octagon star

Hello there!!
This is my crochet practice sample. I usually give this pattern for my student in crochet class. It's quiet easy, but comes in a unique result. If you make a lot of these in a good color combination it'll make a beautiful afghan blanket or cushion or even tablecloth. Here is the link to it's original pattern http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/60154.html?noImages=
or you can just click on tittle. I will translate this pattern in to Indonesian and post it..
