How To Crochet Easy Star Stitch Border For Blankets and More

[@Cari_Crafts]

Btw: I watched this & realized, EVERY type of artist should watch at least a handful of your videos. You give artists the encouragement to be themselves, permission to try new things and the love to know that mistakes are the goal. Everyone would be lucky to listen to you 💛

[@biancaturner725]

In a way Crystal is the lady version of Bob Ross in crochet, wether or not I will crochet the project, I'll most likely watch it anyway, because I like watching and listening to her🎉❤

[@carolynn7259]

Could NOT agree with you more! 👍

[@irishawk2]

Yes i agree with you iris. I read a book many years ago by a renound knitter Mrs Carpenter. In her book she stressed thete are no mistakes in our projects. These are the things that give the project character. I also do not like ripping out so i try dilligently to not make a mistake.

[@sandybrown1439]

Crystal thank you so much. When I first started watching your tutorials I would just follow you and do what you did, now when I watch your tutorials I actually understand what you're doing. That is phenomenal. You are a very good teacher. I've had trouble learning new things all my life. At 69 years old, I'm learning not just following. Thank you again.

[@hellennapima2869]

You a the best teacher I can do it now thanks again.

[@lindasyarnbarn5176]

I think the Star Stitch is one of the prettiest stitches and I’ve never been able to do it until I watched you make it a while back. You made it so easy to understand and I appreciate the things you do for us! Thank you, Crystal!!

[@Dorrie519]

Crystal, I love the way your brain works! Since my strokes I have trouble doing the math and figuring out how to do this. Thanks ever so much for teaching me and everyone else !!!

[@mazie65]

Live the border and the colors you used. I wouldn't have guessed orage would have looked so nice. 💜💜🩵🩵

[@hillbillyheavenWV]

Thank you again & again Crystal for helping to not be afraid to try new patterns & stitches. I love how you teach, so easy to understand you & you don’t go too fast or to slow for me or leave anything out❣️ We all truly appreciate you. 🤗

[@Cari_Crafts]

It's always hard to figure out what borders to do, that is so cool looking, I love it!! I especially love the double border. It really sets the whole project off. Great job!

[@lindal3451]

Thank you for doing this tutorial. I want to put this around the front of my sweater I'm making with the star stitch.

[@carriej5055]

Love the star stitch, so thanks for showing it in this format (border).

[@carolynn7259]

I watch everyone of your videos.....always! Even if I don't prefer the stitch itself. That's OK, not everyone is the same and that is a good thing! In doing so, I make swatches, pattern info on a recipe card with date attached. Fits great in plastic bin for shoes. I can zip thru those really quick. Recently KZbin changed their "Library format" for tutorials. What a PITB!! Took me some time to make my OWN "Library", but well worth it. My personal "Cyclopedia BOD". Being very visual, it's "instant happy time" right at my finger tips, without "scrolling" on my phone or TV. Love this border! Way Cool, and as ever, you Rock on more than one count Crystal❣️

[@karlagroom9715]

👏🏼 you’ve made your own Crystalpedia! I bought a bundle of her hat patterns, printed them and put them in a binder.

[@judyeng9822]

Double border! Thank you! Stands out perfectly! Amazing color combination! God Bless. Take care. Love you. 🙏😇♥️

[@DianneMc]

I never thought to use the star stitch as a border, but look how pretty it is! That is just so nice.

[@luciaoperosa2239]

Thank you!! I love to make blankets in the round in a spiral, it’s very relaxing !! Please 🙏🏻 teach me how to work the star stitch in a spiral, it would be beautiful !!! 🤗💪🏻👏🏻

[@sharbear1968]

Idk if I already commented. I saved this yesterday but getting around to watching in its entirety today. I have a YT playlist just for borders. This is beautiful. My goal is to make my own unique stitch sampler blanket so I’m absolutely in love with these videos for individual stitches or borders. Your tips are beyond appreciated!

