ARMS (make 5)

• Worked in the round.
• At the end of the 5th star, don’t break the yarn.
Rnd 1: MR, sc 6. [6sts]
Rnd 2: *Inc, sc* x 3. [9 sts]
Rnd 3: *Sc, inc, sc* x 3. [12 sts]
Rnd 4: *Sc 3, inc* x 3. [15 sts]
Rnd 5: *Sc 2, inc, sc 2* x 3. [18 sts]
Rnd 6: *Inc, sc 5* x 3. [21 sts]
Rnd 7: *Sc 3, inc, sc 3* x 3. [24 sts]
Rnd 8: *Sc 7, inc* x 3. [27 sts]
Rnd 9: *Sc 4, inc, sc 4* x 3. [30 sts]
For the first four arms, break the yarn, make a sl st into the next st, then
invisible join and weave in the tail. Don’t break the yarn after the fifth
arm, as you will begin crocheting them together in the next step.

ASSEMBLY

• Worked in the round.
• You will begin joining the arms of the star. Flatten each arm and work only into one side of the
crochets (15 on each arm).
• Join the first arm with an sc but join all subsequent arms by making an invdec in the final sc of
the arm you just worked across and the first sc of the arm you are about to join.
• If you want to add a face, use snap eyes and scrap yarn to give your star an expression.

Flip the star over, join with a slip stitch to the first stitch of one arm and repeat Rnds 1-9, stuffing
as you go.
