Stitch up a string of shooting stars for your craft room with Frank & Olive’s crochet star pattern. Whether you’re making these sweet stars for the Christmas tree, New Year DIY party decorations or simple some sparkly desk decor, we guarantee you’ll be getting compliments on them left, right and centre! Change up the colour of these crochet stars to match your theme and settle down for a creative evening. If you know your chain from your treble crochet you’ll have no problem hooking these up in one evening and you’re new to the world of crochet don’t worry you can still make them. We have crochet for beginners guide which will teach you all the techniques you’ll need for this crochet star garland so you can make them for all your friends and family.

Ruby also shows you how to make the stars separately meaning you don’t have to turn them into a garland! Use the individual crochet stars as present tags, Christmas tree decorations or even earrings.  Turn them into Christmas jumper embellishments or even coasters. You really can turn Ruby’s crochet star garland into anything. Once you’ve crocheted your little stars check out our free crochet Christmas decorations for more festive tutorials.
