Granny Star Christmas Tree Ornament - Free Pattern

Hey friends, Christmas is just around the corner, so I thought I'll bring out the Christmas mood with a little tree ornament pattern. I've tried to make a photo tutorial for a Granny Star ornament I found here. I've some small changes here and there. Gauge isn't really important for this pattern.  And one more thing... my photography skills aren't as good as my crochet skills! So kindly bear with that!

Materials:

* 3mm aluminium crochet hook 

* white cotton wool

* gold thread (optional)

* gold embroidery floss (for the border)

Abbreviations:

ch - chain

sl st - slip stitch

sp - space

sc - single crochet

dc - double crochet

sc2tog - single crochet 2 together

Fasten off. Your basic Granny Star is done. I wanted more firmness to the star, so I have attached two of them together (looks really good hanging in your car :) )

Join the gold embroidery floss leaving a long tail (to hang your star)

1sc in each of the next 3 dc

Sc2tog at the corner

3sc into the ch3 sp (point)

Continue sc around, increasing at the points and decreasing at the corners.

Well, there's your star now! Merry Christmas!!
