In this DROPS video we show how to crochet a star stitch pattern back and forth.
You start by crocheting an uneven number of chain sts.
You need a minimum of 7 ch for 1 star, 9 ch makes 2 stars, 11 ch makes 3 stars and so on. On our sample we ch 13 for 4 stars.
Row 1 (RS): pick up 5 sts starting in 2nd ch from hook = 6 sts on hook, make a yo and pull through all 6 sts, ch 1 which creates a hole on top of the 6 sts, *pick up 1 st in the hole, 1 st in the side of the last st of 6 sts, 1 st in the same ch as the last st of 6 sts was picked up in, 1 st in each of next 2 chain = 6 sts on hook, make a yo and pull through all 6 sts, ch 1*, repeat *-*. Make 1 htr in last ch.
Row 2 (WS): ch 2, work 2 htr in "each star hole", end row with 1 htr in last st.
Row 3: ch 3, pick up 1 st in 2nd and 3rd chain from hook, 1 st in first 3 sts on row = 6 sts on hook, make a yo and pull through all 6 sts, ch 1, *pick up 1 st in the hole, 1 st in the side of the last st of 6 sts, 1 st in the same st as the last st of 6 sts was picked up in, 1 st in each of next 2 sts = 6 sts on hook, make a yo and pull through all 6 sts, ch 1*, repeat *-*. Make 1 htr in last ch.
Repeat row 2 and 3 for star pattern.

I think the video is excellent. You used a big needle and thick yarn to show the stitches, colour of yarn against background is great and it is slow enough to understand but not so slow that you get impatient. Thanks I will be looking at more of these videos.
