Stars

I found this pattern online and tweaked the pattern just slightly so I could decrease the size of the hole in the center of the star. Plus I love using adjustable magic rings for patterns. Maybe I'm just proud of myself for learning how to do them so efficiently. Haha! Anyway, enjoy!

Easy Crochet Star

Hook Size: G
Yarn: worsted acrylic yarn - the "crunchier" the yarn the better - think Red Heart Super Saver

Rnd 1:  Make a magic adjustable ring, 1 sc in ring to make a beginning knot, ch 3 (counts as 1st double crochet), 2 dc into ring, ch 5. *3 dc into ring, ch 5.* Repeat from * to * 3 times more, slip stitch into 3rd ch of beginning ch 3.
Rnd 2: Ch 1, *sc in same stitch. Skip next stitch, sc in next st. 3 sc in ch 5 space, ch 2, sc back into 3rd sc just made (this will make a picot point of star), sc 2 more into ch 5 space.* Repeat from * to * 3 more times. Join to 1st sc with slip stitch. Fasten. Weave in ends.

**You can make a cute garland with these stars for the holidays. Just chain a long chain of yarn and tie the stars intermittently across the chain. Leave about 12 inches on either end for tying to banisters or shelving. You can also starch them until they're stiff, iron them flat and put ornament hooks on them to hang them on your tree. They're very versatile in what you can do with them once you've made quite a few.
