Cozy Star Crochet Pattern

An adorable and easy crochet star Christmas ornament.

Grab a warm cup of cocoa, bundle up, and make this cozy star crochet pattern! This star makes the perfect Christmas crochet ornament or leave off the hanger for an amigurumi star friend. Scroll down for the video tutorial and free star crochet pattern!

The pattern uses just a small amount of worsted weight yarn, so it’s the perfect pattern for using up small balls of yarn in your stash. You can even use two strands of lightweight yarn (DK weight yarn) held together to get the same look!

FINISHED SIZE OF CROCHET STAR

My finished crochet star is 3 inches (8 cm) tall and wide when using a 3.25 mm hook and Rico Creative Cotton Aran. You can use other hook and yarn combinations to make your crochet star bigger or smaller. Just make sure your stitches are tight to avoid stuffing showing through. I wrote about yarn and hook exchanges to change the size of your amigurumi in this blog post.

4. Make a loop for ornament hanger and knot inside star. Weave in remaining yarn tail.

MAKING AND ATTACHING THE FACE

To make the star’s face, you’ll need a small piece of felt, black embroidery floss, thread that matches the color of your felt, an embroidery needle, and a sewing needle.

• • • You can also use 6 mm safety eyes instead of a felt face. Just attach them wherever you’d like on your star and embroider a tiny smile! • • • 

Small rectangle of beige felt
1. Cut a felt rectangle 1.25 inches wide by 1 inch high.
a beige felt oval
2. Cut an oval out of the rectangle.
3. Using your embroidery needle and 3 strands of embroidery floss, embroider your star’s face. Make 2 French knots for eyes and a long stitch for the mouth. Knot on back of face and gently tug mouth to make a smile.
4. Thread your sewing needle with sewing thread that matches your felt. Knot end of thread and insert at center from back of face
5. Thread needle through stitch on star.
