Errata: the stitch count after round 1 should be 45, not 40.

This is a pattern of a star. It consists of a small central star with the possibility of adding more and more rows. The star keeps its shape after every row, so you can make it as large as you like (hence the name, growing star).

The level is intermediate because I used one special stitch for the corners, which is explained in the pattern with pictures. Otherwise it is very straightforward.

The pattern contains written instructions for the central star, the first few rounds, and a recipe on how to keep adding more rounds. You can use any yarn as long as you use a hook to match.
