With yellow yarn, ch 28 and fasten off, leaving long tails at both ends. Fold the chain into a loop. Sew both ends to the back of one ch-3 tip, spreading the attachment across the adjacent tr stitch tops and the tip chain rather than one loose loop.
Take several small sewing passes, then weave the tails through the backs of nearby stitches. Keep the knot and seam behind the star. The hanging chain is separate from the structural ch-3 point and is not included in either round total.
Lift the finished ornament gently by the loop and check that the star hangs upright. Adjust the sewn attachment if it twists forward. A shorter loop can be used for a gift topper; keep both ends securely attached.
Reading the Two Complete Charts
Each chart shows the whole five-point star, not a single point repeat: a ch-5 foundation ring, five inner groups, all five outer pointed fans, the valley anchors, and a separate hanging-loop guide. The finished yellow ornament appears below the chart in two different photo settings.
An oval means ch, a filled dot means sl st, a plus means sc, a T with one diagonal bar means dc, and a T with two diagonal bars means tr. Read the rounds counterclockwise with the right side facing. The beginning chain substitutes for the first dc; the remaining points use ordinary dc. Dashed attachment marks indicate sewing for the separate hanging chain.
Finishing and Care
For extra firmness, test a suitable fabric stiffener on a yarn sample and follow its label. Apply lightly so the holes stay open. Shape the points while drying. Store the star flat between tissue to protect the tips and prevent the loop from catching.
Spot-clean gently, reshape while damp, and dry flat. This is a decorative hanging ornament; keep the long loop away from young children and pets.
Questions and Tips
Why do I have six points? Count the first-round spaces. There must be five ch-2 spaces, and each receives exactly one pointed fan. Do not add a fan over the join.
Why is my star curling? Check that each first-round group has three dc, each point has four dc and two tr, and each valley has two ch-1 spaces around one sc. Loosen overly tight chains and block lightly. Try a slightly larger hook if the fabric remains too tight.
Can I use a magic ring? A ch-5 ring gives a reliable visible opening for this version. If you substitute a magic ring, keep its center open and secure the tail carefully rather than cinching it shut.
Can I change the color? Yes. White, red, or green cotton uses the same stitch counts. Golden yellow matches the supplied reference. Changing yarn weight changes the finished size and stiffness.
Can I join several into a garland? Make each star separately and attach it by its loop to a display cord. Leave room between stars so the tips retain their shape.
