I found this cute hat on YouTube and I had to make it.
I first used this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LiHzPsuWS0. After crocheting almost half of it I
noticed it was way too small for my youngest daughter. As you know...I'm just a
beginner...so it took me a while to notice it. So I had to unravel almost all of it
and start over. I kept added more stiches to it. I kept measuring my daughters head
until I got the size I liked. After I finished the hat I wanted to add some ear
flaps. And I noticed there's another video out there teaching people how to
make it with the flaps - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-Yxf0QiQco. It also teaches you how to increase the size of the hat. I wished I
had seen that video first...that way I wouldn't had wasted all that time
crocheting all those rolls and having to unravel it. Oh well...
Well here's the two links I used below. I think it was a
great experience for me. And I think the hat looked great. I added two tone
braids too. I think it's just too cute. I had actually gotten many complements
when my daughter had worn it out. Thanks Crochet Geek for providing these
wonderful YouTube videos.

If you plan to make a hat for an
older child or for an adult you might want to skip the first link and use the
second.
Anyone else out
there had made this hat? How was it? Easy? Please let me know your experiences.
And let me know what other good projects are out that I should try making too.
