Simple Star Garland Crochet Pattern

About This Star Garland Pattern

• This star garland crochet pattern is easy to make and perfect for a beginner.
• The pattern is based on our granny stitch crochet star pattern which is a simple three-round pattern.
• This pattern is quick to make and requires very little yarn, making it great for stash-busting.
• Make this star garland in any length you like and use it to decorate your Christmas tree, walls, windows, mantle or anywhere you would like to show some holiday joy.
• This is a free crochet pattern. You can find a printable pattern card at the end of this post.

What Yarn To Use

You can use just about any yarn type and yarn weight to make stars.

Fine yarn weights like #1 super fine, #2 fine, and #3 light are ideal for this garland pattern because the stars will be small and dainty.

If you use thicker yarns the stars will be chunkier and heavier looking.

I used 3-ply, 100% crochet cotton to make this garland, which is similar to #0 lace (light fingering, 10-count thread) yarn.

You could make stars in multiple colors like you see here on this page or go for a monotone look and use one color only.

If you are after a more festive look, I think that this garland would look fantastic worked in metallic yarn.

Crochet Stitches

You will need to know a few basic crochet stitches to make this pattern, like chain stitch, single crochet, double crochet and slip stitch.

Star Pattern

Make your desired number of crochet stars to suit the length of the garland you wish to make. Make them in different colors, or you can make them in one.

This crochet star garland pattern is based on my easy granny stitch crochet star pattern and I have included the instructions for this in the printable pattern below.

If you need help following the pattern go to our step-by-step instructions, on our granny stitch crochet star pattern page.

Finishing

Use a yarn needle to weave in the loose ends of each star.

To make the garland, start with chain 45 (or your desired length) to form the start of the garland string.

Then single crochet into the point of one star to join it to the chain, then chain 15.

Next, single crochet into the point of the next star and chain 15.

Repeat the process of making 15 chains and single crocheting into the stars until you have reached your desired length, ending with a chain of 45 (or your desired number) for the garland end.
