Crochet Adorable Star Cushion Tutorial

This video offers a beginner-friendly guide to creating a star-shaped crochet cushion using chenille yarn and a 6.5 mm hook. The instructor demonstrates how to make two identical round panels with structured increases across ten rounds.

• • The tutorial assumes you have already made the basic star cushion, which serves as the base.

• Creating the Legs:

  • The process begins by making a slip knot to start.
  • The legs are crocheted using foundation chains, single crochets, increases, and decreases.
  • Back loop stitches are introduced in certain rounds for texture.
  • The color switches to white in later rounds to add contrast to the legs.
  • Once complete, the legs are stuffed, sewn onto the star, and adjusted for symmetry.

• Adding Blush Cheeks:

  • Two strands of five-ply milk cotton yarn are used to create the blush cheeks with a thicker texture.
  • The cheeks are crocheted starting with a magic ring, followed by increases to form a circular shape.
  • The finished blush pieces are attached to the star cushion.

• Making the Nose:

  • A slip knot and foundation chain are used to start the nose.
  • Techniques include working on both sides of the foundation chain to achieve a rounded shape.
  • The finished nose is attached to complete the face on the star.

• Assembly:

  • All features (legs, cheeks, and nose) are sewn onto the star cushion securely.
  • Gaps are filled if necessary by adding extra stitches, and ends are woven neatly.

• Conclusion:

  • The tutorial concludes with a demonstration of attaching facial features, leaving users with a completed star cushion upgrade.
  • The creator invites viewers to enjoy crocheting and look forward to the next video.
