If you’re like me, you’ve got a bunch of little balls or twists of yarn left over from other projects. Some of them are even too small to justify the name ‘odd ball’. You can’t bear to throw them away. You’re sure they’re good for something. And they are! You can use them to make tiny flowers or other embellishments.

This girlie little baby hat is a celebration of femininity that keeps the sun off of bald little baby heads. The flowers can be made with any old scraps of brightly colored (washable) yarn – you only need a couple of yards to make one flower –different weights of yarn will result in different sizes of flowers. Make all the flowers the same, or make them all different. Do whatever your heart (and stash) desires. The 2 row pattern of first slipping stitches, then cabling them as you change from the green to the white creates a grassy effect.
