Wild hair: (optional) Thread a yarn needle with worsted weight yarn. Make 3 or 4 large loops and then cut loops, tie using a square knot, trim to the length you would like it and separate strands to fluff them up

Wow...you stay so busy! I may have more fabric for you soon if you can use it. I've been making a lot of stuff for the grands.
ReplyDeletethese are so cute
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this pattern. I don't like giving candy for Halloween, so I'm making a bunch of these to give to the little ones in costumes. I have tons of specialty yarn that I can play with and make them all look a little differently.
ReplyDeleteI love these! I am going to try it as I teach dramatic play classes to preschoolers! Just pinned to my scavenger hunt on pinterest - expect lots of new traffic this week :-)
