Cute Crochet Stars Tips and Tricks
Selecting your crochet hook size
The crochet hook size that you use will largely depend on your stitching tension, and the yarn that you use. Larger hooks will make bigger stars and looser stitches. Feel free to adjust the crochet hook size that you use for these crochet stars until you are happy with the outcome.
Making different sizes
You can make different sized stars by using smaller or larger crochet hook sizes, as well as by using smaller or larger yarn sizes. If you would like small stars, you can use a light weight yarn, or for little stars, even crochet thread. Make sure to adjust the crochet hook size accordingly if you change the yarn weight used for this crochet star pattern.
Choosing your yarn
I highly recommend using a number four medium weight yarn for these little crochet stars. However, you can adjust the yarn weight to your liking. Just make sure that you use a smaller or larger crochet hook depending on what yarn size you use, so that your hook is the right size for your yarn.
