Time flies so fast, and I hope that 2011 has treated you well if not 2012 will be better!
This is the link where I got the pattern of my crochet shell scarf from and below is a youtube tutorial for right handers <3

Crochet Hat Tutorial:
without pom-pom (does not look as nice with a pom pom eh)
Things needed:
2 ~ 4 balls of 8 ply wool
4 mm crochet hook (I'm used to using a 4mm hook, however you can choose to use a 5 / 6.5 mm crochet hook if the yarn you use is thicker)
I combined two colours of wool together as I was trying to finish up my pink wool. Hence you could just mix any colour variations of yarn you want or use 2 strands of same colour wool to start to crochet.
Optional: You can first wind the two yarns together into a ball for easy handling.
Foundation ring: Chain 7 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring (chain it tighter so that there will not be a large hole at the top of your hat)
Round 1: Chain 3 (count as 1 double crochet) and then do 21 double crochet (dc) into the ring. Join with slip stitch into the 3rd of chain 3. (I am using US terminology, hence double crochet would mean treble for the British, click here for more conversion)
Round 2: Chain 3 (count as 1 dc), then continue with 2 dc into each stitch of previous round. Join with slip stitch to the 3rd of the chain 3.
Round 3: Chain 3 (count as 1 dc), 1 dc into the same place, *[ 1 dc into the next stitch, 2 dc into the next stitch], repeat from * to the last stitch, 1 dc into the last stitch, join with slip stitch into the 3rd of chain 3.
Round 4: Chain 3 (count as 1 dc), 1 dc into same place, *[ 1 dc into each of next 2 stitches, 2 dc into next stitch], repeat from * to last 2 stitches, 1 dc into each of last 2 stitch, join with slip stitch into 3rd of chain 3.
Round 5 and more: *Chain 3 (count as 1 dc), and continue with 1 dc into the top of each double crochet of the previous round. Join with slip stitch to top of the first chain 3. Repeat * to increase the rounds.
The total number of rounds I made for this hat is 20. However you can increase the rounds if you would like a longer hat.
When you have enough rounds for the hat, single crochet through the stitches to finish it off. Attach a pom pom at the top if you like or add any embellishment to the hat <3

I used a pom pom maker to make the pom pom. If you do not have a pom pom maker hope this youtube tutorial would be useful to you.
This is a simple hat tutorial, not as fancy as what the shops are selling but hope that you would like it.
It's my first time doing a tutorial, hope that the instructions are clear and if there is any question, feel free to ask me =D.
Another year is coming! I don't think I ever completed any resolutions at all so I would only have a simple request which is to:
-Try not to buy any more beauty products that I do not need as there is only as much paint I can paint on my face and some might expire before I even get to them. However, I may succumb to some beauty marketing strategy or "limited edition" these two words and hence would only TRY to buy what I really need than want. XD
- Oh and to be more patient.
Do you ever follow your resolutions and have you made any for the next year?
Happy New Year to everyone!I don't really know how to express my feelings well but I am really grateful to have met such lovely bloggers online and glad to know them better through various means be it through twitter or blogging! ..xoxoxo
