I just finished one of these. The pattern is nicely written, and I found it very easy to follow. Its kind of fun to watch the star take shape. The dishcloth turned out super cute. Mine is a little wonky, but the wonkiness is almost sculptural, and sort of enhances the shape.

 

It seems sort of small to me now that I've finished it, (even though it turned out to be nearly 8 inches from point to point), but I think its big enough to be practical. I used an H hook. I may try again with an I, just to get a slightly bigger cloth.

 

Thanks for the great pattern.
