Christmas crochet pattern ESTRELLA

DescriptionFancy Christmas crochet pattern and beautiful Christmas decoration for indoors and outdoors. The Christmas Star “ESTRELLA” is created from a crocheted, five-pronged star motif and 5 branches tied together to a star. The branches do not have to be quite straight, on the contrary, the more knobbed, the fancier your star will be. Let yourself be inspired by my photos on Instragram: Mallorca_made_Crochet.The thicker the yarn used, the larger the crocheted star becomes. If you use a thicker yarn than that I propose you might have to adjust the length of the branches accordingly. In this case, you simply use longer branches and place your crocheted star in the middle (without attaching it) before you tie the branches together. In this way you can estimate the size of the branch star and cut off excess branch ends when the star tips are tied together. I will explain how to do join the branches on the last page of this pattern.This pattern is suitable for beginners.If you are looking for more Christmas crochet patterns, please have a look at my Starflower Dreamcatcher crochet pattern.You should be familiar with these US crochet stitches (UK terms):single crochet/sc (double crochet/dc), double crochet/dc (treble crochet/tr), chain stitch/ch, slip stitch/slst (single crochet/sc).
