I'm looking for a gift idea for a 1st birthday for a boy. I'm still a beginner though mastered single, double, half double and triple crochet stitches. I made over three dozen scarves and hats using just these.

Can you please suggest an elegant and relatively easy item to make? I have a month so should be enough time. I would rather not make a sweater. Blanket may be too late (isn't it?) since he's already 1.
Thanks for ideas!
