Crochet a small star means working a flat five-pointed motif, useful as an ornament, garland piece, or applique detail on a bigger project. These work well for a simple December star garland. This guide gives the pattern.
Pattern Instructions
- Chain 2, work 10 sc into the second chain from the hook, closing the ring.
- Round 2: [chain 4, skip 1 st, sl st in next st] 5 times to form 5 point bases.
- For each point: chain into the point base, work 2 sc, 1 hdc, 2 dc, sl st down to build each pointed tip, then repeat for all 5 points.
- Fasten off and weave in ends.
