Crochet pattern Christmas STAR “ESTRELLA”

The Christmas Star “ESTRELLA” is created from a crocheted, five-pronged star motif and 5 branches tied together to a star. The branches do not have to be quite straight, on the contrary, the more knobbed, the fancier your star will be.
The thicker the yarn used and the longer the branches, the larger the crocheted star becomes.
Great Christmas decoration for your home, the entrance door or the terrace and garden!
