PUMPKIN CROCHET HAT

 

I designed and created this cute little pumpkin hat from just a basic hat pattern and added the scallop trim, leaves and corkscrew top for the stem.

 

I bought the yarn at Mardins at a bargain price for sure. Each skein was only a $1.00. I only used maybe a quarter of the orange yarn and a very little of the green. So can you do the math, I would say this hat did not cost me more than 0.35 cents to make this hat.
