This is the 5th successive part of the “crocheted Twinkle plushie variations” pattern series. Today, just like the last tutorial, you will learn how to crochet a CUTE accessory for the “no-sew Twinkle Twinkle buddy” that you learned how to crochet in the first part. Follow this step-by-step tutorial to crochet a slouchy night hat with a crochet star and a small crochet pillow, along with the same full no-sew Little Star twinkle plushie pattern. You can crochet this sleepy Twinkle doll for New Year’s night, as a winter gift (replacement for crochet Labubu), and even as an ornament.

Both the crochet hat and the pillow of this crochet Twinkle plush are removable. So, you can also crochet these accessories for the “iconic no-sew character buddies” as they are about the same size as this Twinkle plush.

You only have to follow the no-sew Twinkle plush pattern up to the crochet head, body, and the hoodie pattern. Then, we will learn how to crochet this blue hat with the white brim using the thin plush yarn. If you want your crochet buddy Twinkle plushie to be a bigger one, you can crochet it using the super bulky chenille yarn. Anyway, customization is up to you (choose from 2 variations); below I have provided the full crochet Twinkle plush and its accessories pattern. Be sure to crochet one!
