Pattern Instructions:

Start with a Magic Circle (MC).
Round 1 (R1): Make 5 single crochet (sc) stitches into the MC. You will have a total of 5 stitches in this round.

Round 2 (R2): Make 2 single crochet stitches in each stitch from the previous round, ending up with 10 stitches.
Round 3 (R3): 1 single crochet in the next stitch, 2 single crochets in the following stitch, repeat from * to * around, which gets you to 15 stitches.

Round 4 (R4): 1 single crochet in the next 2 stitches, 2 single crochets in the following stitch, repeat this sequence around, bringing your stitch count to 20.
Round 5 (R5): In the same stitch as the last stitch from the previous round, make one half double crochet (hdc), one double crochet (dc), one half double crochet (hdc), and then one single crochet (sc). Next, slip stitch in the next three stitches and then make sc, hdc, dc, hdc, and sc in the next. Repeat from * to * three more times. Leave a long tail for sewing and cut the yarn.

After completing the first star, repeat the process to make another star. Sew both stars together with the yarn needle, adding stuffing before completely sealing the edges.

To transform these stars into hanging ornaments or favours, simply thread a piece of baker's twine through one of the tips.
