Great! Here is a step-by-step tutorial so you can make the exact same starburst pattern in your photo.

🌟 STARBURST (SUNBURST) CROCHET STITCH – FULL DETAILED TUTORIAL

This stitch is made from elongated puff stitches worked in 5 locations to form each “flower”.

---

🧶 MATERIALS

• Medium (#4) yarn (or any yarn you like)
• Hook recommended for your yarn
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle

---

🧵 STEP 1 — Foundation Row

You must start with:

➤ Chain: multiple of 4 + 1

Examples:

• 25 + 1
• 32 + 1
• 40 + 1

Why?
Each starburst uses 4 base stitches.

So let’s say you chain 33 (8 starbursts wide).

---

🪡 STEP 2 — Row 1 (Single Crochet Row)

This row gives you a solid base.

1. Insert hook in 2nd chain from hook, make 1 single crochet (SC).
2. SC in every chain across.
3. Turn work.

You should now have a neat SC row.

---

🌼 STEP 3 — Row 2 (First Row of Starbursts)

Each starburst uses 5 loops pulled up from different places.

⭐ HOW TO MAKE 1 STARBURST

You will pull up long loops from 5 positions, then close them into one big puff.

Loop 1:

Insert hook into same stitch, pull up a long loop.

Loop 2:

Insert into next stitch, pull up a long loop.

Loop 3:

Insert into the next stitch, pull up a long loop.

Loop 4:

Insert into the space below, between stitches on the previous row (the SC row), pull up a long loop.

Loop 5:

Insert again in the same space, pull up another loop.

➡ You now have 6 loops on your hook (5 pulled-up + the starting loop).

Close the Starburst

• Yarn over.
• Pull through all loops together.
• Chain 1 to lock it.

This forms one complete flower.

---

🌼 STEP 4 — Continue Row 3

You start the next starburst immediately:

For the next flower:

• Loop 1 → from the closing chain
• Loop 2 → from next stitch
• Loop 3 → from next stitch
• Loop 4 → from the “gap” between starbursts
• Loop 5 → again from the same gap
• Close + chain 1

Repeat to the end of the row.

Turn your work.

---

🌿 STEP 5 — Row 3 and all following rows

From now on, every new flower is anchored in the spaces between the flowers below.

For each new starburst:

1. Insert in closing chain of previous row (pull up loop).
2. Insert into next stitch (pull up loop).
3. Insert into next stitch (pull up loop).
4. Insert into the space between flowers below (pull up loop).
5. Insert again in the same space (pull up loop).
6. Yarn over → pull through all loops.
7. Chain 1.

Continue to the end.

Repeat this row as many times as you want.

📌 IMPORTANT TIPS FOR SUCCESS

✔ Pull all loops to equal height for perfect petals
✔ Use a soft twist yarn so the flowers look full
✔ Do not tighten the “closing chain” too much
✔ If you want a thicker texture, use bulkier yarn
