Cecily the Starfish

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. Watch my [video tutorial on finishing this project][1]. [Kits are available][2] from the designer.
