This simple star garland is a great pattern for someone who has mastered the basic stitches and wants to move on. It’s a nice introduction to reading crochet charts. With lots of practice of stitches that may be new, such as half treble, and double trebles.

I write my patterns in UK/Australian crochet terms, that’s how I learned crochet. These days with the easy access to American patterns via the internet it’s important to be able to use both American and International crochet terms. One of the reasons I love crochet charts is that I don’t have to convert American into UK terms
