Star the Tree Topper
Difficulty: Easy, US terminology
Materials:
3.00mm hook/D-3 (US)
8ply yarn/DK or Light Worsted
50g yarn in YELLOW, a small amount in BLACK and RED
Scissors
Tapestry needle
Stitch marker
Abbreviations:
ch = chain
sc = single crochet
inc = single crochet increase (2 sc in one stitch)
dec = decrease (sc 2 together)
sl st = slip stitch
(..) = repeat the space in brackets the given number of times
.. = total number of stitches
Notes:
A yarn with no stretch is best for amigurumi, I ordinarily use cotton or cotton blend.
Amigurumi is usually stitched in the round (unless it says otherwise).
For this pattern, the following yarns were used:
o YELLOW = Lincraft Cotton Yarn 8ply in Yellow
o BLACK = Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK in Col. 402 Pure Black
o RED = Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK in Col. 416 Red Wine
I crochet loosely and use a 2.75-3.00mm hook with 8ply yarn but everyone differs. Generally, the hook you use for amigurumi will be a smaller than for other crochet as you want the stitches tight.
The yarn thickness and hook size used will affect the size of the finished item. My Star is approximately 15cm tall (6 inches).
