Inspired by the glowing stars and shooting stars on a clear nights sky, I started playing around with 2 colors and just let the design flow. The result? A playful and fun pixie hat worked with a unique sideways brim and finished off with a looooong pointy tip. Working alternating rows of colors and some slipped stitches give the illusion of stars, the Milky Way and shooting stars.
Finish off your hat with a tassle or pompom on the tip and add braids to the tips of the brim.
