@@Not3HobbitsInATrenchcoatso double crochet is like single crochet but it's a bit different, in double crochet the size of your stitches get a bit taller then single crochet. You can do double crochet by doing the first grab your yarn around the hook and then your going to stick into the 4th chain, only do it in the 4th chain when your starting a row, and then your going to bring up the loop bring up the loop, what you're really doing is reaching back, scooping up the yarn, just like this pulling it back through and you now have tree loops on your hook, again pull it through the first two loops and you'll now have two loops on your hook wrap your yarn around the hook and pull it through the last two loops, you'll now have one loop on your hook and your first double crochet for this row is done. And in the same roow you don't have to start the double crochet from the 4th chain.
Loved this! In case this is helpful to anyone else, you can make the stars smaller by skipping the last row of increases (right where you have 15 stitches) and start working on the points exactly as described in the video, but doing only 2 slip stitches instead of 3 in between each point!
A month late but if you follow the IG link to the owner of the pattern she has a crescent moon pattern down a little bit on her page! Edit: hopefully this takes you straight to that post instagram.com/akamatra/
All of these amigurumi patterns are adorable! I know you haven’t done one of these in a while but if you want to make one, I think a turtle pattern would look super cute!

Yay, I finally gave this a try! As a beginner at amigurumi, I really appreciate your clear and concise instructions and imagery. Thank you so much for sharing this great design, and a huge thanks to Akamatra!
My daughter is loving these little mini figures I've been watching of yours. She has the flower, a few hearts, a star and rainbow now. She has them on her backpack. All her friends want me to make them some now.
I've watched 2 of your videos this morning and I absolutely love them. I love your humor and that your a lazy crafter like me. I learned how to crochet starting in March when the states went into quarantine for COVID. And now I am hooked!!! I've made leg warmers, granny squares for 2 blankets. So your blocking video was awesome. Thank you! I'm currently working on snowflakes, these stars, and fingerless gloves. I do not read patterns very well so all that I have learned has been through your videos and video chat with my best friend who lives in Florida. My husband is active duty military and crocheting has already been such a huge stress relief. It will keep my hands and mind distracted during his next and upcoming deployment. Your videos will get me through the time. Thanks again and have a happy day.
Thank you sooo much for this! I am a beginner at Crochet and your videos are so easy to follow! Your voice is perfect and all around I just want to thank you!
Watching this before I even start trying to crochet and you lost me at double crochet and half crochet 😂 rewatching until I get it, but i still love how well you showed us how to make this thank you
What a cute little star. I love all of your patterns & critters. You do such an amazing job of explaining how to do the stitches too. Thanks for sharing.🥰
My first one has a certain homemade charm, but it still looks super cute! I somehow ended up with a 6 pointed star for one of the sides, so I kept that one as practice and had another go!
AAH! Thank you so much! I just started crocheting a few weeks ago and this is my first project!!!! You did such a great job explaining everything!!! TYSM! I'm 12 and its been hard trying to learn Amigurumi but you changed it all! :3
i just got the best idea before you sew the two bits together you can put a angry face on the other side of the star and you can turn it around from happy to angry!
This was super easy to do. I made a teal coloured one and I’m going to make more. I’ve shared the video with my cousins as they love crocheting too. Thank you so much☺️.
Pattern: Magic ring R1: 5sc in magic ring (5) (don't pull too tight just yet) R2: inc x5 (10) (now close magic ring) R3: [sc, inc] x5 (15) R4: [sc, sc, inc] x5 (20) R5: in the stitch where now the inc is {hdc, dc, hdc, sc} 3sl st, [{sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc} 3sl st] x4. Fasten off Now make the second star. Cut longer thread to sew everything up Place safety eyes and embroider a smile on the star you like most Sew these two parts through back loops only
Oh this video is amazing I'm just starting out with crochet and you've explained it so well I'm about to start my star now. Thank you I def have subscribed !
Love the idea of a garland. Maybe make the stars with a yarn that has a sparkle to it. Fasten the stars to the garland with the stitch markers then I can give them away right off the tree.
@@HookedbyRobin I've been interested in doing some crochet when I was younger, and now that I grew up and earned enough money for other things, I decided to buy a crochet set!
I have 3 competitive dancers and am making these for their teammates for this competition season with s sweet little note that says "You're a star to me!🌟"
I'm Brazilian and I don't speak English. But I managed to learn everything. Thank you so much for sharing, and thank you for your excellent explanation !!!
I just used your star pattern to put a star on a wind spinner and it looks great. I didn't put a face on or stuff it but I did add bells on the 2 lower points.
I'm so glad I found this project. I have little yarn left and I climb the walls with nothing to do. I don't walk very well and sitting with nothing to do with my hands drives me to be very sad. My next SS check will allow me to buy a little more yarn.
Im a huge fan of your tutorials. The patterns are adorable, your instructions are very clear & easy to follow, your voice is so charming & your nails are Always gorgeous. Your site is a treasure. Thanks so much.
