Starlight Hat

"The Starlight Hat is the perfect companion to the Starlight Sweater — a mosaic crochet beanie pattern that’s bursting with colour, texture and creativity. Worked seamlessly in the overlay mosaic crochet technique, this design gives you that stunning geometric texture that looks beautifully intricate, yet is wonderfully easy to achieve. Available in 6 sizes from baby to adult, the Starlight Hat is a quick, satisfying project that makes an ideal weekend make, handmade gift, or stylish market stall best-seller. Using just one colour per round and carrying your yarn neatly at the back, you’ll create a professional finish with no ends to weave in. Whether you’re new to mosaic crochet or already love the technique, this hat pattern is a brilliant way to learn, experiment and enjoy a modern textured crochet project. This mosaic crochet hat pattern includes a fully written pattern and complete mosaic charts for the beanie, so you can follow whichever format suits you best. A great crochet project for adventurous beginners and beyond that allows the mosaic crochet detail to shine through. Crocheted using US sc and dc stitches. "
