Crochet projects I've completed

So, using YouTube, Pinterest and various blogs, I've successfully taught myself how to crochet. Single crochet, half double and double crochet are the stitches I'm comfortable with at this point. I've made a cowl using a bubble stitch, 3 double crochets in the same stitch, I made a black beanie using all double crochet and another teal beanie using a random variety just to test my skills. I wore that hat for a whole day and got several compliments. The last beanie I made was all double crochet using a rainbow yarn. It's a little loud for my taste but I love how the colors line up. To learn and get comfortable with the atitches I used a plain yarn, now I've moved on to some great textured yarns. If you're learning to crochet remember to take your time and don't take anything to seriously. It takes a lot of screwing up to get it right, and you'll be better for it in the end. I can make a hat without following a pattern now.
