Crochet Star Patterns: 7 Free Designs

Stars can be made as small flat appliques, bunting, ornaments, or decorative accents. These seven free patterns use different point counts, sizes, and construction methods, so the source page matters.

1. Free Crochet Star Pattern by Annie Design Crochet

Carmen Heffernan’s star is worked in three rounds from a small ring, with six chain-6 spaces forming the points, and in fingering weight cotton on a 2.5 mm hook it measures about 3 inches across. The page has written instructions, a video tutorial, blocking advice and a free PDF at the bottom. She suggests using the stars as a classic holiday decoration or all year round, and as gifts, and she links her other star patterns, including her colorful Christmas stars. Open the pattern.

2. Free Crochet Star Pattern by Zamiguz

Maggie’s Zamiguz star is an easy five-point star in worsted weight yarn on a 3.5 mm hook, using about 12 yards per motif. It begins with 20 double crochets in a magic circle and uses seven-double-crochet shells in round two, with photos and a stitch chart. She suggests personalizing the stars with your favorite colors, using different yarn thicknesses to make different sizes, and stringing several on a jute cord as a bunting for a mantel or window. Open the pattern.

3. Crochet Star Pattern by Joy of Motion Crochet

Janne Kleivset’s star appliqué begins with five single crochets, expands to 15 stitches, and creates five chain-6 points in round three, ending with a round of slip stitches to make the star sturdier. She calls it a great leftover yarn project and a super quick one, and says you could even call it a starfish. Any yarn works with a matching hook. The pattern was last updated in April 2024.

4. Free Crochet Star Pattern by B.Hooked Crochet

B.Hooked’s star is rated easy and finishes at 4 inches wide, worked in just two rounds with about six yards of medium weight yarn and a 5 mm hook. She has used the stars as ornaments, sewn them onto baby blankets, strung them into garlands and gifted them as package toppers. The pattern is written for one size, and you change yarn weight and hook size to make it bigger or smaller. A larger hook helps reduce curling, and the page has a video and wet-blocking guidance. Open the pattern.

5. Easy Crochet Star Pattern by Crochet 365 Knit Too

Cheryl Bennett’s five-point star starts with five double crochet clusters in a chain-5 ring, then uses picots to form the points in round two. It takes 7 to 8 yards of worsted yarn and a 4 mm hook, and the finished appliqué is 3.5 inches across. She suggests using it to top a wrapped gift, as an ornament from stash yarn, or in a garland. Open the pattern.

6. Star Amigurumi by Ami Amour

Sharon’s Star Amigurumi at Ami Amour has rounded points rather than sharp ones, and it works as a stand-alone flat appliqué or you continue on to make the 3D version. She originally made it as a companion piece to her Kirby amigurumi, as his Warp Star, and suggests other uses such as star candy for a Soot Sprite amigurumi. You work two star shapes and join them back to back with a single crochet border, and stuff it. It is worked in worsted acrylic on a 5 mm hook. Open the pattern.

7. Easy Crochet Star by Stitch by Fay

Fay’s star is worked in a continuous spiral without joining: you make 6 single crochets in a magic ring, increase over the next 4 rounds to a flat circle, and then make the points in the final round using stitches of varying heights (half double, double and treble). It uses DK yarn (Paintbox Cotton DK) on a 2.5 mm hook and finishes at about 2 inches across. She suggests using it as an appliqué, adding a hanging loop for an ornament, or making a garland for holidays. There is a video. Open the pattern.
