Crochet Stitches
For this pattern, you must know how to single crochet, double crochet, half double crochet, treble crochet, and slip stitch.
Crochet Picot Stitch
The easy crochet project uses a picot stitch as a decorative feature. If you do not know how to make this read our blog post on how to crochet picot stitch to learn more.
Yarn and Hook Information
We used #3 light (DK, light worsted, 8ply) acrylic yarn with about 14 WPI.
The recommended hook size for this yarn is 4mm; however, we opted for a 3mm hook instead. The smaller hook size creates a tighter stitch, which helps make the ornaments firmer and hold shape better.
However, feel free to experiment with different yarn types and weights, such as worsted weight yarn, and remember to adjust the hook size to what is recommended on the yarn label or go down a hook size like we did to create a firmer crochet Christmas star ornament.
