This is a beautiful crochet star motif that appears to be made using a combination of basic stitches like chains, double crochets, and front post stitches, with color changes to highlight its design. Here’s a general guide to help you recreate it:
🧶 Materials Needed
- Light blue, pink, and gold yarn (DK or worsted weight)
- Crochet hook (size suitable for your yarn, usually 3.5mm–4.5mm)
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
⭐ Step-by-Step Crochet Star Motif Pattern
Center Flower (Light Blue)
- Magic Ring, ch 2 (counts as first dc), make 11 dc into the ring. (12 dc total)
- Sl st to the first dc to join. Fasten off or carry the yarn if continuing in next round.
Pink Petal Round
- Attach pink yarn in any dc.
- (Ch 3, 2 dc in same st, ch 3, sl st in same st) — first petal made.
- Repeat in each stitch around for a total of 12 petals.
- Sl st to join at base of the first petal.
Building the Star Points
- In between two petals, sl st to join yarn, ch 3 (counts as dc), dc in same space.
- In next space, 2 dc. Continue around, adding 2 dc in each space. Join with sl st.
- Start shaping the 5 points by skipping stitches strategically and making clusters of dc in certain stitches to create peaks. Example:
- (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in the same stitch for a point.
- Skip 2–3 stitches between each point and use sc or hdc to shape valleys.
Light Blue Overlay Lines
- Use surface slip stitch or chain stitch embroidery with light blue yarn to create the snowflake-like design connecting points and center.
Gold Border
- Join gold yarn, sc around the entire star.
- At each tip, make (sc, ch 2, sc) to keep the star shape pointed.
- Sl st to first sc and fasten off. Weave in ends.
🪡 Tips
- Block the finished motif for clean shape.
- Adjust yarn color or size for different effects (holiday decorations, coasters, appliqués).
- You can join several motifs for a blanket or bunting.
