If you want smoother seams you can sc around the entire star when you are done.
When Star is complete make another one and whip stitch the two pieces together. Stop when you have a hole that is a couple inches. Stuff and then sew up the hole.

Thanks Everyone! LOL my daughter is such a camera ham.
Hey April, I just finished my very own star stuffie, thanks so much for the pattern, my daughter just loves it. I posted a link on my blog to your blog, hope that's okay, thanks again!
Feather.Wing: Awesome! It turned out great :) I love the cute face ;)
Thanks for sharing this pattern! I was looking for a star pattern to make for the top of our Christmas Tree and this is perfect!
Awesome! I was thinking about doing the same thing :)
Hi April, I left you a message on Raverly as well. I was in need of a star pattern for a project I will be posting at www.tangledhappy.blogspot.com in Jan. Yours was perfect except it was twice the size I needed. Would you mind if I post the changes I made to the pattern with a link back here for the original? You can email me if you would like at tangledhappy@gmail.com. Thanks!
Love the star! And your daughter looks just like what I imagine my one year old granddaughter is going to look like in a few years! Same color hair! Same impish personality! :)
Going to make this for my Little Nephew's Christening on Sunday. So Cute!! Thank you for posting. :)
Thanks!
Have Fun! :)
I just made one of these! It's sooo cute! Thanks so much for the free pattern!
I'm excited for this pattern! My sis-in-law has asked me to make a Wish Star from Carebears for her niece, and this will be just perfect! Thank you :)
Thank you for your sharing the pattern.
It's so lovely star.
i am making it to my senior :D
The star is great! I do have a question though. At the end of each round, do we have to slip stitch before starting the new round? Thanks again, from Greece!
Ioanna Valinou: No, do not ss before beginning a new round. You are working in a continuous round, if you do a ss at the beginning it would create a seam.
This is so cute! i must try this when i finish my next project. Might as well make 6 colors for each of the colors of the rainbow lol
Can you tell me how to make this into a quilt?
Hiya, How would I make this smaller? Plz
Hi Jennylong (and Sara), simply using a thiner yarn can be a solution!
I don't know the commercial yarns available in your country, or their sizes, or even how to tell a yarn's size (or needles for that matter, as the ones I inherited from my grandma seems to follow a senseless numbering).
So I picked the pretty light blue yarn I had here (I think this one is usually used for making light clothes), and started doing this star. It came out at 8cm tall, which is less than half the size April said it would be.
Loved it! :D
I think it could be used to hang on a christmas tree (if you don't mind having smaller stars besides the one on top), and I have seen bigger keyring-things than this, so it probably could do too!
Or simply hanging anywhere in the house ^^
Thank's, April!

Hi April I made a link to Your wonderful pattern in my blog here: http://krawka.blogspot.com/2015/12/mario-star-for-top-of-christmas-tree.html.
I loved Your pattern and it inspired my Mario Star Christmas project :) Thank You!
Thanks for the pattern. I want to make a bigger version of this....maybe like a star cushion.can you pls tell how to go about it...how to increase the size.
The easiest way would be to use much bigger hook ( like 6 mm) and appropriate yarn for this hook, this way the pattern could stay the same. Let me know if you will try it and how it's going :)
