For knitting asterisks shown in photo 1, on a sliding loop you need to dial 5 tbsp. without crochet and close the row with a connecting post.
Scheme 1. Knitted on 5 loops of a circle-base.
Photo 2 shows asterisks with very long thin rays. This type of starfish also occurs naturally.
Photo 2. Starfish with thin rays connected on 5 loops of the base circle.
For knitting nautical stars shown in photo 2, we are the same as in the previous case, on a sliding loop we collect 5 tbsp. without a crochet, we close it in a ring connecting column and knit 5 rays of an asterisk on each of the 5 loops of the previous row with the only difference that the ray in this case is longer and is 11 in. p. See diagram 2.
Scheme 2. Starfish with thin rays, connected on 5 loops of the circle-base.
In photo 3 we see the classic starfish a little bigger size, connected on 10 loops of a circle-base.
Photo 3. Starfish of a slightly larger size, connected on 10 loops of a circle-base.
V starfish , shown in photo 3, for each ray there are 2 loops of the last row of the base circle. That is, in the last circle of the middle of the sprocket there should be 10 loops, which we will reach according to the description below.
We are typing on sliding loop 5 tbsp. without crochet, close the circle with a connecting loop and knit the second row in 2 tbsp. without nak. in each loop of the previous row (do not forget to do 1 c.p. at the beginning of the 2nd row), so we get 10 loops, on which we already knit the rays of our new asterisk (see diagram 3). In this pattern, the beginning of knitting rays of an asterisk located at point A.
Scheme 3. Starfish connected on 10 loops of the base circle.
Let's try now to link an asterisk more bigger size (see photo 4).
Photo 4. Starfish tied on 15 loops of a circle-base.
Have asterisks, shown in photo 4, for each ray there are 3 loops of the base circle of the previous row.Obviously, for this, in the last row of the circle, the foundation of our future asterisks there should be 15 loops. You can get this number of loops as follows:
1 circle - on sliding loop we collect 3 tbsp. without nak. and connect the beginning and end of the circle connecting post (as in previous cases, only the number of loops is different);
2nd circle - 1 c. p. item, 6 tbsp. without nak. (i.e., 2 tbsp. without nak. in each loop of the previous row), connect. a loop;
3 circle - 1 c. p. p., 12 tbsp. without nak. (i.e., 2 tbsp. without nak. in each loop before.), at the end of the row, we connect the beginning and end. column;
4th circle - 1 c. p. p., 15 tbsp. without nak. (that is, 2 tbsp. without nak. in each 4th loop of the previous row, so we added 3 missing to 15 loops), at the end of the row - connect. column.
Having knitted in this way circle-base : the middle of our future starfish , we will get the 15 loops we need in the last row. Now we can start knitting 5 rays of an asterisk according to the scheme below 4.
Scheme 4. Starfish connected on 15 loops of the base circle.
In conclusion, we will link embossed volumetric starfish crochet (see photo 5).
Photo 5. Embossed volumetric starfish.
Photo 5 shows embossed starfish crochet, which is very close to the original, thanks to the thorns along the edge and in the center of each of the five rays.
The general principle of crocheting this star is the same as all of the above.
However, to knit thorns in the center of each ray, it is necessary that the ray itself be wider and have, as it were, a pronounced axis of symmetry. Therefore, if in previous cases, when knitting a star beam, we tied a chain of air loops on one side, using ever higher posts (see diagrams 1-4), then in the latter case we will tie a chain of air loops on both sides.
Stage 1 - we knit a flat base of a five-pointed star, using the description of knitting the middle and a pattern for knitting rays (see diagram 5)
Stage 2 - we knit thorns in the center of each ray of our star;
Stage 3 - we tie our sprocket around the perimeter also, making thorns.
Stage 1. We knit a flat base of a five-pointed star.
I calculated the loops from the considerations that at the base of each ray there should be 5 loops: 2 loops for the left side of the beam, 1 loop for the axis of symmetry, along which a row with "spikes" will pass in the future, 2 loops for the right side of the beam asterisks.
We knit the basis of our five-pointed asterisk - a circle according to the principle of knitting a round shape in rows (see. A circle, knitting a circle in rows), using the description below:
1 row - knit 5 tbsp on a sliding loop. without nak. connect the beginning to the end of the circle Art.
