Oh, My Stars!

Lookie!

I figure if I adjust the pattern to be the width of the side of the backpack (where the star pocket goes) pre-felting, then the star should felt to the correct size, right?

haha. I should have read the pattern before I rushed to that thought. Did you see that pattern? i don't have any idea what it's about, much less how to reduce it to the dimensions I need.

I just made 5 garter stitch triangles, joined them, knit in the round fudging decreases until a little creative cinching got it to close and be flat instead of domey. That goodness for felting.

Photos to come.
