How to Crochet a “Little Stars” Border – Free Edging Pattern

Today, I’d like to share with you this new crochet edging pattern made with many little crochet stars. This is what I called the “Little Stars” border.

I initially thought of this border when I was trying to think of a cute border for my granny square Christmas blanket. And the star border turned out very cute, but I ended up using another border for my blanket.

Moreover, I thought that this Little Stars border would look better on a baby blanket, or a 4th of July project, or some Wonderwoman and Captain America kind of projects! Lol, just kidding…

But for real, if you happen to be making something themed after some sort of flying superhero, I would definitely consider this border as the perfect finishing touch!

The way you crochet the Little Star border is very similar to the more known flower or heart borders.

So, we’ll be crocheting around the post of two half double crochet stitches. If you need a little refresher about the crochet stitch anatomy, take a look at this blog post HERE!
