Crocheting Hats and Shopping for Pins

Still crocheting! So far I've finished a scarf and two beanie hats with the yarn I already had lying around. I've ordered more yarn to keep me busy for a while. Maybe I'll get ambitious and try a sweater one of these days.

One beanie hat is unfortunately so short and lightweight that I'm not sure I'll use it much. It's cute, but I doubt it's going to keep anyone's ears very warm on a cold day. (My husband says it ought to have ear flaps like Jayne Cobb's hat.)

The other hat is thicker and has a pompom, so it should be great when winter comes around again. However, the cuff part keeps rolling back down, so I'm planning to hold it in place by decorating it with a bunch of Disney pins. But I'll need to order special backs for the pins to keep them locked in place, otherwise I'll probably lose some. The original backs love falling off.

While I was looking into pin backs, I discovered that there are Avatar the Last Airbender pins too! Guess what's on my wish list now.

Below are the videos I followed to make the two hats.
