How to crochet..

For some reason i have completely forgotten how to crochet. I don't know why, my mom taught me how to crochet when i was in middle school and i was actually pretty good at it. So i went to Micheals today to pick up some cookie cutters and canvas' and walked past the yarn and said "what the heck, i could crochet a cute little hat for baby" So I buy some cute yarn and needles, get home and nothing. I can barely remember how to do a chain stitch! I was furious so I decided I would search how to crochet on the internet, i can now do a chain stitch like a pro! but do you think i can figure out how to get a second row going, let alone a double stitch, No I can't! Ugh.  It frustrates me. I need my mommy to come teach me how again. I really want to make one of those long stocking baby hats, and a crocheted baby cocoon for newborn pictures. They have really cute ones on Etsy.com but i just can't fathom spending 20.00 and up for a little hat or cocoon I can make myself.
This is what i'm hoping to accomplish in the next month. Or something close to it.! I just think it these hats are soooo adorable!

  2. At least you can do a chain :) I keep thinking I need to learn but haven't done it yet. Maybe when you get it down, you could teach me. I can't believe it is almost time for little baby to be here! Those would make dang cute newborn pics!
