After choosing to abandon her immortality for true love against the wishes of her father Elrond, Arwen patiently waits for the Ring to be destroyed, and for Aragorn to claim his birthright as king of Gondor. Granddaughter of Galadriel, Princess Arwen is a Half-Elf who reunites the kingdoms of Men and Elf through her marriage. Said to be even lovelier than her grandmother, she gives her necklace, the Evenstar, which represents her immortality, commitment, and love, to Aragorn. While the necklace breaks in his dreams, Aragorn carefully guards the necklace until he is reunited with his princess.

Adorned with stranded colorwork Evenstars, this Arwen-inspired hat is knit seamlessly in the round from the bottom up. Begun with corrugated ribbing, the motifs come together at the crown creating a star as bright and radiant as the Elven princess herself. Knit one for you, or your true love.
