Forming the Five Points of the Star

For each star point (repeat 5 times):

Insert needle into the next stitch of the circle, picking up both loops, work 1 single crochet (sc).
In the same stitch, work 1 double crochet (dc).
Save
Chain 1.
Insert needle into the space formed by the chain of the previous round (or the indicated two loops at the tip), pull yarn through, and make 1 single crochet (sc) to close the point.

Finishing the Star

Cut yarn leaving a tail for finishing.
Use a smaller 3 mm needle to weave the tail securely through the back of the star, pulling gently to close any remaining openings in the center.
Open the yarn tail slightly, thread it onto the needle, and weave it through to hide the end inside the star body.
Tie three small knots to secure and trim excess yarn.
Optional: Add a drop of glue on knots for durability.
Save

Adding the Hanging String

Use a piece of thin string (rami, twine, jute, or metallic string).
Tie a small knot to form a loop. Cut excess string.
Using a tapestry needle, thread one end of loop through the top tip of the star only.
Secure the string inside the star by weaving the needle through a few stitches to prevent slipping.
The string forms a neat hanger for your ornament.

Tutor’s Suggestions

Use metallic thread held with yarn for a subtle sparkle. Alternatively, use just yarn for a matte finish.
Adjust needle size according to yarn thickness for best tension and stitch definition.
Ensure the magic circle is closed tightly for a neat star center.
Be gentle when tightening the yarn at the end to avoid distorting the star points.
Handmade stars can be made in various sizes by adjusting yarn weight and needle size.

Tip

For a sturdier star, weave the yarn tails inside multiple times to reinforce the points and center, making it hold shape longer when hanging or handling.

Conclusion

This crochet star ornament is a charming, versatile decoration perfect for holiday trees or as part of seasonal decor. Its sparkle and shape combine basic stitches with lovely texture, making it a rewarding quick project.
