8) Purl 1 row
9) Knit 1 row
10) Purl 1 row

11) Repeat Steps 7 and 10 until 48 stitches are on the needle. The piece should measure 11” long and 12” wide at top. You should end up with a nice triangle.

12) Knit & purl in alternate rows for another 15-20 rows (or more if you want a longer length)

13) Knit 1, purl 1 for the next 15-20 rows.

14) Bind off loosely.

15) Sew the long edges together to form hat. Leave the ends on for sewing on the star later.

16) Crochet the star:
a- Make a magic crochet ring.

b- 10 sc in the ring

c- 2 sc in each stitch

d- *sc 3 stitches, 2 sc in next stitch* repeat to end of circle. You should end with 25 stitches in the round.

h- sc all ST, ch 1, turn

j- sc 2 ST, ch 1, turn

k- sc2tog

l- slip stitch down one side of the star arm

m- repeat steps e through l to make the other four arms

17) Make another star. (My first star tend to curl up, so I made another one to stablize the arms.)
