Crocheting the Stars

• Begin with a magic ring.

Inside the magic ring:

• Make one single crochet.
• Make one double crochet.
• Chain two.
• Make another double crochet.
• Repeat the above steps four more times to form a total of five points.
• Pull the center yarn to close the magic ring tightly.
• Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing.
• Thread the tail onto a yarn needle.
• Pass the needle through the first single crochet stitch to secure the star.

Crocheting the Garland (Pelotitas)

• Begin with a magic knot.
• Chain three.

In the first chain stitch:

• Make five double crochets without completing them.
• You should have six loops on the hook.
• Yarn over and pull through all six loops on the hook.
• Chain one to secure the pelotita.

Repeat the process:

• Chain three.
• Make five incomplete double crochets into the first chain.
• Pull through all loops and chain one to secure.
• Continue this pattern until you reach the desired garland length.

Decorating the Tree

• Start decorating from the top of the tree downward.
• Place a star at the tip of the tree.
• Begin wrapping the garland around the tree.
• Use the yarn tails from the stars to sew them onto the tree.
• Pass the yarn needle through the stitches of the tree to secure the stars.
• Tie the garland to the star’s yarn tails between each pelotita.
• Avoid using glue by securely tying the pieces together with yarn.
• Attach more stars at intervals along the garland to keep it in place.
• For a cleaner look, trim any excess yarn tails—except for the top star.
