Hereit is! The little star crochet pattern! Below you will find all the details required to make as many stars as you like. There is a written pattern as well as a pattern chart. Have fun and please share your creations!
Gauge is not critical for this pattern. You can make them as small or large as you like. Just make sure that you use a hook that matches the weight of your yarn should you decide to use a different yarn.
Note that you will make a ch2 after each puff stitch. In total there are three chain stitches between two puff stitches; on to secure the puff stitch and two more. In the chart, however, you only see the two chain stitches you make between the puff stitches.
In the third round of this pattern, you make a spike stitch. The spike stitch is a regular sc stitch, but it is made in a dc from round 1. Make sure to pull up the loop long enough to compensate for the extra height of this stitch.
Make as many stars as you like in the colours that please you! To join them I made a crochet chain using the red and white Scheepjes Merino Soft held together using a 6,0mm hook. First, ch16 and join in the first st using a sl st (this is the loop to hang the garland), then *ch15 and attach the first star with a sc in one of the ch3-sp of the points. Repeat from * until all stars are attached to the crochet chain, ch15 once more and mark the last st, ch16 and join with a sl st in the marked st (that is your second loop to hang the garland). Secure the ends and weave them in.
The perfect bedtime story reminds little ones how much they are loved before drifting off to glad dreams. With beautiful illustrations and the delight that Bunnies By The Bay characters and stories bring this is sure to become a family favorite.

We've all heard the lullaby Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. It's madly famous. Today I noticed that the melody used in the piece is actually used in The Alphabet Song. ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ or whatever it's called. If you listen to Baa Baa Black Sheep you are also able to notice that the tune is quite close to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
This particular melody? Musically, it's simple, memorable, and easy for children and adults to sing and play because of its short range (6 notes, less than an octave). It's rhythmically repetitive and pretty much as simple as you can get: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (8) x6 which makes it very easy to put words to, and very easy to remember. Also more subjectively, it's a lovely little melody, it's not surprising it's stuck around.
The question as to why twinkle twinkle is such a memorable and well loved melody is despite its simplicity is difficult to answer without either being too technical or too hand-wavy, but suffice to say that it packs a lot of content into it short and sweet package. It's conversational, it sort of raises a question and answers it. It has a sort of tension and release, with the middle section being reassuringly answered by the same melodic phrase that came at the beginning. The harmonic structure is perfectly resolved: I'd be hard pressed to think of a more "complete" sounding short melody.
I think it's just one of those melodies like "oh when the saints" "amazing grace" "O tannenbaum/Oh Christmas Tree/The red flag etc." - which knows exactly what it is, doesn't have any unnecessary frills: every note is pretty much there for a purpose, and it makes them pretty timeless. "Amazing Grace" and "Oh when the saints" function very differently harmonically to "Twinkle Twinkle", but the point I just made applies to them both. But if it was easy to exactly quantify what makes these melodies so timeless, then we'd all be writing them. There's an element of tradition of course, but there's more to it than that. I'm sure people have written long books about it.
Some of this is certainly a feedback loop: it's popular to use this melody because it's popular to use this melody. Once you start using a melody for multiple songs, it becomes more likely that that melody will be used for the next song!

I noticed when my baby sisters are listening to a certain melody, I start singing Itsy Bitsy Spider or Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. This makes me wonder if they are the same melody with different lyrics.
The song by Ives we're listening today, A Christmas Carol, has nothing to do with Memories, it's almost a hymn that fits the common idea of a Christmas song: the star, the Child, the angels... We don't know for sure when he composed it; it may have been in 1894, when he was twenty; in any case, before 1897. He surely wrote it for family celebrations at Christmas, though he suggested it could also be sung in church; other sources indicate that it was intended as a church song from the very beginning. We don't even know for sure who wrote the lyrics. According to Ives, it was traditional, but they were later attributed to the composer; probably, both statements are true, and Ives took some easily recognizable pieces of Christmas carols here and there to make a collage.
