Stuck with Ewe

This pattern has been in the works for quite some time.

Before I could get a single picture or measure gauge, she took them out and completely ruined broke them in. I was a little bit crushed and didn't feel like remaking them so soon, so I made a Star Stitch tutorial instead. Find it HERE.

If you don't have time to learn Star Stitch at the moment, pin itHERE. And if you'd like to keep in the loop, like Stuck with Ewe on Facebook.

Materials:
Yarn  in any weight (I used Peaches & Cream cotton)Crochet hook in a matching size (I used an I/5.5mm) 
Notes: I began with a row ofhdc versus a chain. In my opinion, it's easier to work the stars intohdcs than chains. You can always substitute a chain if that's what you prefer. Each row begins with a Beginning star (beg star), which is different from the…