Note: It is not at all necessary to start knitting with sliding hinge ... If you have not "made friends" with her yet, you can have a very small ring of 3-4 vp. (or made by winding 3-4 turns of thread on a pencil) tie with 5 tbsp. without nak. However with the help sliding hinge small rings knit faster and more accurately;
2nd row - 1 in. p. item, 10 art. without nak. (2 tbsp. without nak. in each loop of the previous row), conn. a loop;
3 row - 1 in. p.p., 20 Art. without nak. (2 tbsp. without nak. in each loop of the previous row), conn. a loop;
4th row - 1 in. p.p., 20 Art. without nak., conn. a loop;
5 row - 1 in. pp, 25 art. without nak. (2 tbsp. without nak. every 4th loop of the previous row), conn. a loop.
As a small digression, I would like to note the "huge", if I may say so, the role of a small, inconspicuous connecting post or, as it is also called, "Connecting loop" or "Blind loop" ) when crocheting.
Of course, this loop primarily serves to connect the beginning and end of the row when knitting in a circle, thus justifying its name.
but connecting loop, in essence, it is practically a chain stitch, which was used for a very long time for embroidery on fabric, and not being a column, it can perfectly follow the contour of the product or some kind of pattern.
This property connecting loop or "blind loop" can be perfectly used when crocheting for decorative finishing of a knitted fabric or for “traveling” along the fabric in order to continue knitting in another place without breaking the thread. What are we going to do now when knitting each of the 5 rays of our very original starfish.
So, having knitted the fifth row circle-base our asterisk according to the above description, we got 25 loops along the contour, and ended up at point A (see diagram 5).
Scheme 5. Marine volumetric relief star.
The next 5 loops of the previous row (BP segment) will be the basis of the first ray of the asterisk. With the help of 3 connectors. loops we find ourselves at point B, in the 3rd central loop, on which we will knit a chain from 11 to. p., which will be the axis of symmetry of the beam of the asterisk. Having knitted 11 in. etc., we find ourselves at point C (see Diagram 5).
So, having knitted the fifth row circle-base our asterisk according to the above description, we got 25 loops along the contour, and ended up at point A (see diagram 5). The next 5 loops of the previous row (BP segment) will be the basis of the first ray of the asterisk. With the help of 3 connectors. loops we find ourselves at point B, in the 3rd central loop, on which we will knit a chain from 11 to. p., which will be the axis of symmetry of the beam of the asterisk. Having knitted 11 in. etc., we find ourselves at point C (see Diagram 5).
Now our task is to tie this chain on both sides so that we get a symmetrical asterisk beam expanding downward. To do this, first we knit a chain from the near edge according to scheme 5, we return in this way from point C to point A and join the beginning with a connecting loop. Then using the same conn. loops rise to point C, knit to turn 1 st. without nak. at point C.
We pass to the 2nd stage: we will connect the relief thorns in the center of each of the 5 rays.
Each row with spikes for each ray is knitted separately, that is, before knitting a new row with embossed spikes, the thread breaks, then you will understand why.
From the center of the sprocket O (see diagram 5) we lay connecting loops path to the extreme point of the first ray C (the thread from the ball under the canvas of the asterisk is important!). It turns out 13-14 loops. This track is from conn. loops and is axis of symmetry our ray. Along this path, we bend our ray and knit back with single crochet to the center O, doing on every 2nd or 3rd loop "Pico from 3 v. P.". These "Pico" and are "Thorns" our starfish ... Quantity "Pico" creating the effect embossed "thorns" it should not be the same on every ray, because a natural star, if you look closely, everything is quite chaotic!
Note that when we go back up the track with Art. without nak. , then the thread is no longer under the canvas , a over it ... And for laying "Tracks" from connecting loops from the center O to the top of the next ray, for example, to the point Ф, the thread from the ball should be under the canvas ... Therefore, in order to start knitting an embossed path with spikes for the next ray, the thread must be cut!. You yourself will feel it when you directly do this work in practice.
