Oh how I love summer, warm weather and a good crochet star pattern. This pattern for a crocheted star is super easy, it works up super quickly and is a great star applique for crocheted blankets, vests and more!
How to Make a Crochet Star
For this crocheted star we are creating a base circle then adding five points. Each point consists of four stitches: the chain, the single crochet, half double crochet and the double crochet. If you would like to watch the crochet star video tutorial, see below.
Unfamiliar with the Magic Circle for crocheting in the round? I highly encourage you to try this magic circle tutorial. It is much easier than it looks and your stars will turn out more uniform.
Crocheted star dimensions: 2.5″ across using cotton yarn with G crochet hook. If you’d like your star a bit larger use an H crochet hook.

Pattern:
Round 1: Magic circle. Ch-1, 10sc in circle, join with sl st to top of first sc (10 scs)
Round 2: Ch-1, sc in same st as join, 2sc in next * sc in next, 2sc in next * repeat between * * around. Join to top of first sc with sl st. Do not fasten off (15 scs)
Star points:
Ch-4, sc in 2nd ch from hook, hdc in next, dc in next. Point made (or taken? haha). Sk three sts on circle and sl st to next.
Repeat four times. Join last with sl st to base of first point, weave in end from magic circle beginning using your tapestry needle.
Wasn’t that easy peasy?! These stars work great as appliques as well. Like in my patriotic crocheted vest pattern that is currently being tested by my testers! You are going to LOVE it!

I have tried several star patterns and I wasn’t happy with the way they looked. This one is by far the best I’ve tried and I really love it. It’s an easy pattern and the points are so much better. Thank you so much.
I am glad you like it!
Thank you! So cute and easy.
Would it be possible to find a patter or show how to do a Barvarian stich and a I believe it is a
Reversible crochet stich? I cannot remember where I saw the names of those stiches so I thought I would ask you about them. Thank you for all your help and what you bring to all of us.
Could you please tell me where I can find find the yarn weight. I think it’s probably yw #4 but I’m really not a good guesser.
Thank You for sharing your talents with others.
Hi! Yes, I used a 4 weight cotton yarn.
I was watching your video and when you chain 4 it looked like you were somehow using the bottom stitch of the chain instead of the top, is this correct?
very good, keep going to send us more informations about this , i loved , thank you very much
I need help figuring out how to add them stars to a blanket. I would like to do a flag blanket. I don’t have a whole lot of experience . I do do well with patterns. I look for videos and I can’t find any on that
Hi!
It’ll probably be the most boring project ever, but I would sew them on with a yarn needle. Make sure you keep them as flat as possible, then you might try the Mattress Stitch style for sewing. Here’s a tutorial for that: http://hearthookhome.com/sew-crochet-pieces-together-using-mattress-stitch/
Hope it helps!
