Star Struck is an advanced beginner crochet pattern.

Star Struck can be worn with 2-8 inches of positive ease, choose the size that would best style your fit available through the chart included.

Helpful tips when working the Star ST in the RND: For even number RNDS, (ex: 296) Your last leg of your Star ST will connect to the first Star of the RND.
For odd number RNDS, (ex: 231). Your last Star will be in the last ST, HDC in the last ST along with the last leg of your Star ST to fill in the space and keep it an odd number.

There are links included in the pattern for the special stitches included, start stitch and spike stitch.
