Crochet Lace Star

by saraphir
Follow me

I made this Crochet Lace Star pattern when I started making my snowflake patterns. It was intended to be a snowflake, but then I got to the last round it really wanted to be a star, so I tried that. I also made it as a snowflake, but it works much better as a star, so I decided to stick with that! I make them as Christmas decorations for the Christmas tree or a bare branch decorating a table etc. You can also hang three on a string and put it in the window – they look beautiful when they catch the light. I use 3-ply and 2-ply linen yarn for making mine as linen has a lovely rustic look and holds its shape well, but any yarn can be used. The grey one below is made with Scheepjes Catona – a 4-ply 100% cotton yarn.

The pattern is available below in both UK and US terms. There is a brief guide to abbreviations on the page Crochet Terms. You are welcome to sell what you make with this pattern, but please credit me as the designer, or, if you sell online, post a link to my pattern. You may not sell or redistribute this pattern in any way or pass it off as your own work.

      Hi there,

      Thanks for getting in touch. I checked the pattern and can’t see what you refer to. The pattern is given in both UK and US terms on the page, is it possible you by mistake switched between the two? Best wishes, Saraphir

      Hi Barbara. Thank you, that’s great to hear! I try to make my patterns as clear as possible, and it’s good to know they work for others! Do you have a photo of your piece? 😊

Things Men Have Made

Things men have made with wakened hands, and put soft life into

are awake through years with transferred touch, and go on glowing

for long years.

And for this reason, some old things are lovely

warm still with the life of forgotten men who made them.
