** Stuff the watermelon firmly to fill out the shape.
Cut yarn, leaving a tail. Squeeze the round together, aligning the 4 sc to the 4sc. Use the mattress stitch to close. Fasten off and weave in ends.

 

Insert the ball chain clasp through any available stitch on the top of the watermelon. I used a needle to help things along – it takes some effort, but you can always find a small gap to get the chain through. Once the chain is attached, just close the ball chain around a lobster clasp and you’re all set!

On my first keychain, I created a loop at the top of the watermelon to insert the ball chain, but it looked a bit weird, so I adjusted to insert the ball chain straight through the top of the watermelon instead.

Back
To join the yarn, locate the junction of the points where there is no yarn tail and attach the yarn to the first stitch of the point to the left.

Follow the instructions as for the Front.
After round 8, stop and sew up the holes created by where the points are connected.
If using safety eyes, attach them now the front of the star at round 7. Felt eyes will be attached after the star is finished.
Stuff the star, beginning with the points. For best results, start with a little bit of stuffing in each point and slowly fill up each point. Once all of the points are stuffed, begin stuff the body.
Continue working, stopping and adding a little more stuffing every few rounds until the end.
Fasten off.
Finishing
If using felt eyes, skip ahead to the tutorial at the end.
