Nosey Cozy Crochet Nose Warmer
Keep Jack Frost from nipping at your nose with an easy crochet nose cover.
Once you have crocheted yourself a hat, scarf, sweater, mittens, and socks, you may think you are prepared for the cold winter weather. But, if you always find yourself with a cold, runny nose through the winter months, your nose will thank you for the Nosey Cozy Crochet Nose Warmer.
It may seem silly, but our noses are one of the only body parts we do not cover on snowy or freezing days. Whether you find yourself shivering while shoveling snow, or can't sleep on winter nights due to the cold, this crochet nose warmer will keep you toasty. Even if you think a crochet nose cover looks ridiculous, you have to admit it would make a great gag gift or funny present for a White Elephant gift exchange.
