Fancy that, Annie made a hat!

I found a hat pattern.
First time I started with the 19 stitches, and it was not long enough for me.
I undid it, and re-started with 25. Not too many, just enough to add a little extra length.
The pattern was super easy to follow, once I got passed the "how will this work" moment. Staring at the pattern, it did not make sense in my brain, but once it was on the hook, it was definately easy to visualize.
I would say this hat took about 3-4 hours. The skills needed were just basic.
I always forget what a HDC (half double crochet) is, but Google and I re-unite.

My brother wanted a dark hat for Christmas, but he is getting this one. It's made a little longer so he can have a fold down/up brim to keep his ears warm. It's got some dark colours. Plus, its made with bulky yarn so it's super warm.

I dont wear hats myself, but I was considering making myself a pink and white one.

*quick, should be getting ready for work*

Using the pattern from Crochet Me that a friend of mine found (and made some awesome hats), I decided to try to make my own for myself. So far, it's a failure.
I either crochet too tightly, or am using the wrong yarn -RedHeart I forget the number. My hook is only a six when it should be a 5.5.
As you can see, its TEEEENY!
I called a friend with a little girl today and was like "how big is her head? Ok..she gets a hat."
I hope to have it finshed by -if not before- next Friday. I have no life, and dont work at all tomorrow...so probably will be done tomorrow.
