Round 1:
Start with a Magic Ring.
Work 6 sc into the ring.
Tighten the ring.
Round 2:
Work 1 sc in each stitch around (6 sc total).
Beginner Tip: If the hat starts to curl the wrong way (wrong side out), push the center through so the “V” stitches are on the outside.
Round 3:
Work . Repeat this 3 times around.
You will have 9 stitches total.
On the very last stitch, stop before the final pull-through and change color to the white fuzzy yarn.
Round 4:
Using the white fuzzy yarn, work 1 sc in each stitch around (9 sc total).
Slip stitch to join and fasten off.
Part 3: Assembly & Details
1. Sewing the Star:
Place the two star pieces together, wrong sides touching.
Thread the long tail from the first star onto your yarn needle.
Whipstitch the pieces together. Crucial Tip: To keep the edges neat, only insert your needle through the back loops (the loops furthest from you) of both pieces.
Before you close the last point, stuff the star firmly with fiberfill.
Finish sewing and weave in the ends.
2. The Face:
Using black thread or thin black yarn, embroider two small “V” shapes or dots for eyes on the front of the star.
Add a small “v” for the mouth in the center.
3. Attaching the Hat:
Use a dab of hot glue (or sew it) to attach the green/red hat to one of the top points of the star.
Glue the 1cm white pom-pom to the tip of the hat.
4. Final Touches:
Use a cotton swab or your finger to apply a little bit of pink blush just below the eyes to give the star rosy cheeks.
Congratulations! You have completed your Christmas Star. You can add a loop of thread to the top to turn it into an ornament or a keychain!
