For this Superstar Hoodie Crochet Pattern I used one of my favorite stitches, the Star Stitch! It’s a fun stitch to try. I’m calling it an intermediate level stitch, but I’ve added a very detailed photo tutorial to help you through it!
For this hoodie I used the yarn we Dyed in the Slow Cooker (<- click to see the tutorial) and I absolutely love how it turned out! I knew I had to use a special stitch to really bring out all the pretty colors.
Since this yarn was my daughter’s creation, I made a hoodie for her.
One skein of I Love this Wool was the perfect amount for this Superstar Hoodie!

Great pattern and explanation of stitch.
Thank you!
I adore this pattern. I’m going to try to make one or something simmilar for my dad for christmas. Is it possible to get the multiple for the star stitch?
Hi! I’m sorry, but I really don’t remember. Usually I can figure it out, but this one is a little tricky!! I see a lot of tutorials on Pinterest that say to start with an odd number (which I didn’t do for this version).
What is the gauge of the hood? I’m trying make this and I think it’s coming out too big.
