Crochet Tiny Star Pattern

 Tiny ⭐ Star

Free crochet pattern for 

Tiny Star

This tiny crochet star works up in a flash to make several for appliqués. 

Written by Doily Designs, Cathleen Wake Gorbatenko ©2021

Written in US terms
Skill: Easy

Yarn: Most any yarn will work, a very small amount (approximately 1 yd a star)

Hook: E (4 - 3.5mm)

Gauge: not crucial

(Try different size hooks and yarns for different size stars. Note that the 1st three pictures are cotton yarn, and the 4th picture is acrylic ww yarn.)

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.

Please, convo if you have questions or comments.

Tiny Star would make a great addition to the new Small Crochet American Flag Heart Plush Pillow!
