Crochet Star Stitch Tutorial
How to Crochet a Star Stitch:
-
Chain an even number of chain stitches and add 1.
-
In the second chain from the hook, insert your hook and pull up a loop.
-
Go to the next chain from the hook, insert, and pull up a loop.
-
Repeat Step 3 until you have 6 loops on your hook.
Note: You want to keep the loops loose. Tug on them a bit each time you add one to make sure they are aligned and aren't tight against the hook. -
Yarn over and pull through all 6 loops.
-
To set that, chain 1.
-
When you chained 1, you created a little hole. Insert your hook into the hole, or the eye of your star, and pull up.
Note: Again, while you make loops, tug on them so that they aren't tight on the hook. -
Your next stitch will be in between the posts of the last 2 loops that you pulled up in that star previously. Yarn over and pull up a loop (you will have three loops on the hook).
-
Your next stitch (fourth loop) will be where you worked last in the chain, insert your hook and pull up a loop.
-
Repeat Step 9 in the next 2 available stitches (to create the fifth and sixth loops).
-
Yarn over and pull through all 6 loops, as you did in Step 5.
-
Chain 1/yarn over and pull up to set.
-
Repeat Steps 7–12 for as many star stitches as your pattern calls for.
