square into star



A Christmas star that started out as a square.




Weaving ch-28 loops over and under the sides of the square...oh, I love this pattern!




The pattern is from MAGIC CROCHET magazine October 2002 - Number 140 and designed Hiroko Hanai.




At first, my crochet thread was causing quite a knotted mess (because you are unable to shove the ball of thread thru each corner opening when weaving) but I just let it.



Cause a mess, that is.


Because in the end, after you clip your threads --- voilĂ ! -- the twisted square turns into a beautiful Christmas star.
