Star of David Crochet Ornament
The Star of David Crochet Ornament is a surprisingly simple pattern to crochet for the holidays. You'll need less than a skein of white worsted weight yarn to work up these star-shaped crochet ornaments, plus they are accented with iridescent beads to give them a little hint of sparkle. You won't believe how quick and easy these ornaments are to crochet, and you can simply use the photo as a guide when it's time to assemble them. Each ornament measures half an inch in diameter.
