on to make the sprinkles. I also made the cherry from homespun yarn.  My daughter was unimpressed with the hat until I added the sprinkles and cherry then she was thrilled! :)

Not sure what is going on here with the evil look and crazy karate hands! lol
