Well, I don't know if this helps, but an 8 pointed star has 45 degree angles, not 60, a six pointed star uses 60 degrees (360/8 = 45, 360/6 = 60). I looked at the pattern and don't see 60 degrees anywhere, Where do they refer to 60 degrees??? I haven't used this exact pattern, but I've made this star with this technique. Maybe cut a few strips of scrap fabric or paper to see how it goes together.
