Crochet and Fur Toddler Fashions

Charlie in his little Candy-Cane-Bear coat

With Fall almost here, I decided to make my son a little scarf and some arm warmers to match his little "Candy-Cane" Bear-Eared Coat that I bought him. I also want them to match the little black hat that I made him last year:
I crocheted the base of the hat with a super soft delicate wool/cashmere/silk blend yarn accented with some soft nylon faux fur yarn. And, because I like to go for walks, even when it's very cold outside, I attached long double layered "ears" made of black rabbit fur. 

I have yet to start the little arm warmers, but the scarf is almost complete. It started out as just white, black, and red stripes, but I decided to add some light blue to avoid it looking little Toddler Nazi-Wear lol. I combined a novelty eyelash yarn with more durable yarns, including a wool-cashmere-silk blend, cotton-acrylic blend, and soft acrylic baby yarn blended with tencel.
