I Never Intended to Crochet

Not that there's anything wrong with it. I just never really gravitated to it, but let's start at the beginning I have a nice hippy hat that I got in Columbia Missouri in the late 80s. It is one of those colorful, "hair bags". It was obviously some sort of knit or weave. I often though it would be fun to make such a hat from skratch, but I didn't want to invest the time.Recently I threw it in the washing machine, and was dismayed to find it had come a fair piece unraveled in the wash. Naturally, I was going to fix it, so I examined the knots that made up the weave so I could imitate it. At a point I started thinking, "This would be a whole lot easier it I had a little hook to pull the string though the loop, hey...." I repaired the hat after purchasing a crochet hook. I didn't want to forget the newly found skill, so I set right to making the hat seen above.
