Hat and Scarf Set

I couldn't stand it any longer.  I had to make a hat and scarf set!  I used one skein of a brown, black and rust variegated Lionbrand Homespun yarn - can't remember the actual color name.  In my defense, the yarn did come from my stash.

It appears that I am a "large" crocheter.  The first time I attempted the pattern, the hat was HUGE!  So I undid all the work and began again with a smaller hook - paying attention to keeping the tension of the yarn tighter.  Wouldn't you know it?  Now the hat is too small! I have a rather small head but there is no way I can wear this hat. 

Deciding it just wasn't meant to be, I listed the set in my etsy shop and will try it again with another yarn.  Probably a blue, lavender and periwinkle variegated yarn this time.
