Keeping the little ones warm is top priority in the cold months but they don’t want to have anything to do with all that bundling up. Here’s a shortcut to keeping the cold air off little heads and necks. Put it on like a hood, give it a quick wrap and pull on a coat over top. You’ve got a hat they can’t lose and a scarf that the cold can’t find its way around.

Price: $4.00 Designed by Marie of Marie Grace Designs. Marie Grace, a home-schooling mom of 4, spends most of her time surrounded by her family, books, and yarn balls. She learned to crochet when she was very young but didn’t start knitting until she had kids of her own. Nobody warned her that the desire to knit up a few baby sweaters could quite possibly turn into a full blown obsession with fiber. Years later she’s still knitting and now designing. Kids-wear and natural fibers are still her favorites and her designs reflect a classic calm that is totally absent from her real life.