So, the thread was cut off, and from the center O to the top of the next ray to the point Ф (see diagram 5) we knit a connection. columns (13-14 connecting columns) track, bend the canvas along it and back also return to the center of the asterisk (point O in diagram 5), knitting each loop of st. without nak., making on the 3rd or 4th loop the element "picot from 3 to. P.). Having reached the center O, we cut off the thread. We proceed to tying the next ray. Etc.
After the design of all 5 rays with embossed thorns, we can say that 2nd stage knitting of our reel starfish, finished!
Let's move on to 3rd stage of knitting our star which consists in tying the sprocket along the contour with "thorns".
To do this, we tie our star along the edge. connecting posts while also doing "Pico" on every 3rd, 4th or even 5th loop.
Having finished the design of the asterisk, we cut off the thread and hide it from the seamy side.
So the most difficult nautical relief star is ready! Although, if you look at it - nothing complicated. A little troublesome.
Having understood the simple principle of knitting an asterisk, you can create your own, coming up with new shapes and proportions, varying the different ratio of the size of the circle diameter and the length and number of rays !!!
A luxurious piece of furniture - a pillow in the shape of a star, knitted.
Consider an example of knitting a 108 stitch pillow. It turns out to be pretty small. If you want more, take a thicker yarn. And below you will find a video tutorial with calculations for knitting such a pillow for 220 loops.
So, we cast on 108 loops and distribute them over six knitting needles. There are 18 loops on each knitting needle. then we close the knitting needles with a ring. Knitting such a pillow is similar to knitting socks or mittens. Now you need to knit in a circle. Knitting star pattern: 
We knit 7 loops with the front knit and make a broach: remove 2 loops on the right knitting needle (we start the knitting needle under the loops on the left).
We knit the next loop with the front knit. Pull this front loop through the 2 removed loops. Leave the removed loop on the right spoke.
The number of loops has decreased by half, and if we count the decrease in loops along the entire row, then it will be 12 loops. In the place where we make broaches, a beautiful convex pigtail gradually forms, dividing the beam into 2 halves.
After the broaches, we knit 7 lp (front loops), and knit the remaining loop with purl stitch. We distribute the loops on six knitting needles 
3rd row: knit 6 stitches with front knit, make a broach and knit the remaining loop as purl. We stretch the front loop through the two removed 
We leave it on the right spoke 
The number of loops is reduced by two 
Third row 
4th row: knit 5 front loops, make a broach and knit the last loop with purl. Fourth row 
5 row: knit 4 front loops, make a broach and knit 1 purl loop. Fifth row 
6 row: knit 3 knit stitches, make a broach, knit 3 knit stitches and 1 purl stitch. Sixth row 
7 row: knit 2 knit stitches, make a broach, knit 2 knit loops and 1 purl. Seventh row 
Row 8: knit 1 knit stitch, make a broach, knit 1 knit stitch and one purl stitch. Eighth row 
9 row: behind the first two loops on the left, draw a knitting needle and transfer them to the right side. Now we knit a knitted stitch and pass it through the two removed ones. We knit the next loop with purl stitch. We knit the two remaining loops like this: we make a broach and knit with purl stitch. At this stage, there is a high likelihood of the loops jumping out of the knitting needles. To make work easier, you can divide the loops on three needles.
Ninth row 
Tenth row 
10 row. We knit one front in two loops.
11 row. We repeat: we knit two loops with one front. Eleventh row 
We tighten the loops that remained on the knitting needle to the middle, hiding the end inside. We tighten the hinges 
It remains to knit the second half of the pillow and sew them. You can use a synthetic winterizer as a filler (but do not overdo it, it is better not to stuff too much so that the pillow is soft). Finished sprocket 
In order to tie such stars, we will need:
- leftover yarn
- stocking needles
- needle
- synthetic winterizer or something similar with which you can stuff a toy
- and, of course, the desire to knit!
The drawing is very simple. Let's break it down before we get started.
In the figure there are well-known front, purl loops and a broach (from 3 loops, 1 is obtained). I'll show you on a sample:
How to knit a broach correctly
Remove 2 loops, as when knitting the front
Knit one loop with the front
Pull the knit through the removed hinges
How to knit a star
We collect loops depending on the desired sprocket size. In this case, I cast on 110 stitches and split 22 stitches into each of the 5 stocking needles.
