Cecily the Starfish pattern PDF
Do you need an adorable buddy? Cecily is a sweetheart who loves to party. This project is a great way to use yarn scraps and a good introduction to new techniques like bobbles or reading stitch diagrams. While not anatomically correct, mismatched eyes and embroidered mouth add a charming appeal.
This is an advanced beginner project which is a good introduction to reading crochet patterns and stitch diagrams. The instructions are both written out and charted. Watch my video on finishing this project including adding the face and crocheting the pieces together.
