Americana Crocheted Star Wall Hanging
4 Materials
With Americana colored yarn, some buttons and a wooden embellishment, you can make this star to display on your wall.
With a size J hook, chain 3 and make 2 double crochet in the first chain. Chain 1, and make 2 more doubles. Repeat 3 more times and you have 5 sets of doubles. Join with a slip stitch and chain 3.
Repeat this pattern for two more rows, making NO chains between stitches except on the 5 corners. You should have 10 stitches on this last row on all 5 sections. Break off yarn and work in.
As you do the spikes of the star, you need to not increase 1 on two rows. In other words, if you last row was say - 8, make the next row 8 too, but chaining one and then not making your first single crochet in that one, but the next one.
Then it will match the pentagon shape for the center.
When all five spikes are done, work all the tails into the back and clip. You can tape them down with masking tape or spot glue them. As long as they don't show, you are good.
I used tan thread to "sew" the buttons on to make them look authentic. Then glue them on at the tips of your spikes, keeping in mind they will show off better if they are a different color than the yarn.
