Here are a few last-minute gifts I've finished off this week, and now they're all wrapped and nestled under the Christmas tree. Phew. But just in case you're still looking for ideas for things to make for little ones, I thought I'd share these.
I have a tiny and sweet baby newphew named Leo, and I knitted him this rabbit. I first saw these rabbits on Hanna's blog, and I found a similar version of her pattern online, here. The entire rabbit (minus pom-pom tail and ears) is made from a simple knitted square. Which is a good thing, because I'm not such a quick knitter.
The dark brown hat was a gift for our friend Alex, who is currently living in Belgium. And it's really cold there right now, I hear. I used the simple pattern from this book, I think it's called 'Hot Head'.
I'm lucky enough to have quite a few nieces. This year I decided to make them something quite simple- so I sewed up some 'project bags' from colourful fabric and filled them with coloured pencils and chocolate ladybugs. I hope they like them. And Arlo wanted something similar for his best-friend-next-door to keep his marbles in.
Now, I think it might be time for a glass of red wine.
tiny happy
