You can use this pattern for so many different things. You can connect them to make a scarf by single crocheting along the edging, or you can use the join-as-you-go method to create an afghan! I was looking for a star motif pattern and just could not find anything that I liked, so I did it myself.
Materials:
- 2 colors worsted weight yarn
- Size I Crochet hook.
Gauge: Not critical, but you can increase or decrease the hook size if you want a larger or smaller star. This one measures about 7 inches from the tip of the left arm to the tip of the right arm.
Round 1: With first color, ch 5, join with sl st in first ch to form a loop, ch 1, 25 sc in loop, join with sl st to first sc.

Stitched In Love Crocheting 
Beautiful! You can use this on a headband, instead of a flower!
Love it!

This is soo cute! Tks for the details. Will def make it! 🙂
Is this the same pattern that you used for the baby blanket? I’ve been crocheting since I was seven (23 years now), and I feel stupid asking this, but what is the “join as you go method”? I’m making blankets for twin girls who have requested me to make one for them, and I think that they’d love this, just not sure how to go about it … Do you just continue on with more rounds?? or attach multiple stars together?
Thanks so much!
No, it’s not the same pattern as the baby blanket. Joining as you go depends on what you are working on. But in this case, you would make the next star the same way up until the last round. You would work around to the last two points and join those two points to a point on the previous star made with a slip stitch. continue this for one row to the lenght you want, and on the next row, join to the previous row too. I’ll do a post of it eventually, but I don’t have anything I’m working on with this right now.
Thanks so much for your explanation! I look forward to seeing your eventual post on this in the future. :o)
