I was recently checking out Pinterest for crochet star patterns I wanted to use in another project. While I was practicing a couple different patterns, I ended up with a mash up of a few of them so I thought I would share. These stars are great for holiday decorations (think 4th of July or Christmas)!

I love what you do! Just a starter in crochet and knitting. But my neighbor will teach me these stars. And after a lot of practice I hopefully will be able to crochet the Kristie cardigan.
Warm greetings from the Netherlands,

MoJuffie, wow! Thank you for the sweet and kind words. I think you will be able to make the cardigan in no time! It is really just three rectangles! The sleeves are probably the hardest part but I tried not to make them too complicated! Happy crocheting!
