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.

Bonjour Alicia, les étoiles (*) délimitent les parties que l'on doit répéter, quand on lit: répétez de *-*, commencez à nouveau à la première * et terminez à l'étoile suivante. Bon crochet!

Dag Riet, Hoeveel steken je nodig hebt, staat bovenaan bij de video; je hebt minimaal 7 steken nodig en voor iedere ster extra, doe je er 2 steken bij. Succes!

21.12.2017 - 15:14Beste, 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.
09.11.2017 - 11:59Bonjour, je cherche comment faire une augmentation et une diminution du point étoile s'il vous plait? Merci de votre aide
15.05.2016 - 09:40DROPS Design :
Bonjour Calou, pour augmenter, augmentez dans le rang de dB - voir le tour de cou - et/ou diminuez des dB pour avoir le nbe d'étoiles voulues. Bon crochet!
17.05.2016 - 12:04Hallo, ik wil een omslagdoek haken met af en toe een rij sterretjes ertussen. Hoe kan ik met deze steek meerderen?
31.01.2016 - 13:47DROPS 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.

I really love this pattern and work with it some time now but I'm really curious how you make the edging. Where do you SC on the 'waves' of the star? Is there any video for that?
