In this DROPS video we show how to crochet a star stitch pattern back and forth.

You start by crocheting an uneven number of chain sts.
You need a minimum of 7 ch for 1 star, 9 ch makes 2 stars, 11 ch makes 3 stars and so on. On our sample we ch 13 for 4 stars.
Row 1 (RS): pick up 5 sts starting in 2nd ch from hook = 6 sts on hook, make a yo and pull through all 6 sts, ch 1 which creates a hole on top of the 6 sts, *pick up 1 st in the hole, 1 st in the side of the last st of 6 sts, 1 st in the same ch as the last st of 6 sts was picked up in, 1 st in each of next 2 chain = 6 sts on hook, make a yo and pull through all 6 sts, ch 1*, repeat *-*. Make 1 htr in last ch.
Row 2 (WS): ch 2, work 2 htr in "each star hole", end row with 1 htr in last st.
Row 3: ch 3, pick up 1 st in 2nd and 3rd chain from hook, 1 st in first 3 sts on row = 6 sts on hook, make a yo and pull through all 6 sts, ch 1, *pick up 1 st in the hole, 1 st in the side of the last st of 6 sts, 1 st in the same st as the last st of 6 sts was picked up in, 1 st in each of next 2 sts = 6 sts on hook, make a yo and pull through all 6 sts, ch 1*, repeat *-*. Make 1 htr in last ch.
Repeat row 2 and 3 for star pattern.

Beste, Ik heb een muts gehaakt voor mijn dochtertje met deze steek. Helaas blijkt hij vanonder wat te groot te zijn waardoor ik nu steken moet gaan minderen om hem wat strakker te kunnen krijgen. Kunnen jullie mij tips geven over hoe ik steken moet minderen met deze sterrensteek? Alvast bedankt voor jullie reactie.

Hallo, ik wil een omslagdoek haken met af en toe een rij sterretjes ertussen. Hoe kan ik met deze steek meerderen?

DROPS Design :

Hoi Lieneke. Ik zou toevoegen door extra lossen te haken (7 l voor één ster, 9 voor 2 enzovoort) aan het einde van een toer en dan in volgende toer de nieuwe sterren van de lossen haken.
