Star directions

The write up I promised yesterday - then on to making my motif for today.

The star is pretty easy.  I've made several for our Christmas Tree and I've used it as a starfish before too.





Start with a sliding loop
ch 1
15 sc in loop
join with slip stitch first sc

each point is worked and then rejoined to the circle just made before the next point is started

ch6
sc in 2nd chain from hook
half double crochet
double crochet
double crochet
triple crochet

skip two stitches on circle and slip stitch in 3rd stitch.  

Do this 4 more times and you'll have a 5 pointed star.  Each point uses 3 of the stitches on the circle, so you could easily increase it to 6 points or more by just increasing the number of sc you start with.
