Aspen Crocheted Hat

So I've been feeling crafty lately.... Realizing I haven't actually made anything in quite awhile [though my boss is unhappy that my knitted baby set is unfinished and has been waiting for me to finish the booties for about a month] >__> Anyways, I grabbed a hank of Aspen I bought on clearance about a year ago and whipped out a cute hat in less than an hour. Now I am ready to tackle those.... booties......

Materials:

1 hank Classic Elite Aspen (57 yds.)

super bulky wool/ llama blend

10mm crochet hook

SO HERE IT GOES:

I started with the magic loop method

then 10 double crochet into the loop, and join into first dc with a slip stitch

Round 1: chain 3, dc in same st, then 2 double crochets in each stitch, join [20 stitches]

Round 2: chain 3, dc in same st, *1 dc in next 2 stitches, 2 dc in st* rep to last stitch, 1 dc, join

Rounds 3 & 4: chain 3, dc in each stitch, join

Round 5: chain 4, treble crochet in each stitch, join & fasten off.

Then I wove lace (or ribbon would be cute) through the trebles and tied a bow =]

Easy but adorable
