Hat and Scarf for the Neilster

This year for Christmas I am making presents instead of buying them.

For my cousin Neil (he's 13) I am making a Beanie hat (one that has ear flaps and strings) and a scarf.

I am using Lion Brand Wool-Ease in Black and Joann Sensations Casual Boucle in Purple. I will have to double up the purple stuff, it's kinda thin,

For the hat, I am using a pattern I found on the Cider Moon website, Jayne Beanie. For the scarf, I am using a patter I found on Needleworks, the Magical Wizard Scarf. I might change the scarf a bit to match the hat more.

I'll post pictures hopefully over the weekend.
