How to crochet a CHRISTMAS STAR to decorate your gift in the last minute!
Only few days to Christmas, the last gifts are ready and now how do we decorate them?
I thought of a simple and quick star, made with a soft cord that keeps its shape.
Used yarn to crochet a star ornament

- 🧶I used Swan Thai cord Tresfere
- Crochet hook 3,5 mm
- scissor
- tapestry needle
📌Suggested yarns: if you like to have a sturdy and rigid Christmas star as a result, I recommend the Swan Thai cord or the Twister yarn by Tresfere, which can be purchased in the Lisa Davì Filati Romance.
📌Cotton, wool and acrylic are ideal for this star if you want a softer result.
Depending on the yarn you choose, you will need to adjust the size of the crochet hook.
