Meet Me At Mikes Good Stuff Guide

Crochet Some Stars You need: A 3 or 3.5mm crochet hook Some yarn in your favourite colours (4 or 8ply – DK or Baby Yarn) Scissors A yarn needle with a big eye Something good on telly PVA glue clean tea towel Let’s go: Chain 6 stitches and join with a slip stitch to form a ‘ring’.

Then: chain 3 : crochet 17 treble stitches into the ring. Slip stitch the final stitch to the top of the ‘chain 3’ to form a round.

Chain 8 stitches. *Double crochet one stitch into the third chain from the hook.

Half treble one stitch into the next chain stitch.

Treble crochet into the next TWO stitches Double treble into the next TWO stitches That’s your ‘point’ done!

Skip two stitches and slip stitch into the next to ‘anchor’ the point.* Repeat pattern between stars until you have SIX points on your star.

Bingo! Fasten off and use a yarn needle to stitch your loose yarn end in, so that you can’t see it.

Stiffen your stars (so they don’t curl up!) by mixing equal parts water and PVA glue. Saturate your star in this mix, wring out excess gently and then lay it out neatly on a clean tea towel to dry overnight.

Hang with fishing line, ribbon or wire.

Felice Navidad!
