The Crochet Holiday Star is the first in my series of holiday décor patterns this week. Hang it on a door knob, in place of a wreath, or anywhere you want a little extra festivity.
You can vary the colors to make stars for whatever holiday you want. Hanukkah, Christmas, Fourth of July, or whatever you want to celebrate! Have fun blinging out your Holiday Star with whatever awesomeness you have in your stash.
Products for this design were provided by Furls Crochet, Fairfield, and Clover. All opinions are my own.

Hi Jessie. Thank you so much for your contribution to the 24 Days of Quickies with Marly Bird and Friends. Your star is going to be a great package decoration for Christmas and Hannukah packages!
That sounds like a great use for it! I made the star with 6 points so that it would work well for Hannukah in addition to many other holidays. 🙂
Thank you for creating the Crochet Holiday Star pattern for Marly Bird 24 Days of Quickies. I got it today the First Night of Hanukkah. Can’t wait to start it and hand it on my door. You have made my holiday.
Awesome!! I’m so glad to see people making it for Hanukkah, I really wanted to make something that would work for a variety of winter holidays!
