This pattern has been re-released as of January 9, 2012! The decreases have been fixed and pictures have been updated, as well as the PDF entirely re-written. If you have previously knit this hat and have feedback on the re-written pattern, or are knitting it for the first time, please contact me with any questions or comments you may have.

Note: This hat forms a spiral design using the stars, which are spaced out with a “make star” and purl stitch. In some rows, you will end on a make star (MS) and others there will be the purl stitch. This will alternate depending on which row you are on.
