Crocheting is easy as you are just making a chain stitch with a hook. These stars would be a great way to learn. Check out some how to crochet videos on YouTube and give them a go!

SusieQOH ... Sure you do!!!!!!!!!!!
It really is not hard. Actually pretty mindless, once you catch on.

IrishGalFromNJ ... very nicely done with the crochet cotton.
Your idea of using jute will make for a nice rustic twist is a great one.
As an American, that will give you one terrific patriotic tree garland!! Or for any time of the year!

Thanks for sharing. I just might make a bunch for my tree.

BTW ... how did you interpret her "puff stitch"??
I'm thinking yo hook so many times and then sc to close it off ..... or am I off track?? Thanks!

QuiteE, I had to look at a tutorial for the puff stitch, you start with a dc but you don't finish it, you leave two loops on the hook and start another dc, don't finish that one and you have three loops on the hook, start one more dc, don't finish it and you have four loops on the hook, yarn over and pull through all four loops and sc to close it off.

Your stars are very cute.

I use to crochet, gave it up to quilt all the time. Gave my yarn and hooks to oldest Daughter. I still have tons of croghet threads.

Those are so cute and very nicely done.

I have made a few of these and added to gift packages, then they have an ornament to hang on the tree

Thanks IrishGalFrom NL ... what I was thinking, just better worded!
I've done it with assorted # of partly done DCs ... guess depends on how much puff one wants!!

Have the crochet hook, but need to get the cotton.
Will be a good mindless project while watching those mindless Hallmark movies!!
