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.

MAKING AND ATTACHING THE FACE

a beige felt oval — 2. Cut an oval out of the rectangle.
