3. Round 2:
   • Chain 3, then work 1 double crochet in the same stitch.
   • Work 2 double crochets in each stitch around.
   • Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain 3. (Total: 32 double crochets)

6. Continue Increasing:
   • Continue increasing in this manner until your star reaches the desired size.
   • Alternate colors between navy, silver, and white every two rounds to create a beautiful celestial effect.
7. Create Additional Motifs:
   • Once the first star motif is complete, repeat the above steps to create additional star motifs.
   • Use the join-as-you-go method to connect the motifs together, forming a blanket.
8. Finish with a Border:
   • Choose a border of your liking, such as a simple single crochet (sc) or a shell stitch border.
   • For a shell stitch border, work 5 double crochets in each corner and 1 single crochet in between each star motif along the edges.
