With B, use Whipstitch to sew the Stars together through the back loops, stuffing lightly as you sew. Sew the keychain to any star point. Holding both ties of the tassel together, feed through 3 wooden beads. Sew the ties to the Star in the inner space between star points, opposite from the keychain.
Practical Tips
- To prevent stuffing from showing through the crochet, try to keep the stitches tight and check for gaps as you go.
- Consider using contrasting colors for the tassel to make it stand out against the stars.
- Use a larger size crochet hook if you find the stitches are too tight for inserting the polyfill.
Troubleshooting
- If your star ends up looking misshaped, check your stitch count for each round. Unravel and redo the rounds as needed.
- If your tension seems uneven, practice maintaining consistent pressure as you crochet. It’s helpful to keep your yarn taut.
Care
