The first sunday of advent is coming up, which is the time to decorate your space as christmassy as possible. And for me stars - knitted and otherwise - are the best way to do so.
So here are two seasonal patterns that help to bring a starry sparkle to your home.
Stella Star-Shaped Potholders
These potholders (doilies, coasters) are knitted flat and in garter stitch. This pattern was published two years ago. Lately, I have completely reviewed it and added two more variations.
The new pattern PDF 14 pages long and contains:
- the complete written patterns for stars in two sizes including charts
- a general pattern how to knit stars in other sizes – containing also a photo tutorial
- three further variations of this pattern (see photos below)
- a lacy variation of this star – written pattern and a chart
- a pattern for a two-colour variation – written pattern, a chart and detailed instructions how to undo the provisional CO in two colours and how to do the grafting in two colours
- a three-colour variation – chart only
- short photo tutorials for the following techniques
- provisional cast on with a crochet hook and how to undo it
- grafting in garter stitch
- intarsia
You can buy this pattern
- via Ravelry,
- via Loveknitting,
- and via Payhip.
Even though these stars are 3-dimensional they are knitted flat. They have six points, are constructed of short rows and knitted (nearly) all in garter stitch. They come in four sizes and can be used to decorate your house for Christmas.
The pattern PDF contains
- a written pattern for four sizes of these little stars (ranging from 6 to 14 cm in diameter - if knitted in fingering weight yarn)
- a chart for two sizes
- photo illustrations for various stages of star
The pattern is available as a PDF
- via Ravelry,
- via Loveknitting and
- via Payhip.
