Crochet Star Keychain Amigurumi

Start with a magic ring:

This is a foundational technique for crocheting in the round.
Work five single crochets (sc) into the magic ring.
Pull the ring tight to close up the center, ensuring the work doesn't unravel.
Work in the round without closing each round with a slip stitch. Simply continue crocheting into the first stitch of the previous round to start the next round.

First round of increases:

For the next stitches, you're going to do one single crochet in the first stitch, then an increase (two single crochets in the same stitch) in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern (one sc, then an increase) around. To help track the start of the round, you can mark the first stitch of the round with a stitch marker or a piece of yarn.
Continue with two single crochets and then an increase in the next stitch for the entire round. By the end of this round, you should have 20 stitches.

For the points of the star:

you'll make a combination of stitches in the same stitch: half double crochet, double crochet, and then another half double crochet and single crochet into the same stitch where you increased. This creates one "bump" or point of the star.

Then, create the spaces between the star's points:

by slip stitching into the next three stitches.

Repeat the pattern:

for the points (single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, half double crochet, and single crochet in the same stitch, followed by three slip stitches) around until you have five bumps.

If you end up with extra stitches at the end:

of your round before you finish the last point, slip stitch into these remaining stitches.

Finish off the star by cutting the yarn:

leaving a long tail for sewing if making a stuffed star, or a shorter tail if not. Chain one and pull the yarn through the loop to secure it.

To make a stuffed star:

crochet another star following the same pattern but possibly with a shorter tail (as it won't need to be sewn). Place the stars back to back, and use a needle and the long tail of yarn to sew the edges together, only going through the back loops of the stitches on each star to give a more defined edge. Stuff the star with scrap yarn or another filler before completely sewing it closed.
