Crochet PatternStar Base (Circles)
- Create a slip knot with yellow yarn. Chain two and work six single crochets in the second chain from the hook. Pull the yarn to close the center gap.
- Work in a spiral. Place two single crochets in each of the six stitches from the previous round (12 stitches).
- Work one single crochet, followed by an increase. Repeat for a total of 18 stitches.
- Work one single crochet, an increase, and another single crochet. Repeat for 24 stitches.
- Work three single crochets in a row, followed by an increase. Repeat for 30 stitches.
- Finish the circle with a slip stitch.
- Repeat to make a second circle. Do not cut yarn.
Connecting and Forming the Star Points
- Turn the first circle inside out. Place it against the second circle with the right sides facing out.
- Connect the two circles with a single crochet.
- Place a stitch marker in the sixth stitch from the starting point on both the front and back. There should be five stitches between the markers.
- Work five single crochets across the front.
- Turn your work around and work five more single crochets across the back. This creates a total of 10 stitches for the point.
- Decrease Round: Work a decrease over two stitches, followed by three single crochets. Repeat for eight stitches.
- Single Crochet Round: Work one single crochet in each of the eight stitches.
- Second Decrease Round: Work a decrease, followed by two single crochets. Repeat for six stitches.
- Closing Round: Work three decreases in a row to close the gap. Finish with a slip stitch, cut the yarn, and pull to secure.
- Remove stitch markers. Reattach yarn in the next stitch and repeat to form the remaining four points. Stuff with fiberfill after the fourth point.
