Crocheted Star of Bethlehem Ornament

As some of you may remember from last week’s post, every year I pick an ornament to crochet, and I go crazy making tons of them for Christmas.  I put them on my tree, give them to friends, and use them as decorations on gifts.  

And as a special thank you to all of you who showed your support by following my site, liking my page on Facebook, or just stopping by to check things out, I am providing this year’s pattern below.  Enjoy!
