Be-Spokgd Star
Though the pattern is written for a six-pointed star, it is simple to change to 5, 7, 8, etc...Inround 1,sc the desired #of points and continue with the same multiple in subsequentrounds. SpecialStitches fpdc/fptr = dc/tr around post of next st, do not work in top of st htr3tog = (YO x 2, insert hook into st, YO and draw loop through st, YO and draw through 2 loops on hook) x 3, YC and draw through all loops on hook BLslst2tog = (insert hook front-to-back in back loop of next st) x 2, YO and draw through sts and loop on hook Begin in adj loop 1. 6 sc, join 2. ch 1 (not a st), beg in same st as join: [2sc] x 6, join (12) 3. ch 2 (counts as hdc), beg in next sc: hdc, (ch 2, hdc 2) x 5, ch 2, join to top of beg ch 2 (12 hdc, 6 ch-2 sps) Do not join the following rounds 4. reverse slst in previous ch-2 sp, ch1 (not a st), (fpdc 2, [3sc] in ch2sp), repeat ( -) around ending with [3sc] in ch2 sp of join 5.

General Instructions, Hints and Tips
Sts inside brackets [] = repeat st stated number in same st or sp Instructions inside parenthesis () = repeat instructions given number of times Instructions between \* _ \* = repeat instructions as directed Numbers in parenthesis (0o) = number of stitches in that row/round
Crochet Abbreviations
adj = adjustable beg = beginning BL/O = back loop / only ch = chain dc = double crochet EO = end off FL/O = front loop / only fp = front post hdc = half-double crochet htr = half-treble crochet inc = increase sc = single crochet sl = slip slst = slip stitch sk = skip sp(s) = space(s) st(s) = stitch(es) tog = together tr = treble crochet YO = yarn over
