Here’s a lovely textured crochet star stitch hat.

The entire work is constructed using the side-to-side method. Both the folded-over ribbing and the top section crown are made at the same time. One end of the work contains the half double crochet ribbing while the other end contains the star stitch. The ribbing looks like a knitted ribbing due to alternating the front and back loops of the HDCs. A faux fur pompom is sewn on top for decoration.

There is a step-by-step tutorial video for this pattern.
