12 Free Crochet Star Patterns
As I’ve said before, I’m celebrating motifs of all shapes and sizes as part of Granny Square Month, and the star is one of my favorites. Unlike many other shapes like hexagons, circles, octagons, and squares, there is no set number of sides or points for a crochet star pattern. Today’s collection includes crochet star patterns with different numbers of points and with soft points and peaked points, as well as an array of project types.
- Eastern Star by Underground Crafter: This lacy, 6-point star makes a great appliqué or ornament and links to instructions for an easy, no-sew felt-backed ornament version.
- Twinkle Blanket via Lion Brand: This 12-point star blanket pattern is available as a free PDF download with sign in.
- Star Blanket by Amy’s DIY Frugal Life: This 6-point star blanket pattern includes written instructions and a video.
