The Infinity Scarf

This simple Infinity Scarf  is a great way to complete your winter hat ensemble. It goes nicely with any hat in the Head to Toe collection.  
Infinity Scarf - Purple Magenta

Infinity Scarf - Teal Multi


The yarns are so soft that the scarf lies flat underneath your coat. Compact enough to throw in your bag when not using it.


Infinity Scarf - Grey Multi
You can order the Infinity Scarf to match any hat you order from my online shop. Just request it when you order.

Craft Show Update

It was great seeing familiar faces and meeting new customers at the Fall Holiday Shows this season (2015). 

But the weather was warm during every show weekend from October through December, and many customers were shopping exclusively online. So my sales were not as high as they needed to be to be profitable after the expenses (approx. $2,000 cost per show!).


So, I've decided to move my Head to Toe booth online to this blog. 


It actually gives me the opportunity to display hats and scarves in greater detail and on models, so you can clearly see what you're ordering. . . And, you can simply click on the image to go to the item page on my online shop:

  • You can instantly click directly to my Etsy shop ("Accessorama.etsy.com") using the blue box on the right side of this page. 
  • Order crochet patterns from the images on the right side of the page.

As the weather is getting colder, start shopping today for the warm weather accessories you need to stay cozy and fashionable. I'll be adding more color options and items, so sign up in the box on the top right to follow the blog via email or check in regularly.

Thanks so much.

The Muffin Hat

While a beanie is easy to throw on your head and slip into a pocket when not in use--which is why guys love them--it's not a very warm hat. 

Also, most faces look more attractive with some volume around the bottom of the hat--a brim, a peak, a cuff. The Muffin Hat solves both of these problems, providing warmth to the forehead and ears, while flattering the face with volume where it's needed.

New to the Head to Toe Collection in 2015, the Muffin Hat is worked in a double strand of worsted yarns, transitioning from a solid color on top, to a two-color tweed into the crown, and finishing up with a third color mixed with one of the previous colors. The waterfall color effect is sophisticated and engaging.

More Colors for the Roller Hat

Here are some more of the tempting color combinations you can choose for the Roller Hat
















In fact, I once had a customer--in Florida, no less-- who ordered seven(!) Roller Hats, one for each of her winter coats in Connecticut! Just goes to show, you can't be too warm or too fashionable!
