Stormy Stars Hat

I can't remember the last time I crocheted (or "crotch-eted" as Steve would say) anything so I decided to pick up my hooks and make this hat. I made it for my sister's upcoming birthday, but I like it so much that I think I'll make myself one too.

Pattern details: I followed the pattern for the "slouchy" version of the hat. The star stitch is pretty easy once you get the hang of it. I did three rounds of the border since two didn't seem like enough. I used a size K hook for the main part of the hat and a G for the border. The yarn (Caron's Simply Soft), while being cheap and acrylic, actually looks pretty good and has a nice drape.
