Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight yarn in the following colors:
  • Moss Green
  • Cream
  • Midnight Blue
• Hook: 6.5 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 10 sts and 12 rows = 4 inches in single crochet

Step-by-Step Instructions

Creating the Base of the Blanket

1. Round 1: With moss green yarn, create a magic ring. Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the ring. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc. (You should have 6 stitches)
2. Round 2: Chain 1 (ch 1), then work 2 sc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st to the first sc. (You should have 12 stitches)
3. Round 3: Ch 1, *sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch*; repeat from * to * around. Join with a sl st to the first sc. (You should have 18 stitches)
4. Round 4: Ch 1, *sc in the next 2 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch*; repeat from * to * around. Join with a sl st to the first sc. (You should have 24 stitches)
5. Continue Increasing: Keep increasing in this manner (adding one more single crochet between increases each round) until the circle measures approximately 36 inches in diameter. This will form the main body of your blanket.

Creating the Star Motifs

1. Start the Star: With cream yarn, create a magic ring and work 5 sc into the ring. Join with a sl st to the first sc. (You should have 5 stitches)
2. Round 2: Ch 1, then work 2 sc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st to the first sc. (You should have 10 stitches)
3. Round 3: *Ch 5, sl st in the second ch from the hook, sc in the next ch, hdc (half double crochet) in the next ch, dc (double crochet) in the next ch, skip the next stitch, sl st in the next stitch*; repeat from * to * around to form the star points. This will create the star shape.

Attaching the Star Motifs

1. Using midnight blue yarn, randomly attach the star motifs across the blanket. You can place them wherever you like to create a beautiful starry effect.

Adding the Border

1. With midnight blue yarn, work a round of single crochet (sc) evenly around the edge of the blanket. This will help to finish off the edges neatly.
2. For a decorative touch, finish with a round of reverse single crochet (reverse sc) around the entire border. This will add a lovely texture and contrast to your blanket.
