When I was a little girl my grandma showed me how to crochet. Let me correct myself, she showed me how to make a crochet chain. I was good at making a chain! I didn't use the right techniques but it didn't matter, I was 7 and I thought I could crochet!
When I was pregnant I wanted to learn how to crochet "for real" and make things for my baby. I tried to make a bear beanie for the baby to match bear booties I had bought him from FiveSisterz. I started the hat and my husband and brother-in-law told me that it didn't look right and that I was probably reading the pattern wrong so I stopped making the hat and I was going to attend a crochet class (which never happened). I'm sure you're wondering why I listened to two guys...I dunno myself...they sounded convincing and they learned a little crochet when they were in school in Germany. Actually my husband is better at making crochet chains than I am, go figure! Ok, so on to the story...
I'm trying to crochet again and I want to make this:
