Tutorial to Crochet the Plush Smiling Holiday Star

This video shows how to make a star keychain using plush yarn. You start by making a magic ring and crocheting ten single crochets. Next, you expand the circle using increase rounds. Then, you shape five star points by working single crochets, half double crochets, and double crochets into one stitch. Make two star pieces.

After that, add safety eyes and embroider a face on the front piece. Finally, sew both star pieces together using a tapestry needle, insert fiberfill stuffing before closing, and attach a keychain ring.
