Crochet: Star stitch pattern – in the round

In this DROPS video we work 25LOOSE ch and form a ring with 1 sl st in first ch.
ROUND 1: Work ch 3, pick up 5 sts, beg in 2nd ch from hook (= 6 sts on hook), make a YO and pull through all 6 sts, work 1 ch to make a hole over the 6 sts, * pick up 1 st in the hole, pick up 1 st in the side on the last of the 6 sts, pick up 1 st in same ch as the last of the 6 sts was picked up in, 1 st in each of the 2 next ch (= 6 sts on hook), make a YO and pull through all 6 sts, 1 ch *, repeat from *-* 11 times in total, finish with 1 sl st in 3rd ch at beg of round.
ROUND 2: ch 2, work 2 hdc in each "star hole", finish round with 1 sl st in 2nd ch at beg of round = 12 stars.
ROUND 3: ch 3, pick up 1 st in 2nd and 3rd ch from hook, 1 st in the back loop of the first 3 hdc 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 on the last of the 6 sts, 1 st in the back loop of the same hdc as the last of the 6 sts was picked up in, 1 st in the back loop of each of the 2 hdc (= 6 sts on hook), make a YO and pull through all 6 sts, 1 ch *, repeat from *-* 11 times in total, finish with 1 sl st in 3rd ch at beg of round.
Repeat from round 2 and 3 to the desired length. (If you want you can sew a few stitches in the transition between row 3 and 2, if you think the holes are too large). To see a pattern with this technique, go to: DROPS 156-9
