Jelly Xmas Star Tutorial - revisited....

With Xmas only just over a month away I've been getting quite a few emails from people about the Crochet Xmas Star Tutorial I did back here. For some reason Google swallowed up all the pictures from that post back at the start of this year and with the help of a tech-y friend I have finally been able to recover them again....

So, here's the post again - same photos, same instructions, just in a 'newer' post.

If you'd like to make some Xmas-y Stars this year then grab yourself some 8ply yarn (1 used 100% merino in the pictures below but cotton would be equally as good) and a 4mm hook.
(note - american crochet terms are used for this pattern)

To start, make a foundation chain of 5, join with a slip stitch to the first chain to form a ring.
Round 1 - (you will be working this round into the ring formed with the foundation chain) ch3, 2dc, ch3, *3dc, ch3. Repeat from the * 3 more times (5 dc clusters and 5 ch3's total). Join with a slip stitch to the 3rd ch of the starting ch3.

Round 2 - slip stitch into the next 2 dc and into the first ch3 space. ch3, (2dc, ch3, 3dc) all in the same (1st) ch3 space. 1hdc in 2nd dc of next dc cluster (a cluster is a group of 3dc's worked in the previous round). *3dc, ch3, 3dc in next ch3 space, 1hdc in 2nd dc of next dc cluster. Repeat from * 3 more times.

Join with a slip stitch in 3rd chain of starting ch3.
star 3 
Round 3 - Slip stitch into next 2 dc and into first ch3 space. Ch3, (3dc, ch4, 4dc) all in the same (1st) ch3 space. 1sc on either side of hdc from previous round.
star4 
(4dc, ch4, 4dc) in next ch3 space, 1sc on either side of next hdc from previous round. Repeat from * 3 more times. Join with a slip stitch in 3rd chain from starting ch3. Fasten off and weave in ends...

These stars are great sewn into a garland or hung by themselves on your tree. Why not make them in a thick cotton for a Xmas-y themed washer...

    Hope your girls are enjoying the build up to the big day. ( mind you just thought that could be baby or Christmas)

    Best wishes from the UK.

  4. These are great Jodie. I always add them to my Christmas gift tags for a little bit of fun. I've made so many I don't need the pattern anymore.
    Thanks

    1. What a great idea. I am making them for a memorial wreath I am making with red stripes and blue stars, but I like these so much I will be using them in other ways too. Gift tags: great idea.

  8. Hey Jodie, that's really funny, I've been crocheting stars for our brand new shop in Coolamon. Our patterns are quite similar! I'm only a beginner at crochet, I find it impossible to read most of the patterns but I can work out my own designs much more easily. I wish I had found your great post with action photos, so much easier to follow.

  9. Hey thanks for the update Jodie. I found your pattern floating around pinterest and love it. I'm a newbie crocheter and was able to follow your pattern without the pics (pinterest link is to the original page). But with the pics is so much nicer! Now I'm off to update my pinterest pin with this page. See you again. xx Fi

  13. Of all the stars I have tried to make, I love this one the most. Thank you!

  14. I should also have mentioned in my comment that I think quite a few people have had problems with their pictures on blogger. Reducing their image sizes has helped them because they had filled their free quota on photobucket.

  17. I love this star pattern!! I am still new to crocheting and this is the only pattern I have been able to follow so far, one question though... is there a way to make it bigger?

    ReplyDelete
  18. I too was wondering how to make the star larger...like dishcloth size...about 7 - 8 inches wide?
    thanks for sharing your lovely pattern..
    blessings to you and yours..

  33. Great pattern!! Thank you for sharing. I haven't used the scrubby yarn yet but think this might be good size for a scrubby. In the meantime am using it to make a red, white, and blue bunting for the 4th of July.

  35. Just want to thank you for sharing this lovely easy star pattern. It's exactly what I had in mind when I wanted to make stars. I made mine starting with a magic ring, looks good. I did the star in white, so I crocheted a white bead into the 2nd ch of the point (hope you know what I mean) Thank you again :)
    Best Wishes, Ann from Cape Town

  39. Standard Star Package this link name a star Certificate without Wooden Plaque Star Foundation Signature Medallion Map of the Constellations,you could actually name a star. The are millions of catalogued stars out there, Several years before if somebody would have told you it is possible to Name a star, you would have mocked it saying it is not possible.

  40. In this case, your job may be on the line, something simple and easy may be the best option. If you are required to take the test by your employer, you will almost certainly be supervised through the process. You can wash your hair, color it, and apply styling products without altering the test's accuracy. The collector will cut between 100 and 120 hair strands off the crown of your head after verifying your identity. To avoid generating a bald area, they can collect hairs from several locations on your crown. If you have little or no hair on your head, the collector may do the test using body hair instead. The hair will be wrapped in foil and placed in a safe envelope before being dispatched for overnight testing. Within 24 hours of hair removal, a negative result might be verified. As a screening test, an ELISA test is employed. This test reveals whether the hair sample is drug-free. If you receive a negative result, it means you haven't used illegal drugs in the last 90 days. So, give it a try whenever you have an upcoming drug test. Continuously drinking fluids alone can be tedious, so we recommend detox pills — specifically,Toxin Rid 5-day Detox Program. It is one of the most popular and effective products that are 100% natural and free of any harmful ingredients. When it comes to synthetic urine, the brand claims it has been derived from natural human urine. Moreover, the company proudly claims its fake pee has never failed a drug test.
