Twinkle, Twinkle, 2-Round Star Crochet Pattern

This simple crochet star pattern makes a great embellishment for headbands, hats, or just about anything else. With only 2 rounds, it couldn’t be easier! The pattern includes instructions for a 5-pointed star and a 6-pointed star.

Any yarn or hook

You can use any yarn or thread of your choice for this star crochet pattern. Smaller threads will make tiny stars, and larger yarn will make bigger stars. Use whatever hook you are comfortable with for your chosen yarn or thread.

Washing and Blocking

Blocking is important to keep your stars from curling. Wet your finished star thoroughly, then lay it flat to dry, pinning the points into shape.

If you’re going to be sewing the star to something else, going all the way around the edge, blocking may not be entirely necessary. But it’s still helpful to keep your star nice and flat while you sew.

Stiffen your stars

Try using a commercial fabric stiffener to stiffen your stars. Simply follow the instructions on the bottle. Stiffened stars make great jewelry or ornaments! You can also use them to decorate holiday gifts.
