My mom taught me very basic crocheting stitches when I was a child. So I knew how to make chain, single and slip stitches. The problem then was, however, I didn't know about turing chains or increases/decreases. I tried to make squares and they all came out some sort of quadrilateral. I was puzzled, and then lost interest when I got a pile of quadrilateral pieces that I couldn't find any use for. I wasn't really experimental back then. So it was only when my friend (the same one that showed me how to knit - Goodness bless her!) showed me her crochet works that I appreciated the possibilities of crocheting. She also taught me doubles, half doubles, and the way to increase and decrease stitches. Sooo many possibilities opened all the sudden!I think I made this hat in two evenings. I put a pom-pom on the side. I am very happy with this hat - I still wear it.
