Star
Celebrate in style this Christmas with our glittery, silver star knitting pattern by Rosee Woodland, featured in Knit Today, Issue 118.
We’ve given you two ways to knit this great star knitting pattern: work flat on straight needles, or in the round using double-pointed needles (DPNs). If you want to make a small star hold the yarn single as normal and use 3¼mm needles, or to make a large star hold the yarn double and use 4½mm needles. Choose straight or double-pointed needles in your preferred size depending on whether you want to work flat or in the round. See which needles should I use to knit in the round? for more on how to use DPNs.
These sparkly stars would make great stashbusters as you can knit two small stars or one large one using just 60m of yarn. Remember to save a few short lengths of yarn to make the hanging loops. What colours will you choose? Go for stylish monochrome or a bright, cheerful rainbow and use them to trim your tree – or hang them up as bunting all over the house!
To make this star knitting pattern you will need:
60m (65 yds.) of sparkly silver yarn such as Anchor Artiste Metallic
A pair of 3¼mm (US 3) or 4½mm (US 7) knitting needles
Spray starch
