crocheting...

At the moment, I'm failing at making this bear-eared hat. I've made it three times and it's been fail each time! I'm obviously doing something wrong, but I don't know what and haven't been able to figure it out... I'm guessing it's something with ending off/starting every row each time since it's DC, but without explicit instructions I'm only left to wonder what exactly to do.

I had to re-teach myself how to make granny squares the other day. I can't keep how to do them in my memory bank for some reason! Ah, me. I guess I am not a natural.
