Stitch Key
Ch: Chain
Sl st: Slip Stitch
mr: Magic ring, (please, see **special stitches** at bottom of page)
To make:
1) Make a mr,
2) (Ch 2, Sl st into 2nd Ch from the hook, Sl st into mr) 5 x's for 5 point star.
Pull tail gently but firmly and securely closed.
Note; Make sure the tail is pulled tightly with no hole in the center, you may feel a slight pop as it untwist to pull out slack. Do not pull too tightly, though, as this can break the yarn.
Weave the center end first, incase it does break, then weave the last used end into beg Ch 1 sp, this helps connect that stitch and shape your star. Give points of the star a little tug for shape.
**Special Stitches**
Magic ring: Holding yarn between thumb and first 2 fingers on left hand, wrap yarn around first 2 fingers so the yarn falls to the back and furthest away from you, insert the hook between these 2 fingers and under the top strand, grabbing second, hanging strand next to it with your hook and pull yarn through the loop. Make a chain, and begin the pattern, working in the circle around the tail of the yarn. For closing, untwist the tail from the loop, join before pulling tightly closed, pull gently but firmly, closing slack in the center of the circle.
