crochet sequin star christmas decoration

Waiting for a star to fall…

  • November 10, 2017March 6, 2020

…And carry your heart into my arms… that’s where you belong in my arms baby yeah…

Okay.  I got that out of my system so lets get into the second of my festive patterns I talked about last week with the release of the Christmas Pudding Beanie Hats.

This week I introduce the Twinkle Twinkle Star.

I know it’s a little early to trim the tree but these cute sparkly 3D star ornaments are so fun and quick to make that they make great gifts for when people start getting their trees out.  Plus they are great stash-busters!

I actually came up with this pattern a few years back but it never made it further than the scribbles in my first ever pattern note book.  So I’ve blown off the fairy dust, had a little rework and as if by magic…

I am definitely channelling magic, fairies, glitter and all things sparkly (and twinkly of course) this week.  I am so thankful that I can finally see a pin prick sized light at the end of my renovations tunnel and yesterday my friend came round and bought me a two mugs as a kitchen warming present… you know when someone just knows what you like…

Could these be any more ‘me’??  I’m drinking out the the one on the left as I write!

I’m digressing but I had to share those with you as I love them so much!

I’ve had a little shift about on the blog since I first wrote this post, so you can find the full crochet pattern here

For a small amount, you can also purchase an add free, printable PDF download of this pattern from Ravelry or Etsy stores.  This contains the written pattern and a separate photo tutorial.

Without wanting to miss the chance for a little yarn perving, here’s a little collection of all the metallics I had to play with for this project. Isn’t sparkly yarn the best!

As always, please do tag me in any pictures you share of your makes on Facebook or Instagram using the #HookMeHappy

Before I go, I just thought I would share one little extra photo with you.  I pulled up my old carpet this week to make way for the aforementioned new floor… but before I did I indulged myself by cutting it up a little… because when else am I going to get the chance to vandalise a carpet?

And I did!!

Happy Hooking
