Let’s start!
Make a magic ring. Work in rounds with a stitch marker. It can be a colored pin or thread of contrasting color. Pin a marker to 1st stitch of a round. Every new round must be started with a stitch at the marker.
Round 1: 5 sc into magic loop (5)
Round 2: [2 sc in one st] x 5 (10)
Round 3: [sc, 3 sc in one st] x 5 (20, Photo 1)
Round 4: [slst, sc, 3 sc in one st, sc] x 5 (30, Photo 2)
Round 5: [slst, 2 sc, 3 sc in one st, 2 sc] x 5 (40, Photo 3)
Round 6: [slst, 3 sc, 3 sc in one st, 3 sc] x 5 (50, Photo 4)
Round 7: [slst, 4 sc, 3 sc in one st, 4 sc] x 5 (60)
Round 8: [slst, 5 sc, 3 sc in one st, 5 sc] x 5 (70)
Round 9: [slst, 6 sc, 3 sc in one st, 6 sc] x 5 (80)
Round 10: [slst, 7 sc, 3 sc in one st, 7 sc] x 5 (90)
Round 11: [slst, 8 sc, 3 sc in one st, 8 sc] x 5 (100, Photo 5)
Pull the marker out, cut the yarn, leaving a 5″(15cm) tail and finish the round in an invisible needle join: pull the end of yarn through the last stitch and thread it into a needle, skip one stitch and insert the needle into both loops of the next stitch as shown on Photo 6. Go back into the back loop only of the same stitch where the yarn comes from (Photo 7). Tighten it just enough so that the join looks like a regular stitch (Photo 8). Weave in the end.
Crochet the second detail in the same way but do not cut the yarn. Start to join 2 details with a slip stitch seaming: hold the two crochet pieces so that the wrong sides are facing each other, * insert your hook, front to back, through the next stitch on the detail closest to you. Continue inserting the hook all the way through the matching stitch on the second detail (Photo 9). Yarn over and pull the yarn through theese stitches (Photo 10) and through the loop on your hook in one go.
That’s your first slip stitch (Photo 11). Repeat from * to end of seam, but do not forget to put stuffing before finishing (Photo 13 ).
Weave in the end. Ready (Photo 14)
Star shaping
Using the same strand of yarn, wrap yarn over and around star to starting point to divide star 5 times to form 5 equal sections. Pull tight, knot securely at center, and finish off.
