Death Star Beanie with Bill Free Crochet Pattern

Death Star Beanie with Bill Free Crochet Pattern

That's no moon. That's a fully operational Death Star Crochet Beanie that makes a great gift, or you could just make it for yourself. This hat is made with single crochet in rounds then is worked back and forth at the end for the bill. The design is made by changing colors as you work. It's simplicity is what makes it so stylish.

One look at the Death Star and you know it’s Star Wars. It’s just fascinating. I love the Death Star because it’s presented with beauty and mystery, but yet is so evil. It’s the weapon of all weapons. It really does represent how far the evil has gone in the empire, with its ability to destroy an entire planet, and they built another one. Dun, dun, dunnn..

I decided to make the second partially built Death Star. Mostly because my favorite part is.. “It’s a Trap!” That and the twist that although it’s still under construction, the empire had made a point to make sure it’s primary weapon was fully operational first.

The pattern is made by changing colors. I like how it makes the Death Star completely flush with the hat as opposed to an applique that is sewn on. I didn’t like how an applique Death Star looked. It loses some of the mystery, the lurking doom on the horizon.

The bill is made simply by switching from rounds to rows. It’s worked back and forth for just a few stitches to add a little extra detail.

I’ve always had a hard time choosing a side. I don’t know if I like the Empire or the Rebels better. Each have fantastic characters and I have favorites on both sides.
