Crochet: Animal Toy
This is a tiny crochet cat shaped toy, semi inspired by Beans the Cat by Linda Dawkins, but in crochet, and much smaller. Itty bitty kitty is great for using up tiny amounts of sock and fingering yarn, and even yarn ties.
Knitting: Mittens
My kid was/is a huge toddler. I made him some basic wooly mittens just so that he would have something that fit.
