Thank you for this wonderful pattern. I love it. I like when math and knitting cross paths. I was so fascinated when I saw this that I just couldn't rest until I tried it. I have 3 done already with plans for more. I first used a 100 gram ball of a random striped sock yarn. I did the pattern as written and when I was done it looked like I had used just over half of the ball so I did one with 2 rows between decreases and had just a few yards left. They are both beautiful. Then I found that Vanna's Choice from Lion Brand has a line called Glamour that is perfect for the tree topper. I used the white with a silver thread which is called diamond and it is the most beautiful of all because it sparkles so. I also have Vanna's cream color with a gold thread in it called topaz that I am doing next. I am addicted. I wondered how you attach it to the tree just as a few others have mentioned.

This is the lovliest thing I've seen in a long time. I plan on making this for so many people; thinking that yarn with metallic twisted in for a bit of shine would definately be splendid!

Oh my, Norah, oh my, oh my, oh my! This star is so beautiful already in white, but I am also thinking metallic yarn. Would that work with this technique or too slippery? Obviously it would be unfeltable, but if it does work, wont' it ever twinkle! Anyway, it's on my list, thank you so much!

I couldn't download the pattern - it looks like so much fun to make and my daughter's geometry teacher would LOVE this as a xmas gift. Please help so I can get the pattern!

Thanks. JCooke9@nyc.rr.com

I just read everyone's comments. What whiners you are! Someone gives you a FREE pattern and all you can do is complain that the same person made mistakes in their sweater pattern, it is too heavy for your tree, you want the crochet pattern. Be grateful that this was free and you didn't have to pay for it or go travel to a store and buy it. Celebrate the fact that someone spent their precious time writing out the pattern. Get a life and a job!!

This is for margiev2 and Elizabeth Hyman:

The pattern for the gorgeous red sweater can be found in the Berroco pattern booklet "Norah Gaughan, Volume 3". It is called "Strawberry Hill" sweater and it was published in the Fall of 2008. Here is the link:

And you are quite welcome, yarnyoda! Glad I could be of help!

Do you have the pattern for the crocheted tipper?

Great pattern, looks fun and challenging. Imagine it knit in fine wire and no stuffing! The yarn version with stuffing would be too heavy for my tree, but would make a good toy.
