my head hugger

Ok, here we go.
The first post of, hopefully, many!

I thought I'd kick the crochet blog off in style by posting my all-purpose hat pattern. Well, it's all-purpose as long as you want a hat. In treble. With holes in. Yes, well, whatever. It's the first pattern I've ever written, so please be kind!

Written by me, so some creative commons observed; i.e, this is mine. I wrote it, but you're welcome to use it. Please don't say you wrote it though, because I did!
Also, if you make one, please link me to a pic, I'd love to see how you did it! :D

Written using English terms (cuz, I'm English y'all)

Glossary of terms & translation:
ch= chain (US= chain)
sl st= slip stitch (US= slip stitch)
tr= treble (US= double crochet)
dc= double (US= single crochet)

Works up to about a 22" head circumference. You can change this by repeating rows 5-9 until it covers your ears. Also, make less of said rows if you're going for teeny wee sizes.
