          \ud83c\udf1f Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          This granny square is worked in the round<\/strong>, starting from the center and building outward. The star shape<\/strong> is formed first, and then it’s squared off with background rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \u2b50 Round 1 \u2013 Magic Ring & Center Circle<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Start with a magic ring<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Ch 2 (counts as first hdc), then work 9 hdc<\/strong> into the ring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Pull the ring closed and sl st into the top of the beginning ch-2.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            \ud83d\udd04 Total: 10 hdc<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u2b50 Round 2 \u2013 Create Star Points<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            This round forms the 5 points of the star<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. Ch 5, sl st in 2nd ch from hook (picot tip), sc in next ch, hdc in next, dc in last ch.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Skip 1 st on the round below, sl st into next st to anchor the point.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            3. Repeat from step 1 four more times to make 5 points.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            4. Sl st to the base of the first point.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              \ud83d\udd04 You should now have 5 star points<\/strong> around the circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \ud83d\udca1 Optional variation:<\/strong> To make a 6-pointed star<\/strong>, use 12 hdc in Round 1, and repeat the point-making process 6 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \ud83c\udfa8 Round 3 \u2013 Squaring Off the Star<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

              Switch to Color B (background color)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Now we\u2019ll crochet around the star, filling the gaps and creating a square shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. Attach yarn with a sl st in the space between two star points.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              2. Ch 3 (counts as dc), dc in same space.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
              3. Work 1 dc in the side of each point<\/strong> (around the dc and hdc posts), and 2 dc<\/strong> between each point.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              4. For the corners<\/strong>, choose 4 evenly spaced locations (between points) and work: (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc)<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                This round is a bit flexible \u2014 the idea is to make sure the shape is balanced and square. Adjust stitch placement slightly if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \ud83d\udfe6 Round 4 \u2013 Granny Square Round<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                1. Start in any corner ch-2 space<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                2. Ch 3 (counts as dc), 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc<\/em> in the same space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                3. In each side space, work 3 dc<\/strong> clusters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                4. In each corner, work: 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                  Repeat around. Sl st to top of ch-3 to close the round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  You should now have a traditional granny square look, with a star centered in the middle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
