ALMOHADON FORMA DE E STRELLA

SUPPLIES
 4 balls of We Are Knitters Fabric Yarn (2 balls of each color)
 Size N* (9mm) crochet hook
 scissors
 embroidery needle
 2 pieces of felt or quilt batting
 polyfill stuffing*

ABBREVIATIONS
 sl st – slip stitch
 ch – chain stitch
 dc – double crochet

PATTERN NOTES
 Because of the variability of thickness in fabric yarn, you may
work more or less rounds so that both sides of the star matches
in size. If you’re using the same yarn for both sides, you won’t
have this problem.
 The ch 3 at the beginning of each round or row counts as a dc
stitch.
 Work the last stitch of each round into the same stitch as the ch
3. It’s the equivalent of “work 2 st into the next st”.
 Pulling the magic circle closed might be slightly difficult, but it will
close if you pull hard enough.
 As you work the center rounds, the piece may curl like you’re
making a basket. The fabric yarn is stretchy, so you can easily
stretch it flat after each round.
 Each star point is worked the same way, starting with a ch 3 as
the first stitch, then worked in decreasing rows.
 Use batting or felt in between the pillows to prevent polyfill
stuffing from leaking out.
 When you hold the two stars together, the edge shows 4 loops.
The joining edge is worked through the 2 inner loops.
