DO NOT cut the yarn! You will continue with it by crocheting the first star point.
👉🏼 In the R 8 you are going to join the main body with the half body and crochet 5 star points.
👉🏼 Before you start crocheting any of the points of the star, I recommend that you mark both the half points and the main points as follows:
- Place a marker in every 8th stitch.
The First Star Point
The first star point starts from the 1th st of the R 7 in the main body. Place the two parts of the body (the half one and the main one) with wrong sides together. The main body is facing you. You are going to work on a star point in the spiral.
R 8: Continue with C1. Join the first st from the main body and the first st from the half body with a sl st.
Make the 1th sc only through the first stitch (it is same stitch you used to join two parts together).
Now work on the main body only. Make 6 sc.
Next stitch make through the st of the main body and the half body (crochet them togehter).
Turn your work. [8]
R 9: Make a sc in the same st you worked the last st from the previous round, but only through the half body.
Now work on the half body only. Make 6 sc. The next sc make in the same st you maked in the R 8 as the 1th one, but again only through the st of the half body. Join the the 1th st of the R 8 with a sl st. Turn. [8]
R 10: 1 dec, 4 scs, 1 dec. Turn [6]
R 10: 1 dec, 4 scs, 1 dec. Turn [6]
R 11: 1 dec, 2 scs, 1 dec. Turn [4]
R 12: 1 dec, 2 scs, 1 dec. Turn [4]
R 13: 2 dec. Turn [2]
R 14: 2 dec. Turn [2]
R 15: 1 dec. Turn [1]
R 15: 1 dec by sl st [1]
End by leaving a longer yarn tail to sew it invisibly into the star point.
Second to Fifth Star Point Instruction
The second star point starts from the 9th st of the R 7 in the main body. The main body is facing you. You are going to work on a star point in the spiral.
R 8: Continue with C1. Join the 9th st from the main body and the 9th st from the half body with a sl st.
Make the 1th sc only through the first stitch (it is same stitch you used to join two parts together).
Now work on the main body only. Make 6 sc. Next stitch make through the st of the main body and the half body (crochet them togehter). Turn your work. [8]
R 9: Make a sc in the same st you worked the last st from the previous round (st number 8th), but only through the st of the half body. Now work on the half body part only. Make 6 sc. The next sc crochet in the same st you maked in the R 8 as the 1th one, but again only through the st of the half body. Join the the 1th st of the R 8 with a sl st. Turn. [8]

R 14: 1 dec, 1 dec. Turn [2]
R 15: 1 dec. Turn [1]
R 15: 1 dec by sl st [1]
Repeat 3 times – till you have ready 4 star spikes. Now see the part for Filling The Star Body.
After stuffing the body and all 4 spikes, continue crochet with the last 5th star spike. Continue with filling as needed, till you close the spike.
Filling the Star Body
After you have crocheted the four points of the star, sew invisibly all left tails to the star body. Fill the body of the star with the filling. Fill only lightly, there is no need to press the filling firmly.
Continue crocheting the fifth point of the star and gradually fill in the filling.
