I've been crocheting off and on for many years (since I was a little girl), but never really bothered to learn to read patterns - mostly just making throws and afghans for the fun of it.  Saw this yarn and couldn't resist - loved the bright colors.  After a couple of false starts, settled on single-crochet stitch, created a trapezoid shape, seamed the like sides, turned inside-out, rolled up a brim - and voila! - cute little hat.  Okay, so it wasn't what I thought I would do when I started out, but as Bob Ross used to say - a happy little accident.  :)  If you are going to make more than one item - or one bigger than a hat or scarf - you'll need more than one skein.  Loved the chunkiness and the colors.  Would recommend - especially to someone who has more technical knowledge about what they are doing.  :)
