The hats are sooooooo cool and I really needed the extra how-to instructions provided. I particulary liked the close ups of the stitches and the arrows pointing to which stitch to start working in. I also like that she encouraged you to experiment with different yarns. The famous folks modeling the hats didn't hurt either. That tie-on type head covering too. This is a keeper!
