This design is especially beginner-friendly because it introduces Tunisian crochet basics in a small, manageable project. The ornament pattern includes two different sizes, giving you options for a subtle accent or a bold, cheerful star.
Whether you prefer traditional holiday colors or want to experiment with bright or pastel yarn scraps, the Sheba Star transforms simple materials into a polished, decorative piece with ease.
Tunisian Crochet Pattern
To create your ornament, you’ll work with techniques such as the magic ring, slip knot, forward and return passes, Tunisian crochet in the round, and the Tunisian knit stitch (tks). The design also uses a Tunisian knit stitch bind-off for a clean, tidy finish. Even if these skills are new to you, this project provides an approachable introduction that helps you build confidence while learning something fun and useful. A little blocking helps the star hold its perfect shape, giving it a crisp, professional look.
Fast, festive, and wonderfully satisfying, the Sheba Crochet Star Ornament is ideal for last-minute gifts, craft fairs, classroom treats, or adding handmade charm to your holiday traditions. It’s a quick win for crocheters of all skill levels, and you’ll love how easily it turns leftover yarn into something beautiful. Make a few or make dozens. These stars are as addicting as they are adorable!
