fortyfive: i'm a milliner

in the past three weeks i have crocheted three hats. one for each of my parents and one for myself. i was inspired by a hat my mom made me a few years ago (i did not take a picture or it, because i lost it somewhere in my room) and a hat my friend jenn was wearing during the inauguration. jenn has been after a knitted beret ever since we saw the movie elizabethtown (note the red hat kirsten dunst is wearing) and she was finally able to find a similar one this winter. i was unsure how my version of the beret would turn out (the top two pictures), because i did not use a pattern, but i think it looks surprisingly good.
