Three Is a Magic NumberDon't ask me why, but the number three seems to work well in crafting. Take for instance this hat.

Here's an excellent but simple article on this rule. Wikipedia article on rule of thirds I don't think it's a good idea to stick to this rule without thinking, but when something isn't working it's a good thing to consider.
