- FO: sl st into the next stitch. No need to leave a long tail for sewing.
(Repeat 5 times, but on the fifth one, do not fasten off.)
Creating the Star Shape
With the fifth point still on the hook, take another completed point and join it by inserting the hook into one of its stitches.
- Round 6: 1 sc, mark it as the beginning of the row, 8 sc around the point. (9 sts per point)
- Repeat for each of the remaining points. Join the last point to the first point to form a star shape.
- Round 7: 7 sc, dec repeat 5 times. (40 sts)

Sl st into the next stitch and FO, leaving a tail to sew the opening closed.
Finishing the Front
- Using the remaining tail, weave through the front loops of the 5 remaining stitches.
- Pull the opening closed, tie a knot, and weave the end inside the star.
- Insert 12 mm safety eyes between rows 11 and 12, positioning them on opposite sides of the center.
Creating the Back of the Star
- With one point, insert your crochet hook into one of the unworked stitches and attach your yarn to repeat the same process as the front:
Round 6: 9 sc in each point and connect them.
- Decrease down to 5 stitches similarly as done in rows 7 to 14 of the front.
- Around row 11 (when you have approximately 20 stitches), stuff your star with polyfill, ensuring the points are filled as well.
Final Touches
- Close any openings where the points are connected by sewing them shut with yellow yarn.
- Ensure the star is well-stuffed, add any finishing touches, and trim any excess yarn.
