Radiant Star Ornament - Free Crochet Pattern

13/12/2015

Comments

 
I was inspired the other day by these christmas wreaths that were floating around on facebook to crochet some christmas stars using the same technique. Here's the first star ornament of two I designed just for you this Christmas...
Radiant Star Ornament | FREE Christmas crochet pattern by @beckastreasures
I must have frogged this star several times before I got the look just right. I wanted to give the star pointed tips. Each time I worked the third rnd, the points I had created in the previous rnd disappeared into the design and new points were too short. It wasn't until I thought of using taller stitches that I was able to accomplish it.

The best part about this radiant star ornament is it's fast, easy and beautiful! 

Depending on how quickly you crochet, you can have one of these made in half an hour or less. So, if you're looking for that final touch for your Christmas tree, this will be just the ticket for you.

All you need is a ring (can be plastic, metal, crochet, elastic, whatever you like), yarn and a hook and soon you'll have many radiant stars for your tree...

This pattern is copyrighted to Rebeckah Ferger of www.rebeckahstreasures.com. It is for personal use only.  No part of this pattern may be copied or distributed in any way. If you sell what you make from thispattern, please credit me as the designer. All rights reserved, 2015.

Skill Level - Easy

You'll Need:

  • crochet cotton thread size 10 ( I use Circulo Clea) about 50m (7.5 grams / 0.25oz) - in one colour
  • 2.1mm hook
  • tapestry yarn needle
  • 1 – 1 ¼“ (3 cm) diameter plastic/metal ring (a bottle cap ring also works well, or you can crochet one)

Gauge:

Not important. In fact, you can easily switch between lacy weight yarns and hook sizes for different effects and sizing too.

Sizing:

4 ⅓“ (11 cm) diameter from star tip to star tip.

Abbreviations: US Terms Used

BO of 2 - bobble of 2 (see how here)
ch(s) - chain(s)
dc - double crochet
dtr - double treble crochet

f/o - fasten off
rep - repeat
rnd - round
sc - single crochet
sk - skip
sl st - slip stitch
sp(s) - space(s)
st(s) - stitch(es)
tr - treble crochet
trtr - triple treble crochet
yo - yarn over

Pattern Notes:

​You should be familiar with basic and tall crochet stitches (ch, sl st, sc, dc, tr, dtr, trtr), working in the round, and starting your crochet piece by attaching to an object. A special stitch used here is a variation of the bobble (instructions are included below).

TIP: If your ring isn’t perfectly smooth, just use some tape or a hot glue gun to smooth out the ridges.

Star Instructions:

Make 1

This star is worked in non-continuous rnds, where each rnd is worked in the same direction with a pause at the end of each one. Do not turn at the end of rnds. First st of the rnd is the same sp where the sl st join is made. *Side facing you = RS.

*BO of 2 (bobble of 2) = leaving the last 2 lps from each st on the hook, work 2 dc into one st or sp, yo & pull through all 3 lps. (I have a video tutorial for a bobble of 2 here...).

TIP: If you don’t have a ring, simply ch 12 & sl st join to first ch to made to complete the circle.

     rnd 1:  make a slip knot – sc attach to the ring, ch 2. Now working around the ring – BO of 2 for a total of 36 times (OR if using a thicker yarn, dc 36 instead), sl st join to the first BO/dc of this rnd, ch 1 (36 sts). *The BO sts make it so you can add more sts around the ring (effectively hiding it from view) and still keep the star flat.

     rnd 2:  [sc, sk 1 st, dc, (tr, ch 5, sl st in 3rd ch from hook, ch 2, tr) into next st of rnd, dc, sk 1 st] rep around for a total of 6 times, sl st join to first st of this rnd (6 star points). *The sl st in 3rd ch from hook creates a picot.

     rnd 3:  ch 11, sl st in 3rd ch from hook, ch 2, trtr in the same first st as the ch 11, *[**dtr in next st of rnd, ch 4, sl st in next st of rnd, ch 3, sk ch-2-sp, sc in the top of the picot, ch 3, sk ch-2-sp, sl st in the next st of rnd, ch 4, dtr in next st of rnd,** (trtr, ch 5, sl st in 3rd ch from hook, ch 2, trtr) in next st of rnd] x 2,* rep from ** to **, (trtr, ch 33, sl st in 30th ch & next ch from hook, ch 2, trtr) in the next st of rnd, rep from * to *, rep from ** to **, sl st join to the top of the first trtr of this rnd, ch 1, f/o (6 star points). *The ch 11 counts as a trtr + ch 5.
​

Weave in all ends. Depending on your preference, you may want to block or starch your star to keep the points from curling inwards. Simply follow your favourite method or leave it as is, and you’re done!
