wonderful surprise

A few months ago, I started looking for the perfect winter hat pattern. It had to be cute, of course, and crochet because I wanted to make it. After a week of looking, I found it! It was called the Charleston Cloche. Super cute, right? Well, I got my hooks out, some yarn and I couldn't for the life of me understand the pattern! It turns out according to ravelry.com I wasn't the only one. This pattern was very confusing, but for most of the people, they eventually figured it out.
Early November, we had a baby shower for my sister and my relatives from Pennsylvania came, including my crochet savvy cousin. I told her about the hat and how cute it was, but that I couldn't figure it out. I gave her the printed pattern and didn't think more about it.
A few weeks ago, my cousin asked me what color my winter coat was. Hmm... why would she want to know that? 
...Because she wanted to surprise me with these; the winter hat of my dreams and a matching scarf!!

After she figured out that the pattern had some errors, she hooked up the hat and then made up a matching scarf pattern! She gave me the pattern with corrections along with the package. 

What a warm, cozy and thoughtful surprise! I am so excited to wear these out! Thank you so much, Jessica, for this wonderful surprise <3
