Star Stitch Crochet Tutorial (Beginner-Friendly)

What is the Star Stitch? The Star Stitch (also called Marguerite Stitch) is a dense, textured crochet technique that forms rows of star-shaped clusters. It’s perfect for creating eye-catching patterns in scarves, pouches, and blankets.

Materials Needed

Worsted weight yarn
4.0mm or 4.5mm crochet hook
Tapestry needle
Scissors

Abbreviations (US Terms)

CH – Chain
SC – Single Crochet
YO – Yarn Over
SL ST – Slip Stitch

Foundation Row

CH a multiple of 2 + 1 (e.g., CH 21)
Row 1: SC across all chains (acts as base row)

Star Stitch Row – Step-by-Step

Row 2 – Forming the Stars

CH 3 (counts as first eye)
Insert hook in 2nd CH from hook, pull up a loop
Insert hook in 3rd CH, pull up loop
Insert into 1st SC, pull up loop
Insert into next SC, pull up loop
Insert into next SC again, pull up loop

You now have 6 loops on hook

YO and pull through all 6 loops
CH 1 (this closes the star and forms the "eye")

👉 Now:

Insert hook into that "eye" (the CH 1 you just made)
Pull up a loop
Then insert into last loop used in the previous star
Pull up another loop
Then go into next 2 SCs, pull up 2 more loops
YO, pull through all 6
CH 1
🔁 Repeat across row

Row 3 – Filling the Stars

CH 1, SC into top of each star + 1 SC into the eye
You’ll end with the same stitch count as the foundation row

Pattern Repeat

Repeat Rows 2 & 3 for your desired height

Tips

Keep loops even for a symmetrical star shape
Blocking enhances the star definition
Use solid or gradient yarns — variegated may hide the stars

Best Used For:

Wristlets, clutches, scarves, dishcloths, baby blankets
