I actually learned how to make a star on our family summer vacation to Alaska and then I forgot. I had to teach myself all over again to make these! Has that ever happened to you? Well, if it hasn’t just don’t tell me…ha!
I created a few small projects while sitting at pretty campsites. It was a fabulous crafty time.
Gather your supplies…pretty yarn, a hook and some scissors.
Size hook – I/9
Big Twist Yarns {Chunky – 5} 100% acrylic – Seabreeze #12021
Time to crochet…
- Start by chaining 2
- Create the Center – Crochet 10 HDC {half double crochet} in the first stitch you made. It will be a tight fit, but it will work out fine. Join the top of the first HDC with a SS {slip stitch}. This will complete the first round.
- Create 5 Points – Chain 4. SS {slip stitch} into the 2nd chain from the hook. Crochet 1 SC {single crochet} into the next stitch working your way back down. Then 1HDC into the last stitch near the center of the star.
- Important Step – Skip one HDC {working around the center} and SS into the next HDC to finish your first point. Repeat this 4 more times.
- When I complete the last stitch I take the hook and pull the yarn to the back and tie a knot to secure it. Easy Peasy!!!
