| Stuffed-Star Photo Ornament
by Priscilla Hewitt ©2000
Variation...to make stuffed star ornament without photo, just make 2 back pieces; join and stuff.
Materials Small amount of worsted weight yarn (acrylic or cotton) Crochet hook size D 2” lucite ring Wallet-size photo Glue Fiber fill
Gauge: Rounds 1-2 of the back piece = about 2” Finished size: About 4 1/2” from point to point
Preparation Center 2” ring over the photo so that it looks the way you want it when framed. Trace around the outside of the 2” ring onto the centered photo, then cut the photo along the traced circle. Laminate photo, it desired. |

Round 2: Work the same as round 3 of piece A. (40 sts)
Round 3: Work the same as round 4 of piece A. (55 sts) Fasten off. Weave in ends.
Finishing
Glue the photo to the back of the crochet-covered ring of the front piece,
making sure the top of the photo aligns with one of the points of the star, so
the photo will be straight when hung. Allow glue to dry. With wrong sides
together, match the points of the stars of the front and back pieces. Join
yarn with a sl st through any matching stitch of both pieces; (ch 1, sl st in
the next st) three-quarters of the way around, working (ch 1, sl st) twice in
the center trc of the each point of the star. Stuff with fiberfill, pushing the
fiberfill into the corners of the star. Continue crocheting closed. Fasten off.
Join yarn with a sl st in the ch-1 sp at the top point of the star; ch 10, sl st
in the same ch-1 sp for hanging loop. Fasten off. Weave in ends.
