Notes
The Star Ornament is worked in the round, with FP worked facing RS and RP facing WS. Each round is worked in smaller increments with adding as many lps on the hook as possible (FP), turning the work around and working the lps off to last 3 lps (RP) from the opposite side of the hook.

Return pass can be worked from the other end of the same yarn ball or from a separate yarn ball.

It is crucial to use a stitch marker to mark 1st st of each rnd and move it up with each consecutive rnd.

The st count refers to the number of lps per round.
