I thought that was a 200lb baby 🤣🤣🤣

I'm pretty sure I wrote 200g - not sure whether any babies have been born who are less than half a pound but, the way science is going, it could be a future possibility!

How about a set of egg cosies with tiny pompoms on the top?

I once knitted a snow dog - the one from Raymond Briggs's Snowman story. Can't remember how much yarn it needed.

Christmas wreath. Knit little snowmen and glitter balls and sew onto ribbon. I did this with some little knotted Christmas hats. I knitted little trees, seweda few tiny shiny beads on each and then put them on a ribbon.

If you have an account on Ravelry, you can use the filter to put in weight, and amount of yarn. When I put in DK, and 150-300 yards, there are over 400,000 patterns!

With white, I would maybe do a hat or hot water bottle cover.

If it's cotton you could double it and make dishcloths (ie knit with two strands together). I always thought that making dishcloths would be a waste of time, but I knit them now, and they look so much nicer than bought ones, and last longer too. If it's not cotton (a lot of baby yarn as acrylic) you have fewer options other than baby clothes or toys. Christmas decorations, such as snowmen?

You could make soap bags, knitted or crocheted.
Pop in a nice bar of soap and they would make good small gifts.

The knitted bag with the soap inside acts as a skin exfoliater in the shower.

Socks will only take 100g and then you could do the fingerless
mitts. I'm sure you'd get a free pattern on Ravelry.

Lovely soft fingerless mittens! Think how nice they would be.

I have about 200g of leftover white Baby DK yarn. Any ideas on what to make with it, other than baby stuff? I thought of dishcloths but not sure whether thin DK would be any good for that.
