I wanted a really organic natural feel to everything, especially the tree topper.
This star turned out more perfectly than I could have hoped for, though it doesn't look like the pattern depicted at all!
This is the original...
And here's mine...
This isn't my first go-round at the crochet hook and I do know how to read a pattern, but for some reason, mine looks nothing like the original!
The original pattern is here and the finished size is listed as 5 1/4 inches finished... I used the indicated hook size and thread size and it ended up being 12 inches across!
No idea what happened, but I love it!
To keep it on the tree, I placed a loop of elastic from one side of the center hole to the other. It makes a wonderful holder without distracting from the beauty of this piece.
I did starch the finished piece as part of the blocking process so that it will stand up as the tree topper.
I can't wait to see it all together as we get closer to Christmas and I'm looking forward to you seeing the rest of the decorations!
