Multifunctional Hair Ties
A sweet little flower is all your little flower needs to think of you during the day. When I was little, I loved colorful, fun hair ties (and still do). Now you can create your own hair treasures. Try wearing it across your forehead for a chic “boho” look, or even as a choker necklace with a Pinwheel Posy made using that yarn you’ve been saving for something special. Make the ties longer for a trendy belt, or tie them onto your bag or backpack so you can tell it apart from the others. Change them into friendship bracelets or anklets by making them shorter. What a great little project to do on a rainy day. They’re great stash-busters too! Play around with different yarns, from self-striping to funky fibers, to give each one its own look.

I used basic stitches and a simple pattern to create this elegant hat. Top it off with a big, chunky wooden button or crochet a motif in a luxurious yarn. You can also add more rows to the body to make a fabulous slouch hat. This is the perfect addition to a dress-up or a dress-down kind of day.
