Boxfish Handicraft Crochet Pattern of Stella the Blue Starfish (PDF File / 5 Pages)

BEAUTIFULLY ZACKY
The bright blue starfish are always special beautiful eye-catchers in the sea and the real star among the sea creatures. They have a relatively small body and long, thick arms that are round in cross-section. Normally, the blue starfish have five arms. Did you know that starfish can reproduce sexually and asexually? In asexual reproduction, they simply divide. That’s why you sometimes see starfish in the ocean with fewer arms or with arms of different lengths. Isn’t that amazing?
It is true that the name “blue starfish” says something about the coloration. But these starfish are also available in other colors. Starfish that live under 60 meters can be found in gray, khaki, yellow or pink. So you can crochet your Stella in the color you like it best.
