Recently finished project

Well back in December I finally finished my first hat and scarf. The project was to help me learn double ribbing and knitting in the round. I have to mention that I wish the books and internet would have told me that long tail casting on ( different from what I was taught) would be the best way to knit in the round. It took me a month to figure out how to connect one side of the hat to the other in order to knit in the round. Once I figured that out it only took me 2 days to knit the hat. Here are some pictures below of my finished master piece.
