Spoiled!

I'm participating in a swap on Ravelry and have I been spoiled! These beautiful crochet pieces arrived first, then today I got a ticket from the mail man for a package. I figured it was yarn. Boy was I wrong! A full set of the new bamboo handled crochet hooks by Susan Bates. Not one or two like I thought I might get, but the entire set! Woot! Lucky me. =-)

Thank you spoiler whoever you are!

On the hat front we have these:

Hat the Fourth and Hat the Fifth

Made using this pattern

Modifications:

Used H hook. Changed round 3: Ch3, dc, 2dc, (dc, dc, 2dc) around (40 st). Worked through round 8 even. Shell edging. On the second one I added another round of working even so the end could be folded up into a cuff.
