- SC into the magic ring: Insert the hook into the magic ring, yarn over, pull through (2 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through both loops.
- Ch 1: Yarn over and pull through the loop.
- DC into the magic ring:
- Yarn over, insert the hook into the magic ring, yarn over, pull through (3 loops on hook).
- Yarn over, pull through the first two loops (2 loops remain on hook).
- Yarn over and pull through the remaining two loops.
- Ch 2: Yarn over and pull through the loop twice.
- Turn the work slightly to identify the third back loop from the hook.
- SC into the third back loop: Insert the hook into the third back loop, yarn over and pull through (2 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through both loops.
- Ch 1: Yarn over and pull through the loop.
- SC into the magic ring: Insert the hook into the magic ring, yarn over, pull through (2 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through both loops.
- Pull the stitches tightly to shape the star.
Remaining Petals:
Repeat the following steps for each of the remaining petals (four times):
- Ch 1
- DC into the magic ring
- Ch 2
- Turn the work to identify the third back loop.
- SC into the third back loop
- Ch 1
- SC into the magic ring
- Pull the stitches tightly after each repetition.
Finishing the Star:
- After completing all the petals, pull the tail end to close the magic ring and secure the star’s center.
- Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail.
- Use the yarn needle to thread the tail through the starting single crochet stitch and back into the last stitch, joining the circle seamlessly.
- Hide the tail by weaving it through a few stitches in the back of the star.
Key to Success:
- Use round rope yarn for durability and clarity in stitches.
- A 5mm crochet hook is recommended for a refined and consistent look.
- Start with a well-made magic ring to ensure a neat central finish.
- Follow the chain and back-loop instructions carefully for a symmetrical result.
- Adjust the star size by varying yarn tension or using thinner/thicker yarn.
