Saints Beanie

well I just finished my dad Saints beanie! the catch is that I made the fleur de lis TOO big. I'm going to keep in mind next time to make something not too big or not too small. LOL. Also I made this pattern, and I went to ehow.com and a a user named Jessica had shown how to make a crochet pattern. All I did was just get any image I wanted and cut it out and place it on a graph paper and trace it, then from there just fill in the squares to make out the image. So, I gave it a chance, and I just made a little big. If I knew then what I knew now I probably would have made the fleur de lis a little small to fit the beanie. But, here is the finished product. OK now I know it looks a little funny at the top, and thats only because when I started I didn't quite know exactly how to switch off the colors without it looking weird. Once I figured it out it was too late for me to go back and start over. But further down it looks better. LOL it came out a little too big and I had to cut it short, but you can see the point, so it looks alright for my first time. My dad likes it and thats all that matters. =)

The beanie is made of single crochets all around. I haven't quite build my courage to adventure into new stitching when it came to switching colors, but someday I'll get there.