[@Kimmiejo_TheCrochetCabin]

I love every video you put out because I always learn something new. I wouldn’t have the courage to show my work if it wasn’t for you Crystal. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ♥️

[@urbancrawlerx]

Blue and orange is one of my most favorite and underrated color combos

[@BAGODAYCROCHET]

💙🧡

[@mcm7444]

Thank you Crystal. You make everything look so easy and always explain so clearly when showing us how to do the stitches 😊I appreciate your help and look forward to your tutorials ❤🎉

[@suzanne2051]

Thank you. The star stitch does make a very nice border. I think that final pop of blanket color makes a huge difference. I would consider the reverse single crochet stitch instead of the single crochet stitch.

[@marilyngrayCraftandcrotchet]

My favorite stitch in a border and will fit perfectly with my niece's moon and stars theme for our newest addition to the family. Thank you so much Crystal ❤

[@denisejf]

I'm always looking for borders. I love the star stitch and now I have another border option. Thank you so much for showing us how to do this. 🥰 I love how you show us close up and are so precise as to where to put the stitches. 🥰 Some others don't keep that in mind and a lot of time I end up passing them over. I always recommend you to new crocheters 🤗 Wishing you a beautiful blessed day 🙏🏻💝

[@Tammy-td5ok]

This is a Fantastic star stich tutorial, and I tried it and did my final around with a picot, Beautiful for a girls, and then I did a crab stitch for a boys border

[@maryb6872]

Thank you....another pretty border to add to my mental list of edgings!

[@crochetizlife]

I think the star stitch is just so beautiful ❤

[@DianEnglish56]

Hi Crystal, Thank you for doing these tutorials. I have learned so many stitches and patterns from you. I so appreciate you sharing your knowledge of crochet, hooks, and yarns with us.

[@Me_Ewe_and_Yarn_Cheryl]

So pretty as a border. I wouldn't have ever thought to do that on my own. I enjoy learning new things at the BOD school 😊

[@joandreyer6956]

What a lovely edging. You are so talented . Thank you.

[@renisha3134]

Thank you for giving options for borders. I can always count on you to wave your magic wand sand yarn to create something beautiful. I have started saving your videos in categories now! Those color combinations are so aesthetically pleasing to the eye, I think I would like to incorporate them into a project. I understand why you love crochet so much, because you have so much knowledge and skill of it. It’s a real blessing that you chose to teach so many others, you’re a fantastic teacher, and person. ❤ I hope this short message brings you much even just a sliver of the joy that you’ve shared with me and countless others. 😊

[@celeneserpa7074]

I love the star stitch it is one of my favorite stitches. I think I will be making a blanket soon. Well Done Crystal 🔮 👏

[@cherylsmith5307]

Crystal, This is a beautiful border and I would not have thought to use the star stitch for one. You always teach wonderful things! 💜🥰

[@denisewessman1079]

Fantastic work at explaining the initial sc row setup. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@irishawk2]

Thank you for doing this star stitch edging. As you were starting the star stitch it looked as if you were going yo crochet in the end pof yarn. Of which i was taught to do 55 yrs ago,by my grandma Ginny. I like Juans weaving oin the ends with the yarn needle . But my least favorite in weaving in the ends. Next is to connect multiple squares.

Ouch...I should have known this sooner! 😂 Just finished a blanket and did a free-form border. Almost makes me want to frog the border and do a star border! Ugh...😂

[@jeanmaggiore3150]

Very pretty. Thanks for sharing this lovely stitch and theceasy-to-follow direction tutorial. Do you have a pattern for wreath motif i can stitch together to make a holiday afghan?

Love this Crystal 👌💜🇬🇧

[@crochetdesign12]

Very nice❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@barbaracabrera207]

*** QUESTION: Can you talk a bit about using different weights of yarn for borders. I was always taught to use SAME yarn as blanket. Even if it's a different color. But I think I've seen you use totally different yarn on borders. Please help!! THANKS! Austin TX USA

[@cemowilliams]

[@barbjarvi6543]

Hi girl

[@lyndadavis4134]

Crystal, do you think I could do this in your 12 point star blanket?

[@smiles2spare]

Just so you know, when you're counting stitches along sides, if you do start and end counting with the middle corner stitches, you'll still have an odd number as if you hadn't counted those TWO middle corner stitches. An odd number plus 2 will still be odd.
