Notes

I made these star ornaments as samples for my LYS. The yarn store provided the pattern and the yarn, so how could I refuse?

The pattern calls for heavier yarn, so I improvised a bit until I got a size I liked. The first star was made with a single strand of yarn and size 2 needles. I felt like gauge was too loose, so I didn’t make the B pattern and embellished it with sequins to improve the look. The stars I made with a size 1 needle used a single strand of yarn, and the ones made with the 2.5 needle used the yarn held double.
