- Row 2: ch 1, turn, sc2tog, sc in each stitch across to the last 2 stitches, sc2tog (10 sc)
- Row 3: ch 1, turn, sc in each stitch across (10 sc)
Repeat rows 2 & 3 to Row 9 – each even row will decrease by 2 stitches (4 sc).

- Row 11: ch 1, turn, sc in each stitch (2 sc)
- Row 12: ch 1, turn, sc2tog (1 sc)
Fasten off.
Rejoin yarn to circle in the stitch to the left of the point just made.
Repeat star point pattern 4 more times for a total of 5 points.
Do not fasten off after the last point.
Sc around the entire star.
- Ch 1, *(sc, ch 1, sc) in tip of point, sc down the side of the point (placing 1 sc in the side of each row), sl st in dip between points, sc up the side of the next point (placing 1 sc in the side of each row)* repeat from * to * around, join to first sc with sl st. Fasten off.
Sewing the Star Plushie
Put both stars together, right side facing out. Use stitch markers to keep them in place. Sew together using sc around. Join yarn to a ch-1 space on the tip of one point.
*(sc, ch 1, sc) in ch-1 space, sc in each stitch down the side of the point, sl st in dip between points, sc in each stitch up the side of the next point* repeat from * to * around, join to first sc with sl st.
Begin stuffing about halfway around. Continue stuffing with fiber fill as it closes up.
Fasten off. Weave in the ends.
