    21st row: dc into sp between (5 ch, dtr) of previous row; cut yarn and pull end through last st.

    This completes one point of the star. Crochet the remaining four points in the same way.

    To Complete
    1
    Bend a small loop at one end of the wire; this is the top point of the star. Use the template to bend the wire into a star shape. Overlap the ends by 2cm and stick them together with tape.

    2 Attach the crochet to the frame either by working double crochet stitches over the wire and the edge of the crochet star points. Alternatively, you can sew the crochet to the wire frame with blanket stitches using a double length of crochet cotton.

    3 Thread a hanging cord through the wire loop at the top of the star.
