itty bitty crochet star tutorial

 I am a firm believer that if I can think up a crochet pattern,

especially one so easy,

then probably somebody else has too.

I don't believe that simple crochet patterns belong to anyone.

 This is my first ever crochet diagram.

Isn't it pretty!

 It's pretty self explanatory really if you already crochet.

 I used some kool cotton from my stash.

to begin
(I'm using uk terms)

chain 5, slip stitch into the first chain to create a ring.

{1 dc, 1tr, 3ch, 1tr into the ring} repeat 4 more times

finish with a slip stitch into the first dc.

With a darning needle weave in the ends.

To produce a pointy star, 

pin each 3chain point to a folded towel/old cushion

and spray with water and leave to dry.

For a stiffer star I like to use spray starch,

found in the laundry section.

And there you have it.

I strung mine on a piece of twine,

but you could hang each one individually..

..or make pretty parcels like below!
In answer to Deborahs question 
I used a 4mm hook :0)
