Materials Needed:
Before diving into the instructions, gather the following materials:
– Crochet hook (size G/4.00mm)

Step 1: Chain Stitch
Begin by making a slip knot and chaining 5 loops on your hook. This will create the starting chain for your star.
Step 2: First Row – Single Crochet
Now, work into the first chain by making a single crochet (sc) in the second chain from the hook. Continue to sc in each chain until you reach the end of the row. You should have 5 scs in total. Do not turn your work.
Step 3: Second Row – Double Crochet
Turn your work and chain 1. Then, make a double crochet (dc) in the same stitch as the previous row. Continue to dc in each sc until you reach the end of the row. You should have 5 dc in total.
Step 4: Third Row – Chain 1, Single Crochet
Chain 1 and then sc in the same stitch as the previous row. Continue to sc in each dc until you reach the end of the row. You should have 5 scs in total.
Step 5: Fourth Row – Double Crochet
Turn your work and chain 1. Make a dc in the same stitch as the previous row. Continue to dc in each sc until you reach the end of the row. You should have 5 dc in total.
Step 6: Fifth Row – Chain 1, Single Crochet
Chain 1 and then sc in the same stitch as the previous row. Continue to sc in each dc until you reach the end of the row. You should have 5 scs in total.
Step 7: Finishing Touches
Now, you should have a completed star shape. To finish, weave in the loose ends using a yarn needle. You can also add a loop at the top of the star for hanging or attaching it to other items.
