Can someone tell me what this means in simplified terms?????? On WS rows, you will join Segment 2 with the picked-up sts along Segment 1 by working p2tog over last st of Segment 2 and next picked-up st.

Row 1: (RS) Sl 1 wyb, k8, sssk, knit to end—2 sts dec’d.

Love all the ideas. Check out the Seaside Throw in Interweave Crochet Spring 2009 for ideas on connecting the stars together to form something larger and functional, like hats, scarves, etc... www.interweavecrochet.com/.../materials-spring09.asp

Great gift in using up extra yarn for coasters.....like someone already said "guilt-free"!!

sssk - slip 3 stitches knitwise and then knit them together.

There is an explanation here - www.knittingdaily.com/.../ssk-decrease.aspx which shows 2 slipped stitches. sssk is basically the same, but slip 3 stitches.

Ok, I'm a new knitter and have just finished making a baby blanket - I want some stars to decorate it with, and need to know what sssk is please?

To the first poster: Trust me, if I thought I could knit a food and shelter generating machine I would, but in the meantime I'll dispense with my sense of self-piety and have some fun with these stars.

Most of my knitting is for charity & I think these little stars would be lovely knitted and then appliqued (in a "sprinkling" of different colors & sizes?) on a plain sweater, hat, or pair of children's socks.

I, too, saw these stars in the magazine and lusted for the pattern. Thank you for sharing!

My church knitting group makes (over 300 this past year) dishrags to give out at the free health fair we host every spring. I love making different patterns and learning new techniques, even for the lowly dishrags I make. I'll be making this for many reasons and if it brings a smile to people now or at the health fair, it will be worth the time and $ I spent!

I knitted a baby blanket that I planned to give as a gift. It got snagged in 3 places and I put it aside and bought a gift. I can knit some of these stars and cover the snags, and save me the anguish of ripping it all out and starting over!

I noticed these in the magazine and was disappointed that there was no pattern for them. Thanks so much for publishing the pattern for us here! Not sure yet how I'll use them, maybe just for joy -- but I will.

Very nice pattern and useful, too! Everything doesn't have to have an immediate purpose.

If the only goal is to have enough items to clothe the poor, we could buy them and put them in use more quickly than knitting them! :)

Sooo cute! I'm going to make some for coasters for Christmastime. And rrichter, what's wrong with doing some stuff for yourself sometimes? It could also be said you're wasting time by being on the internet when you could be knitting!

Several years ago my sister (in England) gave me a hot water bottle shaped like a star as a gag gift. Looking at this, I think I can use the concept to knit it a cover! Thanks for sharing this cute pattern.

Hmmm, couldn't the large one be the TOP of a hat? Just have to figure out how many stitches to add around the edges to build on to make the "hat" portion...the smaller ones could be additions to decorate, add as felted appliques...... tassles on scarves.........hmmm, solves both the curiosity of learning and teaching and providing something unique for charity! Let your mind travel through creativity and turn those daydreams into reality! Wahoo!

Thank you so much for providing these free patterns; they will make great "gift tags" for Christams gifts. Life is all about balance; doing good for other and for self; knitting helps me do both :-)
