Materials:

8 ply acrylic yarn
Crochet hooks (3 mm and another size for size comparison)
Stitch markers

Pattern:

Magic Ring & Round 1:

Create a magic ring.
Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet).
Work 14 double crochets (dc) into the ring.
Pull ring tight to close.
Slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the initial chain 3 to join.

Round 2 (Increase Round):

Chain 3 (counts as dc).
Work in back loops only, place 2 dc in each stitch around.
You will have 30 dc by the end of this round.
Sl st to the first chain to join.

Round 3 (Establishing the Star Pattern):

Chain 3 (counts as dc).
In the back loops only, 1 dc in next stitch, 1 dc in next stitch, 2 dc in next stitch (increase by placing 2 dc in the same loop).
Repeat ... around – this should create the pattern "1 dc, 1 dc, 2 dc".
You will have 40 dc by the end of this round.

For Round 4:

Chain 3 (counts as dc).
Work 1 dc in each of the next 3 stitches, then 2 dc in the following stitch (increase).
Repeat ... all around.
You should end up with 50 dc.

Round 5 (Preparation for Star Points):

Mark every 10th stitch with a stitch marker to separate the sections for points of the star.
In this pattern, you should have 5 sections of 10 dc each due to the 50 stitches from Round 4.

Star Points:

Chain 3 (counts as dc).
Work 1 dc in each stitch up to the stitch marker.
Decrease and shape each point by skipping the first and last stitch of the section, working down to 1 stitch.
Use slip stitches between the points to decrease.
Work single crochets (sc) around the edges of the star for a cleaner finish, placing 2 sc in the gaps and 1 sc on the top of the points.
Repeat this process for each of the 5 points of the star.
