Crochet: Fingerless Gloves, Earwarmers
This winter accessory set is perfect for holiday gifting- since it uses bulky yarn, once you get going you will easily be knocking these out in under an hour! Using just single and double crochets, the waffle stitch texture is ultra squishy to make for a cozy winter. I throw mine on to take the sting out of chilly mornings!

Turn heads at your next bbq with this bright sunburst design inspired by summer fireworks. Make in muted red, white and blue to celebrate a patriotic 4th of July (but keep it subtle enough to wear again) or try a monotone for an ombre look. Perfect last minute project to put your scraps to work!
