Who doesn’t love stars? Think of all the times you have admired the stars in the night sky or doodled stars in your notebook.
There’s just something about stars that inspires creativity and puts me in a playful mood. I hope you feel the same way! So why not crochet a star!
If you are new to crochet and you love learning and playing around with new crochet stitches and shapes, then this is the post for you!

1. Starfish Washcloth
I love the simplicity of this starfish washcloth design. This easy design uses just single crochet, double crochet and chain stitches. You’ll be working in the round from the center out.
Add this cute cloth to an under-the-sea themed Easter basket or gift a set of to the ocean lover in your life. Maybe with some fancy soap!

4. 6 Point Star Baby Lovey
I don’t know about you, but in my world it seems like there’s always someone having a baby. I love to have fast and easy baby crochet patterns on hand – just in case. This design uses single and double crochet stitches and features a picot stitch border. The cute bunny is perfect for Easter but you could also switch it up with the animal of your choice!

5. Star Hook Case
Here’s the simplest crochet hook case you’ll ever make – it’s basically a rectangle with ties. There are no pockets and no sewing, so how does it work? The secret is in the stitch! The hooks go through the natural holes that the star stitches make. Make one to keep and one to gift to your crochet bestie!

6. Star Bright Purse
To make a purse out of a star, you need a surface with no holes! This clever little design uses basic stitches of various heights to shape the star rather than using chain stitches. Add eyes and a smile for a classic cartoon look or mix it up with different colors. You could even get really wild with tassels or fringe!
If you have a little girl in your life, she will love this pattern for a crochet star purse. Perfect to put all of her little important items inside.

9. Oh My Stars Crochet Scarf
Bright colors and fantastic textures make me think of spring! This design uses puff stitch clusters to replicate beautiful and squishy stars all in a row. The stitchwork also reminds me of flowers. Make a dent in your scraps bin and mix this design up with lots of different colors!

10. Crochet Granny Star
This pattern is from across the pond, so note that when they say “treble crochet” they’re referring to a US double crochet. Apart from that, this is the best and most detailed tutorial I could find on how to make a granny stitch star. You guys know how much I love all things granny! You can use this technique to make anything from washcloths to blankets.
Think there is so much potential with this pattern. How about a crochet star blanket or pillow. What will you make with this simple pattern?
