Notes: Stargrove is worked from the bottom up, in the round. After ribbing, the first section of the body is knit in Brick Stitch, a two-colour mosaic knitting pattern, before being cast off. Crochet stitches are then worked into the cast-off edge, and the hat transitions into the Star Stitch pattern with decreases worked in pattern to complete the crown.

US crochet terminology used throughout.
