You may have seen this Star Applique in my recent Seeing Stars Basic Baby Beanie post, or my Star and Stripes Baby Beanie post. Ever since I put it down in writing, I have wanted to try out different yarn types to see what other size options I could get.

Materials:      

• #10 Cotton Thread & B/2mm Hook – I used Aunt Lydias Classic Crochet Thread in Burgundy
• Sock Weight & D/3mm Hook – I used Premier Yarns Wool-Free Sock Yarn in Pueblo
• Fine Weight (2) & E/3.5mm Hook – I used Lion Brand’s Vanna’s Glamour in Diamond
• Light/Sport (3) & 7/4.5mm Hook – I used Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Sportweight in Red
• Worsted Weight (4) & I9/5.5mm Hook – I used Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn in Ivory Sparkle
• Chunky (5) & J10/6mm Hook – I used Premier’s Serenity Chunky in After Dark
• Tapestry Needle for Weaving in Ends

Material Notes:

Any weight yarn will do – star measurements will vary.

Some hook sizes listed above are not standard US hook sizes. You can change out to the closest one you have – for example, in my now old set I did not have a 2mm but I had a 2.25mm and I did not have a 4.5mm but I had a 4.25mm.

Time Spent:

I had each star ready to go in about ten minutes!

Measurements:

• Burgundy Star Measures 2″ from point to point.
• Pueblo Star Measures 2.25″ from point to point.
• Diamond Star Measures 3″ from point to point.
• Red Star Measures 3.5″ from point to point.
• Ivory Sparkle Star Measures 4.5″ from point to point.
• After Dark Star Measures 5.25″ from point to point.
