I have been buying cotton for a couple of years now – I hear you cough *yarn obsession* – without really making anything worth telling you about and this year I had a grand plan of making Christmas decoration, which I have actually followed through on, almost to the point of another crochet obsession…
Christmas stars! Many Crochet Christmas stars!
I found the pattern through Penny Peberdy’s blog Tea at Weasel’s which she has now moved to Violet White. Her free pattern can be found on Ravelry.
I found them a bit daunting, having not worked with cotton much and not being great at pattern reading. But I finally had a go and was really happy with the results and how easy it was.

Gorgeous Crochet Cotton Christmas Stars
I then of course had to wait until the next day to buy some ribbon but I did get to use up some of my many button from my collection!
I have been thinking of gifting them someone along with Christmas cards or presents. So far I have made nine and I’m about to run off and make some more…
They are gorgeous, and would look lovely hanging on a tree. What a great idea for gifts.

Hey, they look great. I love crafty things hanging off my Christmas tree. I have a few crocheted things, that other people have made of course in my collection of tree ornaments.
