This year I am determined to cover our Christmas tree with crocheted ornaments!
There's something so fun about being able to design each and every decoration differently, yet still be left with a beautifully balanced tree.
4.50mm Crochet Hook
20g DK Yarn {8ply}
Scissors
Tapestry/Wool Needle
Twine
Finished Size
Approximately 4 inches x 4 inches
Colours
{This is the list of colours I used}
Christmas Red

Round 1~ Taking your 4.50mm crochet hook and christmas red DK yarn, start of by making a Slip Knot, then crochet 3 Chains. *Crochet 1 Puff Stitch into the first chain you made. Chain 2. Repeat from the * 4 more times. Slip Stitch into the top of the first puff stitch. You should have 5 puff stitches now.
Round 2~ Change yarn colour to snow white. Chain 2. Turn your work so that the front of your star is now facing backwards.
Crochet 2 Double Crochets into the "chain 2" space made in the previous round. Chain 2. Crochet 3 Double Crochets into the same "chain 2" space. *Chain 1. Crochet 3 Double Crochets, 2 Chains and 3 Double Crochets in the next "chain 2" space. Repeat from the * 3 more times. Chain 1. Slip Stitch into the top of chain 2.
Round 3~ Change yarn colour to christmas red. *Chain 1. In the "chain 2" space from the previous round, crochet 1 Double Crochet, 1 Triple Crochet, 1 Double Triple Crochet, 1 Chain, 1 Double Triple Crochet, 1 Triple Crochet and 1 Double Crochet. Chain 1, then Slip Stitch into "chain 1" space made in the previous round. Repeat from the * all around. Slip Stitch into the first chain made in this round.
Round 4~ Change yarn colour to forest green. Chain 1. Crochet 1 Single Crochet into every stitch all around. {Note: When you get to the top of each star point, crochet 1 Single Crochet, 2 chains and then crochet 1 Single Crochet into the same stitch.} Slip Stitch into chain 1.
Fasten off, and weave in loose ends.
Now attach a piece of twine to the top of the star so that you can hang it on your Christmas tree.
Hope you all enjoyed this Christmas-y pattern!
