Made Santa a Hat

This year Santa won't be freezing his ears off when he delivers toys because I made him a new hat. I just need to find the address to the North Pole so I know where to send it. This pattern worked up in one evening as I watched a couple Hallmark movies. I only have one gripe with the pattern though. I don't know why, but I really get peeved when patterns tell me to crochet something to a certain size instead of telling me how many rows/rounds to do. Other than that, I enjoyed this pattern. I used a pompom maker that looks like a tuning fork and my pompom didn't turn out quite so plush as the one in the pattern but I'm still happy with it. I'll stop jabbering now and show you the picture.

Hope everyone is staying warm,
