How To Crochet a Star Applique for Beginners

 

Star Applique


The size of the star depends on the yarn and hook you use. Creating 2 stars of different sizes and sewing them together makes a pretty, layered effect.

Materials

  • Any yarn or thread (yardage will vary based on yarn used)
  • Appropriate size hook for your yarn
  • Tapestry Needle

Project Level

Easy: Simple stitches, working in the round, shaping at star points.

Size / Gauge

Can be made with any yarn or thread and an appropriate sized hook. The stars shown are as follows:
Purple star: 4.25 inches, worsted weight yarn, H / 5mm hook.
White stars: 3 inches, worsted weight yarn, G / 4 mm hook.
Red stars: 2 inches, DK weight yarn, F / 3.5mm hook.

Abbreviations used

(Pattern is written in US terms)
ch = chain
sc = single crochet
hdc = half double crochet
dc = double crochet
st(s) = stitch(es)
sl st = slip stitch
sk = skip
rnd = round

Instructions


Rnd 1 (center circle): Ch 6, sl st in 6th ch from hook, (ch 5, sl st in same ch) 3 times, ch-2, dc in same ch. (5 loops)

Rnd 2 (points): (Ch 5, sl st in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next ch, hdc in next ch, dc in last ch, sl st in next loop from rnd 1) 5 times, working the last sl st into the same loop as the beginning of the round. (5 points)

Rnd 3 (edging): [(Ch 1, sl st in next st) 4 times along edge of star point, ch 3, (ch 1, sl st in next st) 4 times down opposite edge of star point, back to center circle, sk next sl st] 5 times, join with sl st to first ch.

Fasten off, leaving long tails for sewing if needed.

For a layered star, make 2 stars of different sizes and sew them together.

When done sewing pieces together, weave in any remaining ends.


I hope you enjoy making this pattern.

Try stripes or color blocks to give this basic stitch a little something extra. 2. Shell Stitch These are great for more than just  edging a blanket  — we’re big fans of using an allover shell pattern to stitch up a quick blanket.
