I’m very new to crocheting, and this is a lot of fun to do! Thank you for posting I’m planning on using a few stars for a scarf I’m making!

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.

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!

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 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?

Try using a larger hook with more than one strand of yarn held together.

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.

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.
