the first blanket i ever crocheted directly tied into my theory of crafts

i've made winter scarves, winter hats and attempted knitting

my next projects in schlitz box colored yarn
hat, mittens, and a scarf that goes with my cool jacket
a schlitz beer hat (i need someone to help me drink it! and tin snips!)
maybe a crocheted bikini
they look like fun

instructions for making the "traditonal" beer hat:

MATERIALS: 3 skeins (1 skein for each of the three colors, A, B & C), Worsted Weight Yarn.
G or H size Crochet Hook .
... 3 Beer Cans (pliable for cutting; requires 6 beer can labels)
... Paper Punch (1/4-in. opening) 
... Tape Measure
... Yarn Needle
... Pom-Pom Maker
STEP 1: Cut 6 ovals with the beer label being the center (2 from each can). Make men's sizes31/2 " wide x 4" long; women's size 31/4" wide by 4" long. Punch 16 1/4"-holes evenly spaced around can label 1/2" away from edge.

STEP 2: (Start to crochet at edge side just below printed label, leaving 6 or 7 inches of yarn to be used later for sewing.) With color A and first oval beer label, work 3 SC (Single Crochet) in each 1/4" hole punched. Sl. St. (Slip Stitch) at the end of every round. Break yarn, work second beer can label. With color B, work beer can labels 3 & 4. With color C, work beer can labels 5 & 6. 
STEP 3: Thread Yarn needle with 6" piece of yarn left in Step 2 and sew together two ovals starting at START point shown on diagram and sew together 9 SC. Fasten tightly at top and break yarn. Attach the rest of the labels in the same manner to form a circle.
STEP 4: *Work one SC in each SC around top of oval with 2 SC between each oval - repeat from * around.
STEP 5: Top of Hat: CH (Chain) 5 and in the fifth chain from the hook, Sl. St. to form a ring.
Row 1: - Ch 2 (acts a 1 dc), work 9 dc (Double Crochet) in ring (10 dc) Sl St at end of every round.
Rows 2, 3 and 4: - Ch2, 2 dc in top of every dc (20 dc) (40 dc) (80 dc).
Row 5: Ch2, 1 dc in next 4 dc, *2 dc in next dc, 1 dc in the next 5 dc, repeat from * around top of hat. This leaves a fluffy circle.
(Row 6: Man's size - 1 dc around.)
STEP 6: To join crown of hat and completed circle of ovals space off evenly, join yarn and Sl St around.
STEP 7: Bottom of Hat - * work 1 dc in each sc around bottom or ovals with 2 dc between each oval. Repeat from * around.
STEP 8: Work 1 dc in each sc around bottom of hat.
STEP 9: Work 1 sc in each dc around bottom hat. Make pom-pom for top of hat.
