The circles should be evenly expanded (it is not necessary to place several large consecutive rows, as well as small ones).

From the back to the base, sew the same circle (now it can not be knit, but cut out of a dense fabric, for example) and stuff the toy with a sintepon. Luchiki are also subject to further processing. Here for each sew a “narrow pocket”, inside which is placed a piece of copper wire, then gently sew up. Now the rays can not only stand well, but also bend in different directions.
The toy though and self-made, but it looks very nice. She attracts attention with her brilliance and is sure to be interested in the child for a long time.
