[kkwindels101]

slow down, i'm trying to follow you!

[llozano1018]

Made it on the first try...thats a first...thanks...

[erindrake2010]

[tashianaanelyn]

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!! : P

[tjw1963]

@tashianaanelyn I am glad that you like it.

[giraffe199812]

wat the hell my star turned into a f-ing circle this shit is gay

[tjw1963]

@giraffe199812 I sent you a playlist with the beginner crochet stitches. Knowing some of the stitches will be helpful. Come back and this tutorial should make more sense.

[rinnylin]

My circles are off to the right where I join. It always happens whenever I do something like that (ie solid granny square). What am I doing wrong?

[mszsqueakyboo6]

i so hate this

[natasjja99]

glad i found this just have a question what if I wanted to make a hat with the star in the begining how would I proceede I have a few Dallas cowboys fans who have asked me make them a hat and a star in the top would be great any help would be appreciated I have an example if you would like to see

[tjw1963]

@natasjja99 The easiest way would be to sew the star on the top as an applique.

Thank you, I've been trying to figure this out on my own but haven't had much luck. I just learned to crochet 3 1/2 weeks ago and have been playing around seeing what all I could I could make on my own. Figured out how to make a very simple heart on my own. Just seeing what all the stitches make other than squares! ;) But I have to admit the star kind of eluded me. I could make it but then it would turn into a round coaster. Cute but not what I was going for. But now, thanks to you, I can do it!

I tried to follow this, but you go sooooo fast

[iamfree6565]

Thank you so much for posting this instructional video. I wanted to crochet a puertorican flag but had no clue how to make the star for it. Your video was increadibly clear. Reading instructions is hard for me to do. I spend so much time trying to remember what the symbols mean that by the time I am ready to try the stitch, I'm fed up . This video was amzingly easy to follow. Thanks for your willingness to share your talent and help others : )

[tjw1963]

@iamfree6565 You are welcome. Thank you for the comment.

[TheMrsworrall]

I only started crocheting in January this year. I am doing fairly well, but am finding written instructions confusing - and then I came across your excellent videos. You are a marvel. I am already getting excited about trying out all sorts of new things, especially the Shell with 3 Double Crochet and the Broomstick Lace. Thank you so much for doing all these videos.

[tjw1963]

@TheMrsworrall You are welcome. I appreciate the comment, thank you.

[RosalieBales]

shew ive tried it about 5 times now and it never turns out like a little star,it looks like a little circle :( im frustrated

[ThuyandNicole]

Is it okay to use an "I" crocheting stick?

[tjw1963]

You can make this star with any size crochet hook.

[babyvanessa321]

:( when i try to make this it turns out a circle...

[tjw1963]

I would say that you may be missing the valley decreases and doing to many stitches.

[ilovejohnnyborrell]

this is so confusing. how do i find out what all these terms mean? what's a chain and whats a single crochet?

mine's gone all wrong :( x

[tjw1963]

I have all the basic stitches in a playlist that I will send to you.

[hervaj3]

i made about 10 of these stars. thanks. best teacher..love your videos!!

[tjw1963]

Thank you very much. :)

[canrsiegrl]

well i've tried this several more times...it just doesn't look like yours, although i'm following along...could i be using the wrong type of yarn? it's 4 ply with a j needle...they just seem to look lopsided...

[canrsiegrl]

Hi - i have tried to do this over and over again, but for some reason it doesn't look like yours...what am I doing wrong. I made my son a huge flag blanket and need to make stars for it...

[tjw1963]

What I can think, without actually looking at your piece, is that you may be missing some of the decrease joined stitches. If you would like, you can send me an e-mail with a picture and I will be able to tell you more.

[lora399]

I am making about 20 of these today. Happy holidays. Lora

[tjw1963]

You are busy today.

[montrealstars60]

I definitely love this! You can actually put the stars on your xmas tree... You're fantastic!

[tjw1963]

Thank you. :) You could stiffen them and put glitter on them for the Christmas Tree.

[jacori836]

can u make a bigger star

[tjw1963]

You can make it a little bit bigger that what I have demonstrated in the tutorial.

[brigurl88]

mine keeps looking like a circle

[SandyCantxie]

Hi! OMG i'm impress, you're the queen of croche =) i'm starting to learn how to do croche, can you tell me what's what i need to do croche? i'll be waiting for your answer to buy it! and i'd like to do that pretty star!

[tjw1963]

All you will need is a crochet hook and some yarn to learn to crochet and practice the various stitches. Learning the language is important so you can crochet any pattern.

[EvelineUK]

A fun little project that you could turn into a mobile for a baby, or just for yourself. ;)

[tjw1963]

You could applique it on a hat or a granny square.

[puppygirlxox]

wow!!!! That is amazing!! how many years how you been crocheting for??

[PinkReBunny]

i've made a ton of stars. thanks for the easy to follow steps to make the star :]

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[brainwashedpotato]

u look like an pro and expert combined i do it really really slow

[tjw1963]

I have some knowledge with crocheting. When I first started, I crocheted really, really, really slow for a long time. It takes practice and your speed will pick.

[Atarielle]

that is super cute! thanks - stars are my favorite. <3

[desolatedecember]

is there away to make the 5 point star a center for a granny square?

[tjw1963]

There are two ways you can do it.

1. Applique it on the granny square.

2. Work 4 chains evenly around the star and then work the granny square stitches and corners in each of the chains.

[prittyinpink2008]

[tjw1963]
