- Mag­ic Ring: We’ll start with a mag­ic ring, also known as a mag­ic cir­cle, to cre­ate the star’s cen­ter.
- Slip Stitch (sl st): This is a basic cro­chet stitch used to join, secure, or tran­si­tion to the next part of your project.
- Sin­gle Cro­chet: Mas­ter sin­gle cro­chet to cre­ate the bod­ies of your stars.
- Foun­da­tion Chain: Begin with a foun­da­tion chain, and remem­ber to leave a long tail for attach­ing the stars to your fin­ished item.
- Star Points: Learn how to cro­chet the star points for a five-point­ed star.
