Step 4:

Repeat this pattern 9 more times (1 DC, 2 CH).

Step 6:

In this step, work chain 2 first. Now yarn over; insert your hook into the chain 2 space, yarn over again, and pull through the chain 2 space. See there are 3 loops in your hook. Insert the hook through the same space again, yarn over, and pull through one more time. You will see the 6 loops in your hook. 

Step 7:

Now yarn over, and pull through into all 6 loops, and make a slip stitch. This is called a popcorn stitch.

Chain 2.

Step 17:

Now 1 TC, 2 DC, 1 HDC into the same Ch 2 space. 

Step 18:

Work 1 chain.

Step 19:

1 SC into the next Ch 2 space.

Step 20: 

Chain 1 again.

Step 21: 

Repeat the pattern in each next chain 2 space (1 HDC, 2 DC, 1 TC, Ch 3, 1 TC, 2 DC, 1 HDC), then CH 2 and 1 SC the next chain 2 space. Secure the end with a slip stitch through the adjacent top chain stitch. 

Step 22: 

Keeping an inch extra, cut the yarn and sew the remaining yarn at the backside of the pattern.

Step 23: 

Attach a yarn loop with the crochet star and add a bead or two as you like.
