Granny Star Tree Topper and Other Decorations

A star crocheted in the style of a granny square which can be used to make a retro Christmas tree topper, hanging ornament, garland, coasters, place mats, table centrepiece, wall hanging, throw, doily, applique, aroma diffuser, cushions, gift tags, greetings card toppers or embellishments.

The star can be made in any size from about 5.5cm (2 inches) upwards - the only limitation is the size of the blocking surface you have available.

The tree topper is double-sided with an internal pocket that the top of the tree is inserted into. My tree topper is approximately 22cm (9 inches) wide but it can be made in whatever size suits your tree.

The PDF contains written instructions using American and British crochet terms, colour crochet charts and a photo tutorial showing how to crochet the stars and how to turn them into various types of decorations including a tree topper, gift tag, cushion etc. It also includes a printable blocking guide and template (but a printer isn't essential).
