Grab a cuppa and sparkle while crocheting stars with soft merino wool. It’s a lovely way to nourish your soul and make something beautiful for your home.

About the design:

With some crochet patterns, the design comes to life in what feels like an instant and it must be released straight away. With others, it comes to life slowly and it needs time before being released.

The Bright Star crochet pattern is the second type. I came up with the design last year when I was putting together the Chunky Stars pattern. I made a prototype and some hasty scribbles on a piece of paper and that was it.

The prototype hung on the hallway of my Geelong apartment for most of the year. I absolutely loved it, but it didn’t feel like it was the right time to bring the pattern to life. Now that the new Daisy Yellow Homelea Bliss has arrived, Bright Star is ready to go out into the world!

Intermediate skill level:

I recommend this pattern if you’ve done some crocheting before, and am comfortable following instructions where the stitches used are changing a lot.

You will need:

  • 15.75mm (Q) crochet hook
  • 300g skein of Homelea Bliss merino wool yarn (makes 1 bright star) or 40m of a yarn that is 1cm / 0.4in thick
  • 1 stitch marker
  • scissors
  • tape measure or ruler

Use a smaller yarn and smaller crochet hook to make a smaller bright star.

I know you’re going to love crocheting the Bright Star!

With love, Lynda.
