Star Stitch crochet patterns add a beautiful design and texture to any project.
This star stitch features a little added texture that adds a bit more depth to the design and it frames the star stitches quite nicely.
The star stitches are quite simple to work with the pattern being a straightforward two-row repeat: One row of cluster stitches followed by a row of half double crochet. You will want to add this star stitch pattern to your blankets, scarves and more!
The Materials:
For this tutorial today I will be using a small amount of Heatherly by KnitPicks and WeCrochet in a single colour. It is a worsted-weight yarn. You could also work this pattern in two or more colours. I will also be working with a 5 mm (H/8) crochet hook. In the video tutorial below you will see me working with a Birchwood Crochet Hook by Rowan. However, you may use any hook and yarn combination you choose.
Thank you so much for stopping by! If you enjoy the tutorial below, be sure to also check out some of the many other crochet stitch tutorials on my site and pin this for later! You may wish to start with the beautiful Coral Stitch Crochet Pattern.

Pattern Notes:
This stitch is worked in rows in this tutorial and it may be worked in one colour or many. I will be working this pattern in a solid colour.
This pattern is written in American crochet terms.
To begin, make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch, you will need an even multiple of stitches for your foundation chain.
For example, ch 30.
Row One:
Beg CL (See “Stitches and Abbreviations”) beginning in the 2nd ch from your hook, *CL (See “Stitches and Abbreviations”); Rpt from * across. Ch 2, turn.
Row Two:
Hdc in the 1st st (the ch-st at the base of the turning ch), *2 hdc in next ch-1 st (This is the centre of your star st); Rpt from * across to the final turning ch, hdc in the turning ch. Ch 3, turn.
Row Three:
Working in the blo all the way across, beg CL beginning in the 2nd ch from your hook, *CL; Rpt from * across. Ch 2, turn.
Row Four:
Hdc in the 1st st (the ch-st at the base of the turning ch), *2 hdc in next ch-1 st (This is the centre of your star st); Rpt from * across to the final turning ch, hdc in the turning ch. Ch 3, turn.
And that’s it!
For the rest of the pattern, simply repeat rows three and four. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
