Crochet 4th of July Star Potholder
I wanted to make a red, white, and blue 4th of July Crochet pattern. So I thought up this nice star potholder. I really like how the crochet potholder turned out. It measures about 7 inches by 7 inches.

I could only fit 5 points to the star. Each star has 5 stitches plus 1 = 6 stitches per point. Instructions say points are started on row with 30 stitches. 6 stitches x 6 points = 36 stitches needed for 6 star points. Fg
