Making Your Crochet Star 

Materials and tools:

• 4-ply yarn: I use YarnArt Jeans (8 grams).
• Hook size 2 mm.
• Needle for sewing on details, scissors.
• Polyester stuffing.

Abbreviations:

• MR - magic ring
• sc-single crochet
• slst - slip stitch
• inc - increase crochet 2 sc in one stitch
• dec - decrease, crochet 2 sc together
• ch-chain stitch

Remember: 

The star is crochet in back-and-forth rows, so at the beginning of each row, you need to make an ch and turn unless otherwise indicated.

Step by step Pattern

• 1: Make 2 ch; in the second ch, crochet 2 sc.
• 2: ch, turn, 2 inc = 4.
• 3:4 sc.
• 4: inc, 2sc, inc = 6.
• 5: 6 sc.
• 6: inc, 4 sc, inc = 8.
• Cut the yarn and fasten it off.
• 7: make 8 ch, crochet 8 sc on the piece, and make 9 ch.
• 8: turn, from the second ch, crochet 24 sc.
• 9: dec, 20 sc, dec = 22.
• 10: dec, 18 sc, dec = 20.
• 11: dec, 16 sc, dec = 18.
• 12: dec, 14 sc, dec = 16.
• 13: dec, 12 sc, dec = 14.
• 14: dec, 10 sc, dec = 12.
• 15: inc, 10 sc, inc = 14.
• 16: inc, 12 sc, inc = 16.
• 17:16 sc.
• 18: inc, 14 sc, inc = 18.

Crochet the ray of the star:

• 19: ch, turn, 7 sc, Dec = 8.
• 20: ch, turn, skip 1 sc, 6 sc, inc = 8.
• 21: ch, turn, 4 sc, dec, slst = 6 (1 sc do not crochet)
• 22: ch, turn, skip 1 slst, 4 sc, inc. Cut the yarn and fasten it off.

Crochet the last ray of the star:

• 19: join the yarn in the middle of the 18th row, as shown in the photo below.
• From the same sc where the yarn was attached, crochet: dec, 7 sc = 8.
• 20: ch, turn, inc 5 sc, dec = 8.
• 21: ch, turn, skip 1 sc, slst, dec, 4 sc = 6.
• 22: ch, turn, inc 4 sc, slst.
• Cut the yarn and fasten it off.
• Crochet the second piece in exactly the same way.

Assembly
Place both pieces together. Begin joining the two pieces with SC, and as you crochet, hide the ends of the yarn into the toy.
Crochet 3 sc at the tops of the rays.
Loop: reaching the middle of the upper ray make the chain of ch (I make 30 ch) and make slst into the first loop of the chain.
Continue crocheting until half of the last ray. Fill the toy through the hole.
Close the hole with SC, make slst, fasten off and cut the yarn, and hide the yarn's end inside the toy.
