Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR (6)
Rnd 2: inc around (12)
Rnd 3: sc around (12)
Continue working evenly until you have a small rounded center.
Form six points around the outside by working short groups of stitches and decreasing toward each point.
For each point:
Row 1: 4 sc (4)
Row 2: dec, 2 sc (3)
Row 3: dec, 1 sc (2)
Row 4: dec (1)
FO after completing each point.
Make a second star if you want a thicker decoration. Place the two stars together and sew around the edges.
