Free Crochet Lucky Star Pillow Pattern

Starfish pillow

Seconding the confusion about the written directions. The problem is the directions around how the rounds start. But I found if I counted backwards from the points I was able to figure out whether or not I was doing sc1 in the same stitch as the join. It came out great! I added a bit of trim to make it look a bit like a sea star.

Great diagram, confusing instructions

The diagram is great but the written pattern can be confusing to beginners. When it tells you “Sl st in first ch-1 sp. Ch 1. *(1 sc. Ch 1) twice in next ch-1 sp.” in row two, based on the diagram, you should be working the first set of 1sc. Ch1 into the the same space as the sl st. This mistake is made repeatedly throughout the pattern and can be confusing if you’re not using the diagram.

The join in the diagram looks to be in the center of the middle section, but the pattern doesn’t read like that. Also my join looks messy and I’m having trouble reading the pattern when it comes increasing. I’m an experienced crocheter.
