Two patterns for the price of one!

The name of the pattern is taken from a 19th-century American nursery rhyme based on the fantasy that if you make a wish when you see a falling star that wish will come true:

Star light, star bright, the first star I see tonight; I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight.

Both cowl and beanie are worked in the round, using only two colors per round. The beanie is designed to fit a medium-sized adult head.
