Creative Ways To Use Your Crochet Star
Make a batch of these little pieces and decorate your room or home with them. You must admit that these crochet star decorations will look splendid as Christmas tree ornaments! So if you are bored with all the trimmings from the last season, go for this star crochet pattern.
They will also work great as crochet appliques. Add a couple of these to embellish your blanket, hat, or dress project.
Is This Crochet Star Ornament Pattern Good for Beginners?
Each of these Christmas Star Ornament pieces is worked in just three rounds, which makes them super fast to complete.
The first two rounds use mostly puff stitches, and then the pattern continues with double crochets, treble crochets, and chains. It’s a great way for beginner crocheters to practice the most basic stitches and working in rounds as well as learn some new techniques.
What Yarn Should I Use for Crochet Christmas Ornaments?
Use medium-weight yarn for a nice stitch definition. You can go for acrylics, cottons, or even wool, just like the designer of this pattern did.
When paired with a 5 mm crochet hook, your crochet Christmas star ornaments will measure approx 3.5 inches in diameter. This project is a great stash-buster, too, so this can be the perfect time to use up some of the scraps from your stash.
As regards colors, they are really up to you. You can follow the suggested ones, choose shades that match your home decor, or make them really colorful. No holds barred!
