Earflap Beanies

There are so many

adorable

earflap beanies on etsy.

I've been eyeing them for a long time and

waiting for a free second to get out my crochet hook

and give one a try.

But my crocheting skills are well very amateur

and I knew it would probably take me forever and a day to crochet them

so I grabbed some old t shirts from my stash

went to my sewing machine (before it breaking)

and whipped up some cotton beanies instead.

a girly ruffley version for Mackenzie

with some flowers

and braided ties

My husband thinks it looks like a bonnet

but whatever.

And a manly version for Wesley

or an aviator looking hat according to my husband

Lightweight and perfect for an after dinner stroll in Spring.

Tutorial to come...hopefully tomorrow :)
