Easy Crochet Star Pattern

This easy crochet star pattern is perfect for using up scrap yarn. Use as an applique, add a hanging loop for a simple ornament or string them together to make a garland.

How Do You Crochet a Star?

This crochet star pattern is worked in a spiral without joining.

We’ll begin by making 6 single crochet in a magic ring and then we’ll increase over the next 4 rounds to create a flat circle.

The final round is when we’ll create the points of our star using a combination of stitches of varying heights.

What Can I Make With Crochet Stars?

Crochet stars are extremely versatile and can be used for lots of fun projects.

• Add a hanging loop for a sweet and simple ornament.
• Use as an applique on a hat, bag or baby blanket.
• String a bunch together or pair with other crochet motifs to create a garland (perfect for birthdays, fourth of July, Christmas, etc).
• Use as a gift topper for a special handmade touch.

Change up the colours to match any holiday, theme or project and make bigger or smaller stars by using different weight yarns and hook sizes.

Do You Need to Block Crochet Stars?

You can block these crochet stars for a more defined shape and pointier tips. I chose not to but it’s totally up to you.

For easy blocking, pin them to shape on a blocking mat, spray with water and let dry.
