Crochet Wool Hat

 

My first ever crochet hat. It looked so cool in the photo and originally I was making it for a friend for her birthday. She likes hats, but after it was finished it was not the correct size needed. I am a beginner at this but I am learning that I should have used a larger hook than the pattern called for and maybe the gauge test isn't such a bad idea after all. I am stubborn, but thankful it turned out resembling a hat! :D
