Star Mobile

Even though this baby isn't our Madeline Star, I still wanted to incorporate some stars into the room decor. After all, stars are gender neutral and they are classic. I had the idea of making a mobile but I needed a star pattern. I looked online to find a good pattern for crochet stars, but didn't like most I came across. I decided to make my own... it is roughly based off of this, but it's simpler.

To make the stars I used a size H hook and Vanna's choice - mustard yarn. I made two of the following, sewed them together and stuffed them.

Round 1: Ch 2. Sc 5 in second chain from hook. Join round and chain one
Round 2: Sc 2 in each st around. Join. (10 sts)
Round 3: *skip one st. Sc 5 in next st.* repeat 4x. Join.
Round 4: *skip one st. Sc in next st. Sc 2, dc, sc 2 in next st. Sc in next st. Sl st in next st* repeat 4x.
Round 5: *skip one st. Sc 2. Sc 5 in next st. Sc 2. skip one st. Sl st in next st* repeat 4x.
Round 6: *skip one st. Sc 3. Sc 2, dc, sc 2 in next st. Sc 3. Sl st in next st* repeat 4x.
Round 7: *skip one st. Sc 4. Sc 5 in next st. Sc 4. skip one st. Sl st in next st* repeat 4x.

The rest of the mobile I made by crocheting up some simply triangles and little buttons for the stars. I hot glued the triangle pieces to cardboard and hung it from the ceiling with fishing line & push pins. Incredibly simple! Hopefully John enjoys it as much as I do!
