About Christmas Star Tutorial
Quick Summary & Skill Level: Beginner. Crochet two flat circles in the main plush yarn color using increasing single crochet stitches. Join them by crocheting through both, then crochet four yellow star points in the round from the edges, shaping with single crochets and decreases, and stuffing before closing.
The fifth point forms the red Santa hat, worked with a color change, shaped with decreases, and topped with a stuffed white pom-pom. Finish by adding a white fluffy slip-stitch border, attaching safety eyes, and embroidering facial details.
