Hats from Monday, Oct 18th

Today I became inspired to crochet my first hat in the round. I had grown quite fond of seaming up backs for both knit and crochet, but I decided to venture into unknown territory.

This is the "first" completed effort.
I started off with a pattern and then got lost, so it wound up being rather cylindrical...
...and a little snug...

But my second try, this time following the pattern almost the entire way (i cut off the brim and added a round of dc and sc), was much more successful...
