Crochet Baby Bear Hat (and Vest FAIL!!)

 I've been working on a couple of crochet projects this week including this bear hat for Walker:

I love LOVE how it turned out! :) I think he likes it too:


Anyway, I made the hat basically to redeem myself because the pink vest I showed last week turned out to be a horrid mess. Here's the pattern in case your wondering what it's suppose to look like. Anyway, it turned out way too large around the bottom so I added a border and decreased my stitches to make it smaller, but then it just looked like a giant pink bubble on me. Not the look I was going for:


I decided that it just couldn't be saved so I took it apart and now I have two pink rectangles of single crochet. Any ideas as too what I should do with these?? I've thought about folding them in half to make tote bags or adding cream and making a baby girl blanket or adding a fabric lining and making a crochet hook holder. Any thoughts?!


Just goes to show you that not every project is a success. Oh well. Hopefully I'll do better next time!


What have you been working on lately?
