If you’re looking for a quick and beginner-friendly crochet project, this little star is perfect! It works great as a crochet keychain, a garland decoration, or a cute appliqué for clothes and accessories. The pattern is very simple, making it an excellent choice if you’re just starting your crochet journey.
What you’ll need 🧶
-
Yarn: Worsted/Aran weight yarn (Category 4). I used YarnArt Jeans Plus, but any yarn of the same weight will work.
-
Hook: 4 mm crochet hook (or a size that matches your yarn).
-
Other materials: A yarn needle and scissors.
The Pattern:
Start with a magic ring
-
Rnd 1: Ch 2, work 14 dc into the ring, sl st to join. Pull the yarn tail to close the ring.
-
Rnd 2: (Ch 5, work in the 2nd chain from the hook: sc, hdc, dc, trc. Skip 2 stitches, sl st in next) × 5.
You’ll have 5 points forming a star.
Fasten off, tie the yarn ends in a knot, and weave in the tails.
That’s it — your cute crochet star is finished! This is such a fast and satisfying project that you’ll want to make more than one. Try experimenting with different yarn colors to create a whole rainbow of stars. 🌈
