It’s been a while since I crocheted my last granny square. So I made a simple square which is cool for stash buster projects. It’s a pop-up 5-pointed star on a solid square with many possibilities. This crochet Morning Star square design is dedicated to a person that has been helping me a lot in my study.

Materials: ( I used )
4mm crochet hook
Lightweight/ DK yarn: various colors of my leftover yarn
Scissors
Yarn needle
Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each round/row instead of ch3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch2 then dc into the same stitch ( counted as 1st dc ). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each round/row, so just choose your best technique.
This crochet Morning Star square pattern can be made with any hook size, choose a yarn type that matches your hook.
