Free Christmas Star Crochet Pattern: Festive Crafting!

Welcome to Day Four of our Twelve Days of Christmas Crochet countdown! Today, our make is a pretty six-pointed star.

You can whip up a whole batch and string them as a garland, add them to your tree, or affix them to the top of presents! They work up incredibly quickly.

Materials Required

Today’s make only uses worsted weight yarn and a 4.25mm crochet hook. I used white yarn, but also made a few stars in red, yellow, and blue!

Star

R1: ML6 (6)

R2: inc in each st (12)

R3: sc to first st, then ch 5.

We’ll be working back down this chain to make our first point. First, make a slip stitch in the 2nd chain from the hook (remember, never count the loop on your hook as a stitch!).

Then place a single crochet in the next chain:

Now a half double crochet in the next chain:

Place a double crochet stitch in the last chain stitch to finish off the point:

We’ll skip over one single crochet stitch from R2, and place a single crochet in the next stitch.

Repeat that same process of chaining 5 then slp st, sc, hdc, dc down the chain, skip a sc, sc in next st all the way around your star!

On your very last stitch, rather than a single crochet, place a slip stitch instead.

Weave in all loose ends, and your lovely crochet star is complete!
