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? 😊

Time to share a few more photos of the squares I made for a cushion for a friend… I do love this combination and might have to play with colours again soon. Pattern is on my blog. ‘Oh lovely spring, are all these flowers for our delight…?’ 🎵🎶🎵 Whatever their ultimate purpose, delightful they are! After the rain…. My website is now all tidied up and up to date and I wrote a blog post about my ‘Friends Around The World Blanket’ as well. You can find links to the patterns on my blog and guide to how I evened out the size differences. You can find it on Saraphir dot com… meta are still blocking me and I can’t find my way around their systems. 😕 You can also check out all the cals on @calcrochetalong I meant to do my work today…. But the cherry blossom is out! Happy Sunday everyone! Hope you’re having a lovely day wherever you are. I’ve spent the morning starting much needed tidying up of my website. This means going through all the posts and making sure all the links are up to date, my name is right and the format is the same. Happy Earth Day. ♥️ I loved these tapestries by @cindysherman at @arosartmuseum in Aarhus. Such incredible detail in the weaving and the thread is unbelievably thin… amazing skill by the weavers. A few more photos of my latest cushion cover…
