I love simple textures and this pattern has just that … a really simple texture that is almost as mindless as plain stockinette, with fun Star shaped decreases on the crown of the hat (which is what gave this pattern its name)! As with most of my hat patterns this one is sized for all the family, an elegant and unisex design that would be suitable for anyone to wear.

Knit up in a squishy worsted weight yarn this pattern takes no time at all to complete so also makes a perfect gift knit as well!
