join me as we create beautiful crochet
0:02
stars that will add a magical touch to
0:04
your projects this holiday season now
0:07
you can make your stars any size you
0:09
like depending on what kind of yarn and
0:11
what hook size you're using so for
0:13
example this large star here I made
0:16
using some seriously chunky yarn and an
0:20
8 mm hook all of these others were made
0:23
with double knit just with varying hook
0:25
sizes this one with a 4
0:28
mm this one was a 3.5 and then a 3 mm so
0:34
you can vary the the size of your stars
0:37
by the yarn weight you use and your hook
0:39
size and this one was actually made with
0:41
Duke twine so you can experiment with
0:43
what you're using to make your stars so
0:46
for the purpose of the tutorial I'm
0:48
going to use a 4mm hook with some double
0:50
knit yarn going to start with putting a
0:56
hook now these stars are started off
0:58
just the way you do with a tradition
1:00
granny square so I'm going to chain
1:05
four and then join with the slip stitch
1:12
ring then going to chain three this does
1:16
count as a double crochet then I'm going
1:18
to put two double crochet into the
1:24
ring and I'm working over that tail at
1:33
then going to chain three one two 3 and
1:37
then put three more double crochet into
1:50
2 and three then chain
1:56
three three more double crochet into the
2:10
and we're going to repeat this two more
2:12
times so you're ending with a chain
2:15
three and then joining with the slip
2:17
stitch to the top of that chain
2:22
three so you should end up with five
2:25
granny clusters one 2 3 four five and
2:31
spaces we're then going to slip stitch
2:33
across to the next Stitch this is the
2:34
middle Stitch of your granny
2:38
cluster and then chain
2:40
one and put a single crochet in that
2:46
Stitch we're now going to start working
2:48
into the chain spaces of these Corners
2:50
so we're going to put three double
2:52
crochet into this next chain space
3:03
two and three chain three for the
3:08
corner and then three more double
3:10
crochet into that chain space that same
3:27
oops now we're going to look at this
3:28
grany cross and we look for the Center
3:30
Stitch and then put a single crochet
3:34
Stitch and we're going to repeat this
3:36
all the way around so in the corner
3:38
space three double crochet chain three
3:41
three double crochet single crochet in
3:44
that Center Stitch and the same in in
3:47
each of the corners and a single crochet
3:49
in each of those Center
3:50
stitches so I've worked all the way
3:52
around and I'm just going to end by
3:54
putting a slip stitch into that first
4:00
and then you can fasten off and weave in
4:03
ends now if you wanted your points of
4:06
your stars to be extra pointy you could
4:10
pin these out and block them just Spritz
4:12
them with water or or or use your steam
4:15
iron pin them out hover the iron over
4:19
the top let some steam penetrate don't
4:21
touch your crochet with the actual iron
4:24
though and you'll get really pointy
4:27
Corners now you can use these Stars as
4:30
um any kind of embellishments really you
4:32
can make them into Christmas decorations
4:35
I recommend if you want to make
4:37
decorations make them with cotton yarn
4:38
and you could add maybe some twine to
4:41
hang them with and perhaps some beads
4:44
well now that you've mastered these
4:45
adorable crochet stars in my next video

4:49
Stars into your festive wrapping for a
