I Crocheted!

I crocheted ear warmers! I'm so proud. I even made a flower to go on it.
 I accidentally started decreasing stitches, but then I decided that was a good thing for a headband so my hair would still lie flat in the back. I figured out how to increase them again and it worked out nicely 
It's not perfect, but it works!! I measured my head and then crocheted 1 1/2 in smaller. Next time I think I'll do it 2 or 2 1/2 inches smaller to make it a little more snug.

Here are some of the YouTube videos I used to learn:



Do you knit or crochet? If so, do you have any tips or thoughs to add? I'd love to hear them!

    I crochet! My tip is to go slow when you first learn and take your time. :)

    Great job! We crocheted ear warmers for our holiday bazaars this year and sold quite a few since they're so popular right now.

    Keep up the crocheting! Once you catch the bug, it's hard to put your crochet hook down. :)

    Happy creating! ~Lisa
