We made another great project with our Knitcrate Yarn Subscription for the month of December.

This is a marvelous idea, 3 handy projects in one: A vintage-inspired hand-warming muff with an inside hidden pocket and a handy icord strap to use as a purse.

Such a great idea and so simple to make!

This yarn is a super unique color and interesting texture. We received it in our Knitcrate yarn subscription box for December. We get special yarn and instructions delivered to us every month.

Fold in half and sew or crochet the 2 thickness shut. 

Make an I cord to go around the neck and as long as you want the muff to be. 

I used a hidden bag inside the muff, and sewed the top sides of the muff,  

   to the bag.

Sew the I cord in place. 

Sew the tops sides of the muff to where the zipper starts and ends.
