Christmas is around the corner, ho ho ho! I am just too excited
for all the pretty decorations, all the red, all the cheer, the joy, the
christmas tree, the lights, and the music. And holiday baking! can't forget
that! Last year I made Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer (free pattern), this year I'm focusing on stars. We want to remember that the Wise Men followed a star that led them to Jesus (Matthew 2:1-12).
To make the stars from the picture you'll need:
Cotton Yarn such as Lion Brand Yarn 831-106 Kitchen
Cotton Yarn, Blueberry
Size G hook - I use Clover 1045/G Purple Amour Crochet
Hook, Size G, 4.0mm
Ribbon
of your choice to tie and hang
of your choice to tie and hang
Needle to weave the ends such as Susan Bates Needles Bent Tip Steel
#13 & #16
The beauty of this pattern is that it only takes two rounds to
complete the star.
Begin with with a magic ring and tighten it after completing the
first round.
The pattern uses the following stitches:
P.A. = Punto Alto = Double Crochet
P. Deslizado = Slipt Stitch
P.A.D = Punto Alto Doble = Triple Double Crochet
The excitement has been so much this year that I started making
these stars for the Christmas tree back in September. I have made several
of them and I have to thank Ahuyama Crochet for the free pattern. It's in Spanish, but it's very easy to
follow. Follow the information above to make the stars.
Experiment with a larger hook to make bigger stars for a
banner.
