I love this yarn - it is worsted weight and looks like sock yarn. The blues have a hand-painted look and is my favorite colorway.
The hat is head-hugger style and long enough to cuff. The scarf is knit vertically in garter stitch.

Linda's Cuffed Earflap Knit Hat and Crocheted Scarf
This set is pretty simple and took about a day to complete, start to finish, probably because I cheated and crocheted the scarf.
The hat is a simple 2x2 rib, long enough for a cuff, and I stopped with a lot of stitches to give more fullness in the top and did not require dpns. I knit the two earflaps in moss stitch first, then when once I got to the row where I wanted to add the earflaps, I just knit/purled the earflap stitches together with the hat stitches. I finished the hat with two braided ties and a large pom.
The scarf is long and was done with a sc, ch-1 repeat across, with the next row of sc going in the ch-1 spaces. Very simple and fast and looks great in this awesome varigated yarn.

Linda's Diagonal Striped Baby Blanket
As baby blankets go, this was pretty fast and very easy. It starts with a ch-3 circle, and increases one stitch on each end every row, with a ch-3 loop to the next row. Once the blanket is half the desired size, decrease one stitch on each end every row with a ch-2 loop to the next row. I finished it with a single-crochet border.
Some of this yarn was graciously donated to the cause via the Yarn Shop in Overland Park, and I got a bit more of the same yarn at Micheals.
