Astronomer’s Beret
Sometimes a yarn just tells me what it wants to be, right there in the yarn shop. This delicious yarn is tonal-dyed and has an astronomically named palette, so I immediately started planning ways to add the stars to my knitting.
The hat begins with a three-color, corrugated ribbed band. The body is worked in one color. Simple embroidery creates a star chart of the winter night sky that is visible in the northern hemisphere.
