The Star Burst Beanie & Messy Bun Hat really is a fun hat to make! The color combinations are numerous! I even like it as a girly sports team hat (GO BEARS!!)!

The pattern is very pleasing to the eye, and touch too! I love to pair this hat with homemade faux fur pompoms, attached with a button.. you can easily switch out the pom for a new look! (just remember to remove prior to washing - faux fur poms do not enjoy a bath!)

This hat does have post stitch, and a special join tutorial for a smoother looking seam!

Listed as a Teen/Average Adult size hat, but it can be easily changed to fit all sizes! It has a bit of a slouch, which looks great with the PomPom!

Can be made in solids, or 2 (or more) colors! (I have included instructions listed on how to make the 2 colored versions shown) Solids look good, but I really prefer the 2 color version!

This pattern is worked from the bottom up.
You will need 1 or 2 colors of #4 WW yarn of your choice
in the pictured hats I used:
1 - Big Twist yarn in Buttercup & Nursery Rhyme
2 - Mainstays (purchased at WalMart) in Green and RHSS-Stripes in Retro Stripe
3 - RHSS in Navy and Orange
I and J hook
Scissors
yarn needle
Pompom of your choice - yarn or faux fur both look great with this hat!
(I make my PomPoms 7.25 inches in diameter)

I hope you enjoy making this as much as I did!
