The Christmas Star “ESTRELLA” is created from a crocheted, five-pronged star motif and 5 branches tied together to a star. The branches do not have to be quite straight, on the contrary, the more knobbed, the fancier your star will be.
The thicker the yarn used, the larger the crocheted star becomes. If you use a thicker yarn than that I propose you might have to adjust the length of the branches accordingly.

Material:
1 ball (ca. 1.05oz/30g) of cotton yarn, for example Hobbii Rainbow 8/6, light worsted/DK, 1.75oz/115yards (50g/105m).
5 dry branches, approx. 29.5in (75cm), lang, approx. finger thick.
Size 6 (4.0mm) hook
Scissors
Darning needle
5 rubber bands

You should be familiar with these US crochet stitches (UK terms): single crochet/sc (double crochet/dc), double crochet/dc (treble crochet/tr), chain stitch/ch, slip stitch/slst (single crochet/sc). The abbreviation for stitch is st.

This pattern is suitable for beginners.
