Simple Star Garland

I had the idea for making this Simple Star Garland last year during my markets, but somehow got sidetracked and had 7 small stars lying around for over a year waiting to be finished. So I decided this year that as this is the first year I’m spending Christmas in my (now not so new) flat in Edinburgh, I would finish the garlands for myself to decorate my window. One thing led to another and the Star Garlands got interspersed with garlands with my Mini Starburst Snowflakes and Starburst Mini Me Snowflakes – all in off-white and silver grey – and I’m very pleased with the result.

Simple Star Garland

The beauty of making your own is that you can adapt the length of the garland and the number of stars to fit your own windows. I made my garlands around 90 cm and put 5 stars or snowflakes on them. I made my stars and garland with 3-ply linen yarn using a 2 mm hook, which makes them small and very fine, but any yarn can be used. They still need blocking once they’re made as they tend to curl, but depending on what yarn you use they may not need stiffening. If they do, I would recommend brushing a mixture of PVA glue and water on the back. The mixture will keep well in a small sealed jar, so you can make lots so you don’t have to make it every time you want to stiffen something.

I give the pattern below in both UK and US terms – you can find a guide to the abbreviations on my page Crochet Terms. Please remember that this is my design and my copyright – feel free to use the pattern for yourself, but please do not claim or publish it as yours. I’d appreciate it if you credit me as the designer if you post pictures or sell what you make online – thanks!
