Star Overlay

Star Overlay was inspired by a pattern found in a very old book that had a snowflake which was crocheted and then overlaid onto a square. The concept was intriguing, and Heartmade Blessings was in need of a new star square pattern to use in comfortghans destined for families of soldiers. In Star Overlay, you first create the star. Then after making a few rounds of the square, the star is crocheted right onto the square (no sewing it on later - I hate doing that).

Here is the pattern: Star Overlay

Well now that is cute. I'll give it a try. Thanks for posting! I love your patterns and most that I have saved today have been from your site.

I actually have question about this pattern. When working the background square are you working in the dc space or are you working in the stitch?
