    About this ebook

    The star stitch is a unique crochet stitch that involves repeating a two-row pattern. Row one creates the base where the bottom half of the star is made, and in row two, the star is completed. This guide includes photographs that illustrate how to make this gorgeous stitch. The seven projects contained within—Long Scarf, Dishcloth, Cowl, Charcoal Vest, Baby Jacket, Ladies Slippers, and Log Cabin Baby Blanket—use fine- and medium-weight as well as DK yarns.

      Introduction

      STAR STITCH PATTERN
