I found it at Arts and Design.
It is easy and charming.
Work it like this:
Use Straight Stitch to make a cross

I love it! I wonder if it would work with two different colours? One needle threaded with the blue for the outer cross, and perhaps another threaded with silver for the inner cross?
Now, that is very pretty. Perfect for the Star that guided the Magi on a Christmas card!
Heavenly is the right word for it.
That makes a beauty of a star, the little cross is the sparkle.
And I agree, perfect for a Christmas theme project.
Nice tutorial too.
Great stitch!
