Starstuff hat

Introducing the **Starry Stranded Beret**, an enchanting knit design that perfectly complements your **Starstuff mitts**. This delightful beret features a stunning crown of stars encircling the brim, with unique star-shaped decreases at the top for an eye-catching finish. Whether you’re strolling under the stars or cozying up indoors, this hat is a must-have accessory for any knitting enthusiast.

**Materials Needed:** For this project, you'll need 4-ply, fingering, or sock weight yarn. Specifically, gather at least 40 yards of your chosen 'star color' (SC) and 160 yards for the 'background color' (BC). For the best results, I recommend using **Zealana Kauri Fingering** in the beautiful shade of ‘Kea’ for the SC (35 yards) and ‘Tuhi’ for the BC (154 yards). You can even utilize leftover SC from your stunning **Starstuff mitts**, ensuring you create a cohesive look while using much of that precious yarn.

**Sizing Information:** This versatile beret is designed to comfortably fit an adult female head with a circumference of **22 inches**. Thanks to its ribbed design, it offers excellent stretch and should fit well on heads that are one or two inches larger or smaller. If you’d like to customize the size, simply add or subtract a multiple of 12 stitches from your cast-on. Additionally, if you prefer a longer beret, easily add extra rows as indicated in the pattern instructions. For those who desire an extended ribbing, feel free to lengthen it to suit your personal style.

This knitting pattern is provided for personal use only, allowing you to enjoy a relaxing crafting session while creating a beautiful accessory to showcase your knitting skills.
