Crochet Star Ornament

Hello friends,

Thanks for stopping by! It seems a bit early to be thinking about holiday decorations - we haven’t even reached Halloween yet. But, if you’re like me and you like to make a few ornaments each year, it’s never to early to start. Having said that, these star ornaments can easily be whipped up at the very last minute! 






Not only is this project is very quick, it’s beginner friendly and it requires very little yarn. So, it’s perfect for using up some leftover yarn. For mine, I stuck with red, with a contrasting tie in off white, but I think it would be fun to work these up in other colours. Whatever you have on hand would work!
