My 1st Hat

Well my first hat might not have been pretty but I did it.  When looking at a completed crochet hat it looks so much more complicated than it is.  I believe starting the ring and keeping track of what row you are on is the hardest part. 

I picked a really simple pattern for my first hat, Double Crochet Hat Pattern, you can find the pattern here.  I don't think it gets any simpler than this.  I used Red Heart Ltd Eco-Cotton blend.  75% recycled cotton and 25% acrylic.  My mom loved it so much when I was done with it I gifted it to her.  The cool thing is she didn't just put on her shelf, she actually uses it.
