Teeny Crochet Stars

I've been feeling really upbeat and festive this week, and I've got the Little People to thank for it I'm sure. Their enthusiasm for decking the halls as soon as we turned the calendar into December seemed to light something up inside me and I'm LoViNg all the colour we have going on here as a result. Sparkle too, oh, I am LoViNg the glittery bits very much indeed.

Inspired by the tree and all the festive decs, I bought some new yarn - this is Ricorumi Lamé DK, the cutest little 10g balls designed to work alongside their current cotton Ricorumi range. It's deliciously sparkly, and although it feels a bit on the rough side, the prettiness more than makes up for the scratchy factor. 

The above ten shades of Ricorumi formed part of the bespoke colour palette I created for my French crochet retreats earlier this year. They are very "me" and I adore them. When I decided to make some teeny stars for a garland, they were the colours I immediately reached for....

....and this is what came off my hook. A super cute 3 cm star, worked on a 3.5mm hook. It took mere minutes to make, and the resulting satisfaction was really rather high. After working for so many months on my Dahlia blankets, it's been a delightful change of pace to work on small things at speed. Such fun! Once I'd finessed the pattern (it came out of my head very spontaneously), I scribbled it down on paper and immediately reached for the sparkle......

.....awwwww!!!!! These little diddy stars came out smaller than the cotton version, measuring just 2.5cm across. I can't honestly say I liked working with the lamé (it's a tad splitty) but just look at them?! So festive and cutesome.

Being that this pattern is so easy and quick, I wasn't sure whether it was worth making a tutorial, but I did it anyways. You see, when I get excited about making something, my immediate thought is to share it with you, so that's what I'm doing.........and the pattern is all ready for you........yipppeeee!!!

Hoping you might find a use for these dinky little stars....

....I've strung a few onto a thin golden thread and hung them along my mantel, but this is only temporary. I'm working on a Festive Garland and have been making lots of stars for it today, I'm using Stylecraft Special DK and I can't wait to show you what I've been up to. 

I'm so excited by it, and there is nothing better than a happy Creative Buzz. More soon (I'll have another tutorial for you soon too).

Lucy these are sooo gorgeous. Please can you share your colour choices of the 10 ricorumi shades that you showed a photo of, please:)

Hi Lucy, love your crochet patterns and these teeny tiny stars are no exception :) My fave is the ripple blanket :)
This question has probably been asked a thousand times before but here's me asking it for the 1001st time lol. Is it ok to make items from your patterns and then sell the items so long as credit goes to you as the designer? I know it's a vexed question in the crafting world. If it's not ok, it's totally cool. I'd rather ask and get a no, than do something that was not appropriate :)
Many, many thanks,
Anne :)

This is so spooky! I was just making a Christmas tree chocolate orange cover, and needed a star for the top. I said to myself, "Attic24 is bound to have one", so here I am, and there it was! No need even to search, it was your most recent post! Thank you and have a lovely Christmas!

[Kate]

Your stars are beautiful! Thank you for the how-to.

[Sara J Ruppel]

Hi Lucy! I am really looking forward to our 3rd CAL together, especially since my daughter’s name is Dahlia!

I have a suggestion for you - now that you have many blanket patterns, I was wondering if you could post or create a document that pulls together images of each pattern so we can see them all side by side. I ask this because I am at a point where I would like to be able to mix and match the patterns with different yarn packs but currently I have no way to easily see the patterns together.

I hope this makes sense! Wishing you and yours the very best in the new year. Thank you for bringing such light and happiness to our community.

I love them, thank you! There's even time before Christmas to make a little garland

[Tonia]

The stars look gorgeous! I think I may have to create some to fill the gaps on the Christmas tree. I did that with pompoms one year - surprisingly effective, although I'm not sure they'd survive the cats this year, especially as the one has a fetish for all things woolly!

[Mary W]

I adore the tiny stars! They will look good meandering through my bookshelves, around the bathroom mirror, and I plan to make a batch to put in an old glass jar just to add some magic to my mantle - with tiny lights inside, of course. THANK you for this amazing, quick, and wonderful surprise. Merry Christmas to you and to your family! You are probably way to young to remember a very popular song years ago by Perry Como called Catch a Falling Star and put it in your pocket, save it for a rainy day. That is what I'll be humming while I crochet.

[Sarah]

So tiny and sweet! Love these! I think these would be great for using up the last little bits of yarn and tying to a gift package for decoration. Thank you for sharing the idea and pattern.

[Linda Solaiman]

So Cute! thank you Lucy. xx

[Susan Randle]

Beautiful as always Lucy. So inspiring.xxx

[Angela- Southern USA]

The teeny tiny stars are cute,I look forward to seeing the finished garland. I've been busy hooking up festive things as well, a few small stockings and some jar cozies. I have a ripple blanket I need to finish for a Christmas present as well as a couple of pair of knitted socks. (I never seem to start soon enough.) ;O Happy festive hooking! xxxxxxxxxxx

[CJ]

Oh so pretty, especially with the tiny lights. I'm really looking forward to seeing your garland, I know you won't disappoint. CJ xx

[Camcas]

Would look cute decorating gifts
