My first crocheted hat!

So I was a little intimidated to attempt a hat...but with the instruction of YouTube, I did it (link included below)!  The first part is challenging and it took me three tries to get it right.  Once I finished adding stitches, it got a lot easier.  Although I am proud of my hat, I learned how much more fun it is to learn from a friend (like I've done for all my previous items) than from "Crochet Geek" on YouTube.  Once I got it right, it took about two hours of total work.  It was one of my Valentine's Day gifts to Wes, but I just couldn't wait to give it to him!  I used at 6.5mm crochet hook.
