I guess I am in a crocheting mood lately. I get that way sometimes, I go months and months without picking up a crochet hook and then all of a sudden, I really can't get enough! My grandkids were looking online with me at winter hats. Each had a definite idea of what they thought they wanted and definite colors as well. This is a result of their choices. Both went up really quick :) TFL

This hat was made from a pattern that I got somewhere about three years ago but there is a very similar pattern that can be found here: http://lacycrochet.blogspot.com/2013/05/lacy-stitch-newborn-hat-free-crochet.html
What the hats look like by themselves :)
