when my grandma sat down and taught me how to crochet i knew that the first thing i wanted to learn how to make was a beanie. i didn't think it would be difficult. i figured that once you knew the basic stitches the rest would be easy, or so i thought. in all honesty it is pretty easy to make a simple beanie, if you know how to work in rounds, count stitches and decrease and increase stitches and all that fun stuff. of course i am a beginner and none of those words really meant anything too me. yes, i know how to start a chain, i know how to single stitch and i know how to double stitch...that's about it. but i was determined. after learning the basics from my grandma i decided to teach myself the rest...and so i did! i practiced and practiced and restitched and restitched many hats and then....i finally figured it out! i made my first beanie, it's actually for my daughter not for myself, but i take great pride in that first beanie! and it's the first of many,many, many beanies and hats. from learning how to make that one simple beanie, a world of adorable beanies and hats opened up right before my crochet hook!
