Star:
With Grey, make 2 pcs.
Rnd 1: Work 10 sc in mr
Rnd 2: inc 10 times (20)
Rnd 3: (3 sc, inc) Repeat 5 times (25)
Rnd 4: (4 sc, inc) Repeat 5 times (30)
Rnd 5: (5 sc, inc) Repeat 5 times (35)
Rnd 6: (6 sc, inc) Repeat 5 times (40)
Rnd 7: (7 sc, inc) Repeat 5 times (45)
Rnd 8: (8 sc, inc) Repeat 5 times (50)
Rnd 9: (9 sc, inc) Repeat 5 times (55)
Rnd 10: (10 sc, inc) Repeat 5 times (60)
Rnd 11: (11 sc, inc) Repeat 5 times (65)
Rnd 12: (12 sc, inc) Repeat 5 times (70)
Don’t bind off yet, but continue with the first tip on the star, as described below.
First tip on star:
Rnd 1: 13 sc, ch 1, turn
Rnd 2: skip first sc and make 12 sc, ch 1, turn
Rnd 3: skip first sc and make 11 sc, ch 1, turn
Rnd 4: skip first sc and make 10 sc, ch 1, turn
Rnd 5: skip first sc and make 9 sc, ch 1, turn
Rnd 6: skip first sc and make 8 sc, ch 1, turn
Rnd 7: skip first sc and make 7 sc, ch 1, turn
Rnd 8: skip first sc and make 6 sc, ch 1, turn
Rnd 9: skip first sc and make 5 sc, ch 1, turn
Rnd 10: skip first sc and make 4 sc, ch 1, turn
Rnd 11: skip first sc and make 3 sc, ch 1, turn
Rnd 12: skip first sc and make 2 sc, ch 1, turn
Rnd 13: skip first sc and make 1 sc, 1 sl st.
Bind off.
The 4 other tips are made in the same way.
The yarn for tip no. 2, 3 and 4 must be attached on the RS, where the increase has been
made, but you work the first sc in the next stitch. The attachment of the yarn DOESN’T count
as a sc. You make a total of 5 tips on the star.
When all tips are finished, you work 2 rounds of sc from the RS around the whole star. On
each tip you work 2 sc in the same stitch.
When both stars are finished, you place the stars on top of each other, RS against RS and
sew the edges together all the way around but keep approx. 15 cm open to turn the outside
in and stuff the star.

Assembly:
Embroider the snout between round 8 and 11 as shown on the photo.
The eyes are embroidered on round 8-9 in an oblique line. See the photo.
The ears are sewn on round 5, on each side of the head.
The arms are sewn on the neck.
The legs are sewn on the body in an oblique line between round 26 and 28. See the photo.
The tail is sewn on the middle of the back side.
Stuff the star firmly and sew the remaining opening together.
Make a strap in Grey as follows: ch 100 and bind off.
You may choose to make a longer or shorter strap, depending on where the mobile will hang.
Sew the straps on the swing together in the top and pull the remaining yarn through the hole
in the middle of the star and attach the yarn to the grey strap. Hide it in the middle of the star.
In this way, the swing and strap are attached, and you prevent the star from losing shape
because of the weight.
Enjoy!
