About this pattern

Folk stars are one of my favorite things to stitch: once you've done the first point, the rest just flows. This little star has eight red points around a golden center, with tiny green sprigs between them, in a Scandinavian-inspired style.

It's 29 x 29 stitches, about 2.1 inches on 14-count Aida, in 3 DMC colors. The counting is simple and repetitive, which makes it a relaxing beginner project and a great one for learning to stitch symmetrical shapes.

Finish it in a small hoop for the tree, sew it onto a felt ornament, or stitch several for a row of matching gift tags. It also looks lovely in a white frame all winter long.

You get a full color chart, a black and white symbol chart, a large print version, a Pattern Keeper compatible PDF and a floss key with DMC numbers. Happy stitching!

Questions

How do I get my pattern?

Free patterns download instantly after you join the letter on the free patterns page.

Is this a physical kit?

No. This is a digital PDF download. No fabric, thread or hoop is included and nothing is shipped. The floss key lists every DMC color you need.

How do I print it?

Print at 100% scale (or "actual size") on US Letter or A4 paper. The black & white chart saves ink and is easy to read. You can also stitch straight from a tablet.

Does it work with Pattern Keeper?

Yes. A Pattern Keeper friendly PDF is included, so you can import it and mark stitches off as you go. Backstitch (if any) is listed separately, because Pattern Keeper only tracks full crosses.

What if something is wrong with my file?

If a file has a problem, we'll fix it or refund you. Just send Sara a message. See the refund policy for details.
