Rnd 1

Ch 2 (does not count as a stitch).
Make 10 dc in the magic ring.
Sl st to the first dc to join.
(10 dc)

$1dcinthenextst,2dcinthenextst$.
Rep 4 times.

1 dc in the last st.
Sl st to the top of the beginning ch 3.
(15 dc)

📌 This creates 5 clusters of 3 dc — the base for each star point.

Rnd 3 — Forming the Points

Ch 1. Sc in the same st.

First Point

• (1 hdc, 1 dc) in the next st

• (1 tr, ch 1, sl st in the tr, 1 tr) in the next st (peak)

• (1 dc, 1 hdc) in the next st

Valley

Skip 1 st.

Repeat for Remaining Points

For each of the remaining 4 points:

• Sc in next st

• (1 hdc, 1 dc) in next st

• (1 tr, ch 1, sl st in the tr, 1 tr) in next st (peak)

• (1 dc, 1 hdc) in next st

• Skip 1 st

Work this sequence until you have 5 total star points.

Sl st to the first sc to close the round.

Piece 1 (Front)

FO and weave in ends.

Piece 2 (Back)

Do NOT FO.

⭐ Assembly and Finishing

Place Piece 1 on top of Piece 2, aligning all five points neatly.

🔹 Joining

Using the yarn still attached to Piece 2:

Ch 1.
Sc through both layers around the entire star.

At the Peaks

At the top of each tr stitch (the point peak):
→ (sc, ch 1, sc) in the same stitch
(to keep the tip sharp)

At the Valleys

At each valley between points:
→ sc2tog (picking up the valley stitch on both pieces)

🔹 Stuffing

When about 3–4 inches (7–10 cm) remain unworked:

• Pause

• Stuff firmly with Poly-fil

• Use the back of your hook or a pencil to push stuffing into each point

Continue stitching until you reach the beginning.
Sl st to join.
FO and weave in the tail.

⭐ Hanger Loop & Bow

Hanger Loop

• Cut approx. 10 in (25 cm) of twine/jute

• Fold in half

• Thread both ends through a stitch on the top point

• Tie to form a hanging loop

Bow

• Use a shorter piece of twine

• Tie a small bow and attach it at the base of the loop

📝 Pattern Notes

• This star works beautifully in jute, but it also looks soft and cozy in cotton or acrylic.

• For larger ornaments, simply use a bulkier yarn and a matching hook.

• Keep stuffing light if you want a flatter, more “folk-art” look.

💡 Tips & Variations

To give your rustic Christmas crochet stars even more personality:

• Try white cotton yarn for a snowy farmhouse look

• Add a tiny jingle bell to the bow

• Make a garland of stars for mantels or nursery décor

• Use metallic yarn for a subtle sparkle

Small touches can transform this simple pattern into something deeply personal.

❓ FAQ (Schema Style)

Q: Can I use thicker yarn for a bigger star?

Yes! Bulky yarn will make a larger, fluffier ornament without any pattern changes.

Q: Does jute hurt the hands when crocheting?

Jute can feel rough. Take breaks, or substitute with a soft worsted yarn for comfort.

Q: Can I make this star unstuffed?

Absolutely — just crochet two flat pieces together without filling.

Q: Is this beginner-friendly?

Yes. If you know basic stitches, this is a wonderful progression project.
