READ through before commencing
Step 1: Holding the 2 stars, made in 2 strands of DK, WS to each other, slip
Step 2: Single crochet around, the STAR joining BOTH sides together, working a slip st into the Slip stitch, and at the point of the Stars, work sc, ch1, sc, HALF way through.
Step 3: I add the Saftey Eyes, and I usually start stuffing lightly before finishing the LAST point, you can either add the key chain at the TOP of one of the sc, ch1sc, or use your ends to attach once finished.
Tips and Variations:
- Yarn Choices: experiment with different yarn weights and colours for unique looks. Thicker yarn will create larger stars.
- Embellishments: Add a smile and cheeks as shown in the pictures. beads, sequins, or embroidery to your stars for extra sparkle.
- Project Ideas: Use these stars to decorate gifts, create garlands, embellish hats or bags, or even make a mobile for a baby’s nursery.
