Five Point Star
Materials
Yarn of choice and appropriately sized hook, scissors, large eye needle for finishing
hdc 5 tog - half double crochet five together - *yo, insert hook behind post, yo draw up a loop* five times, yo and draw through all 11 loops on hook (see pictures 2 & 3)
Star
Ch 5
join with sl st to 1st ch to form a ring
Row 1: ch 2, work 10 dc into ring, skip beg ch 2, join with sl st to 1st dc
Row 2: (see picture 1) *ch 2, dc in next st, ch 3, hdc 5 tog around post of dc just made, ch 3, sc into next st* five times (sl st into last st after making 5th point, see picture 4)
Finish off weaving in loose ends.
Hanging Loop
Cut a 4 to 5 inch piece of yarn. Tie the ends together with an overhand knot. Thread the knot end from back to front through the ch 3 space of the top point. Pass the knot end under the loop end and pull to form a slip knot. (see pictures 5 & 6)
Pattern Note: To create a six point star, work 12 dc in Row 1 and repeat Row 2 six times.
*Note: The reason I begin Row 1 with a ch 2 which I later skip over is to fill the space typically created between the first and last sts. It would be perfectly fine to ch 3 and have that count as the first dc, dc 9 in circle and join to the top of the beg ch 3.