First, we knit 1 out. and 21 persons. loop on each spoke, closing them into a ring. Then we knit in a circle, like mittens or socks. Each next row must be reduced by 10 loops.
We start with 9 faces. loops, then they decrease.
So, 1 out., 9 persons., 1 broach (remove 2 stitches, as when knitting the front, 1 person., Stretch the front through the removed loops), 9 persons.
1 out., 8 persons., 1 broach, 8 persons.
1 out., 7 persons., 1 broach, 7 persons.
1 out., 6 persons., 1 broach, 6 persons.
So knit until there are 2 loops on each knitting needle, that is, a total of 10 loops.
Cut the thread, pull it through these loops and fasten it on the seamy side. You can make a loop so that the star can be hung somewhere. So, we have knitted half a star.
To knit a soul mate, you need to be patient, but since we, knitters, are patient, we will succeed.
We collect again 110 loops along the outer edge of the star, that is, we continue to work with the half we just knitted!
We attach a thread and distribute the loops over 5 knitting needles. We carefully make sure that the purl loops match, otherwise the star will turn out to be beveled.
We knit the 2nd half of the star in the same way as the first.
The star beams are obtained by themselves) without any difficulties!
We knit until there are 2 loops on each knitting needle, there will be a total of 10.
Now you need to fill the asterisk with any material convenient for you (padding polyester, cotton wool, etc.).
A crocheted crochet star is a simple product, but at the same time an interesting and versatile item. In the shape of a star, you can make a soft toy for your baby, a napkin on the table or a rug on the floor, a blanket, a Christmas tree decoration and a huge variety of options. Thus, spending quite a bit of time and effort, you can create a beautiful and useful masterpiece with your own hands.
Christmas decoration for the Christmas tree "Star"
A bright star crocheted from motifs of different colors will become a worthy decoration for a New Year's beauty. As it rotates, its edges change colors. If the lower edges are not connected, then the asterisk can be put on the top of the Christmas tree, where it will become the main decoration.
So let's get started. For work we need:
- some mercerized cotton yarn in three colors;
- leftovers of white or silver yarn for tying;
- hook number 2.
First, we need to connect 3 motives according to the scheme.
And, then, starch them to keep their shape.
Fold the motives, and tie their edges with a white thread with a single crochet.
At the top, tie a chain of air loops and close it in a loop.
The decoration is ready.

Crochet soft starfish
A voluminous soft crocheted star can serve as a toy for a baby, an interior item or a needle case for a needlewoman.
For work you need to cook:
- remnants of blue yarn;
- hook with the corresponding number;
- filler.
We need to connect two circles. To do this, we crochet 2 air loops, and then:
1r. - 6 tbsp. b / n in the second loop, (6);
2p. - 6 times we perform an increase, (12);
3p. - Repeat the pattern 6 times (1 item b / n + increase), (18);
4p. - 6 times (increase + 2 st. B / n), (24);
5 p. - 6 times (3 sts. B / n + nailing), (30).
In the first circle, the working thread needs to be fastened and cut, and we continue knitting with the thread of the second circle.
Now we turn to knitting rays. To do this, in the first row in the second circle we perform 7 tbsp. b / n, after which in the first circle we do 7 tbsp. b / n, (14)
In the second row from 1 loop in the second round - 5 tbsp. b / n, decrease, 5 tbsp. b / n, decrease, (12)
3p. - decrease, 4 tbsp. b / n, decrease, 4 tbsp. b / n, (10);
4p. - 3 tbsp. b / n, decrease, 3 tbsp. b / n, decrease, (8);
5r. - decrease, 2 tbsp. b / n, decrease, 2 tbsp. b / n, (6).
Fasten and cut the working thread, and pull off the loops.
Attach the thread to the extreme loop of the previous ray of the first circle
And then we knit in the second circle.
14th Art. we do b / n instead of attaching the thread.
We also knit the remaining rays - constantly capturing the extreme loops of the previous ray. When knitting the latter, we grab the extreme loops of adjacent rays
The shape and length of the rays can be adjusted. For example, if you make a decrease through a row, then they will be narrower and longer, and if there are 4 decreases in a row, then they will be short and plump.
Star-shaped crochet pillow master class
Delicate and soft star will be a worthy interior decoration in your home, or will become an original gift for friends and family. It is not difficult to knit a pillow, even novice needlewomen can easily cope with this task.
