This star features a floral centre and is slightly hexagonal. With it’s funky eyelets it is interesting to look at, yet easy enough to make. This cute, yet slightly pompous, imperial star can be used in many different ways. I have used mine as coasters (they fit even the huge glasses we have here at home!), but they could also be hooked in a bulkier yarn to make a nice trivet or potholder. And if hooked in Red or white and sprayed with spray starch they make great ornaments for your christmas tree. Or hook them in lots of different colours and make a garland! The options are endless.

This pattern uses American crochet terminology.

Materials:
• A crochet hook (of a size that matches your yarn, I used a 3 mm hook for the samples).
• Cotton yarn. For the samples I used Anna Og Claras Bomuldsgarn from Søstrene Grene in several colours.
• Scissors.
