I have a little great-niece who will be 4 this month. What to give her for a present? I do NOT do "junk" presents ... always try to do something educational or meaningful & try to do handmade if I can. When she was 2, I made her an "egg apron" - she loved it and still uses it. Last summer, she and her mom had a zinnia garden - they had lots of butterflies and took pictures of all the different ones. She loves flowers. I found this sweet little necklace to make for her (I'll size it down), plus I'm giving her some fancy, colored egg cartons I found, She has a little egg enterprise - accepts donations for a dozen eggs & currently has a waiting list since eggs are scarce in the stores. The colored cartons can be used for crafts or for giving eggs to special people.

So here are the patterns ... flower necklace & the egg apron.

An Egg-cellent Apron: Free Crochet Pattern

Note: there is a link to a child-sized apron on the above link & that is the one I made. I “did my own thing” on the waist band to make it sturdier & I was happy with the results.

Note: if you “right click” on the picture in the post (like the egg apron), it expands to a larger, more detailed view.

That apron would be handy for so many things, especially while we’re all on Lock Down and have been essentially sent to our rooms!

Vitamins, hand sanitizer, pump foaming soap, TV remote, extra roll of TP, a chocolate bar, mini wine bottles, etc. ;)
