Sternig is the German word for starry. Combining the Marguerite stich with other stitches creates the appearance of stars and makes a lovely textured hat that matches my Gestirn cowl.

Tools and Materials:

• 6.00 mm J/10 crochet hook or hook size needed to achieve gauge. Note: several testers had to go down a hook size to achieve gauge
• tapestry needle and scissors
• 0.75 skein worsted weight or Aran yarn (sample used Malabrigo Rios in Reflecting pool). Testers used between 115 and 150 m 126 and 165 y.

Sizes: Three sizes – Small/Medium/Large, with a circumference of 51/53.5/56 cm 20/21/22 in designed to fit a head circumference of 53.5/56/58.5 cm 21/23/23 in around. The height of the hat (from crown to brim) is 21/22/23 cm 8/8.5/9 in. You can adjust the height of the hat by changing the number of pattern repeats crocheted.

Thanks to my testers Panacheplus, ASpeckOfRoses, batty4yarn, FiraFlame, dawnlambert88, and RNNan13.