What we need:
- finished fabric yarn;
- suitable hook;
- quilt / felt / felt scraps;
- filler.
For knitting, it is better to use yarn of the same thickness. But if, suddenly, for one side it is thicker, and for the other - thin, the final size of the finished part will be adjusted by the number of circles. After each row, the yarn should be pulled out so that the fabric is even and does not curl.
So let's get started. We start knitting from the central part of the star.
1r. - we collect 3 vp, we carry out 9 double crochet into it, and then we connect (connected with a column) and tighten it tightly until it is completely closed.
2p. - again we collect 3 VP, in the next loop we make 2 double crochets and continue to perform 2 PRSs in each loop. At the end of the row, we do 1 PRS in the next. loop and connecting column in the 3rd ch.
3p. - 3 vp, 9 * (1sc in the next item, 2sc in the next item). Next, 1 PRS in the next p, 1 PRS in the last loop. We end the row with a connecting column in the 3rd initial vp.
4p. - 3 vp, 9 * (1sc in the next 2p, 2sc in the next item). Then, 1 PRS in the next. 2p, 1 PRS in the next item. Finish a series of connections. Art. in the 3rd initial vp.
5r. - 3 VP, 9 * (1 PRS in the next 3p, 2 PRS in the next item). 1 PRS in the next. 3p., 1 PRS in the last. item Connection article in the 3rd initial item
6p. - 3 VP, 9 * (1 PRS in the next 4p, 2 PRS in the next item). 1 PRS in the next. 4p, 1 PRS in the last item Conn. Article in the 3rd initial c.p.
We do not cut the working thread.
We move on to crocheting the first ray.
1r. - do 3 vp from the end of the 6th row. Then - 1 pillar. with nak. in the next 11 loops. We unfold the product.
2p. - we carry out the connection. Art. in the 2nd loop from the hook and 3 vp. Further - 1 pillar. with nak. in the next 9 loops. We unfold the product again.
3p. - conn. in the 2nd loop from the hook + 3v.p. 1 post. with nak. in the next 7 loops. Turn.
4p. - conn. in the 2nd loop + 3v.p. Then, 1 pillar. with nak. in the next 5 loops. We turn the canvas.
5r. - conn. Art. in the 2nd loop + 3 vp Then, 1 pillar. with nak. in the next 3 loops. Rotate the canvas again.
Now we carry out the rest of the rays.
1r. - we make a standing connecting post, as shown in the figure, in the next stitch (3 air pet) of the previous ray. Then, we perform 2 air pet. and 1 post. with nak in the next 11 pet. We expand the product.
3p. - conn. pillar. in the 2nd pet. from the hook. 3 air pet. 1 post. with nak. in the next. 7 pet. We turn the product again.
4p. - conn. pillar. in the 2nd pet. from the hook. 3 air pet. 1 post. with nak. in the next. 5 pet. Turn.
5r. - conn. pillar. in the 2nd pet. from the hook. 3 air pet. 1 post. with nak. in the next. 3 pet. Turn.
6p. - conn. pillar. in the 2nd pet. from the hook. 3 air pet. 1 post. with nak. in the same loop as 3 air. pet. And in the next. loop - 1 pillar. with nak. Cut the thread, fasten the end.
Edging. We start with the base of any ray. We make 1 standing connecting st-k. Then, 13 connecting st-kov are made evenly upward along one side of the beam. 3 air loops. 13 connecting rods evenly down the other side of the beam. Thus, we tie the rest of the rays and connect with the first connecting post. Fasten the thread, cut, and hide the tail in the weaving.
Assembly. To prevent the filler from "seeping" through the holes in the knitting, we use quilted blankets (or felt, felt) as a lining. We cut out stars from the lining material, which in shape and size correspond to our bound ones. The color of the lining should be taken into account, it should not contrast with the yarn. For example, white felt is more suitable for a light thread, and felt is more suitable for a dark one.
We will connect all the layers in this order - star, lining, lining, star.
We start with any stitch. We make 1 standing connecting st-k through the 2 inner loops of each stitch
We make 1 such stitch in each loop until one ray remains. We fill the pillow with filler between 2 layers of lining fabric
