Items needed:
- small amount of worsted weight yarn in 1-2 colors
- G hook
- yarn needle
- scissors
Abbreviations used:
- ch(s): chain(s)

Notes: This pattern is worked in rounds. You do not need to turn your work at the end of each round. Ch 1 at the beginning of a round does not count as a stitch/single crochet. Ch 2 at the beginning of a round does count as a hdc, though.
Color changes: You can decide where to make color changes for this pattern, if you want to make them at all. I will have notations in the pattern where I made my color changes, when I created these booties initially. Everyone has their own technique for color changes. In this pattern I do so by bringing up the new color in the slip stitch used to close each round, cut the old color, tie the ends together, and crochet over the ends.

The hat pictured can be found here. When I initially made the hat, I followed the directions exactly. The hat did not come out very deep for me, so I added a few more rounds to deepen it. I was much happier with it.
The pattern for the star embellishment on the booties can be found here. It's super easy.
