Last year I decided to learn to do a hat,and debated between two patterns. Ultimately chose one, and was amazed to find I'd knitting what my family affectionately calls "Gargantua Hat" because I used the needles from one pattern on the other pattern (10's instead of 7's!)

So, I finally got around to trying again, and am quite proud of myself. Did it in 2 days, too!

The pattern is "allison's beginner cap." (http://knitting.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ/Ya&sdn=knitting&cdn=hobbies&tm=7&f=21&su=p445.92.150.ip_&tt=14&bt=0&bts=0&zu=http%3A//alison.knitsmiths.us/pattern_beginners_hat.html)

Here's the hat.

The yarn was Caron's Simply Soft Shadows, soft merino. ~ $3.99,from Michael's. :)
