A Christmas Star

Who is into crocheting?  Do you need any new Christmas ideas?  Here is one pattern to try out.  I know how to do the common granny square so it should be easy for me to try, when I get the chance to. I came across this idea when someone else shared the instructions on the group page. 

Here’s what you need:

• worsted weight yarn (from your Kraut jar!)
• H hook
• tapestry needle
