Just a note to wish you all the best in your new endeavor!♥
Thanks Wendi!! I really appreciate it!!
thank you so much for this!!! other stars on the web are too rounded. i have many many ideas for these :]] is there a way to make them any bigger though?
Hey Missy, for a bigger star try using a larger hook than suggested in the pattern or a bulky weight of yarn or a couple strands of yarn held together!
ohhh thats a good idea :] thank you! :]
Do u have a pattern for a tulip?
not yet, but it’s a good idea to make one
Hey Rachel once again Im having trouble, this time its with this part of the pattern
skip 1 hdc, sl st in next hdc
Im beginning to think the person who taught me how to crochet did not do a good job of explaining things to me, Im sorry if i am a nuisance, Thank you so much
Jo Annie
No worries Jo Annie!
The center of the star is made in half double crochets (hdc) so after making one of the points on the star you are going to skip 1 half double crochet and slip stitch in the next half double crochet.
I want to enlarge the star you show here. I think I can do it but I’m not sure. I completed a Texas flag for my son and need to make a white star approx 8″ across. I have been looking for a pentagram or five sides pattern and I think I can adapt the points. Any suggestions? I am having a heck of a time finding a 5 sided potholder. Thanks.
Try using a larger hook with more than one strand of yarn held together.
I see that its been asked for above, but say, I wanted to make a really really really big version of one of these. Something along the lines of 12″ across, any advice on how i could do that?
To make the star 12″ would be a totally different pattern. But you would have to make the center circle larger, then extend each of the points by making a longer chain for each of them.
I have been fighting with following the instructions on making stars to sew to a little stuffed fairy’s hat and for it’s magic wand for hours and hours. It made no sense whatsoever, and when I finally did figure it out, the star’s points weren’t all that pointed. Then, I remembered that you had done a star pattern, and, voila!…they will be exactly the correct size for my little fairy!….AND they look a heck of a lot better than the ones pictured from the goofy pattern I was struggling with! ….AND a heck of a lot easier to make! THANK YOU!
Hey Rachel! I just wanted to thank you for this pattern. I spent probably half an hour or so looking for star patterns online and even tried out a couple that were, for me at least, pretty complicated. I was about to just give up and check your site when I clicked on a link that brought me right to this pattern.
This pattern is so simple but they look amazing. I’m using cotton thread in Christmas colors.
