Camel Hat

This is the first time I've worked a pattern like this, and I'd do things differently when/if I attempt it again. I carried the brown yarn over from camel to camel, and my stitching got too tight...so tight it wouldn't fit on my daughter's head. I wound up cutting the tight lengths of yarn on the inside, hoping that it would provide a little more 'give' and wouldn't start to unravel the camels if I applied some glue to the cut ends. That was semi-successful. I think I'd do the entire hat in single crochet next time so that my stitches would be more consistent throughout. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be...it just required a little more thought than I wanted to give while I watched American Idol.
