hats 'n pom poms

[sleazypoodle.livejournal.com]

i am just learning to crochet. i have a million "learn to crochet" books.. and have read all the popular crochet sites online... and im still havin' trouble reading patterns. i suppose i'll whine about that later. but for now... 2 questions:

when people crochet hats and they say "i just crocheted a big rectangle and stiched the edges together." .... i don't quite understand that. anyone have a diagram of that? do they sew the 2 ends together so it forms a circle.. and then stitch one end shut? confusing.

and does anyone know of a good site i could find that has good diagrams and instructions on how to make pom poms for hats. i've been told how... a couple different ways. but i need pictures.

thank you guys for your time =)
