Knit a Starfish using only three stitches: knit, a kfb increase, and a k2tog decrease. These combine to make garter stitch diamonds that are sewn together. If you use washable acrylic yarns this could be used as a bath toy, or knit one in glittery yarns to use as a celestial decoration.

Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the star is knitted in acrylic DK yarn on single pointed needles (not in the round).

Tapestry needle, toy filling, and buttons for eyes.

SIZES
One size only - 18cm wide (at the widest point).
