Indeed, a cozy phone case does really well with an owl theme. Thus here is another one with a button enclosure. However, this one aims for a real bird of prey look, and in black it will be perfect for Halloween. Hoo hoo!

Of course, a cozy phone case can also be sooooo cute. To wit, this adorable owl keeps your cell phone safe due to its thick sides and secure closure. Best of all, it would work really well if you set your ringer to owl hoots.

Next, this cozy phone case is a delightfully challenging pattern requiring basic tapestry crochet skills. However, as the pattern is generally simple and small, and will thus be a great opportunity and motivation to dive into tapestry.

To begin with, the first cozy phone case is a traditional envelope that's been turned on its edge, so that the flap is on the shorter side. In general, the case is made using two granny squares turned 45 degrees and stitched together, and the squares can't bee thick or too stiff to bend tightly. Beyond that, the sky's the limit in terms of creativity. Other closures, different than the button and loop pictured, are also possible.

However, you can also be a little fancier with an everyday baby and toddler cardigan. Thus you can make one such as the Maisie Hooded Cardigan, with its frilly edge and button closures.

However, if texture is what you really desire in a rectangle scarf, then this Celtic ropework-inspired pattern will be yopur thing. Overall, the twin lines of braided ropes give it a great depth of character. Indeed, the very strong texture will be a great accent for a plain black overcoat or heavy blazer. That said, it would also work very well with a smooth sweater.

Next, here are some newborn or baby mitts that are super soft, cuddly and cozy. On account of the simple stitches, this is a particularly beginner-friendly pattern, as well as a great introduction to velvet yarns.

So, thus starts our journey anong cute and cozy newborn or baby mitts. Your little one will love them, they make a quick and easy project and, as mentioned, they are also lovely for a gift idea. In particular, I love the little bow drawstring.

Next, we have some simple mittens for children. Indeed, these are worked in single crochet only making this probably the easiest mitten pattern. Although simple, these are by no means boring. Indeed, they'll be perfect for a pre-teen who is too ‘adult' for kittens and unicorns.
