Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn in cream
• Hook: Size N/P (10 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 star stitch clusters = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain in multiples of 6, plus 1 additional chain. For example, if you want a blanket width of 36 inches, you might chain 109 (18 sets of 6 + 1).
2. Row 1:
   1. Insert your hook into the 2nd chain from the hook.
   2. Yarn over and pull up a loop. Repeat this in each of the next 5 chains. You should have 7 loops on your hook.
   3. Yarn over again and pull through all 7 loops on your hook.
   4. Chain 1 to close the star stitch.
   5. Now, *insert your hook into the chain-1 space just made, pull up a loop, then pull up a loop in each of the next 5 chains; repeat from * across the row.
   6. Once you reach the end of the row, turn your work.
3. Row 2:
   1. Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
   2. In the eye of each star stitch across the row, work 3 double crochets.
   3. In the last stitch of the row, work 1 double crochet.
   4. Turn your work.
4. Row 3:
   1. Chain 3.
   2. Insert your hook into the 2nd chain from the hook, pull up a loop, then pull up a loop in each of the next 5 stitches. You should have 7 loops on your hook.
   3. Yarn over and pull through all loops on your hook, then chain 1 to close the star stitch.
   4. Repeat from the * in Row 1 across the row.
   5. Turn your work.
5. Repeat: Continue repeating Rows 2 and 3 until your blanket reaches the desired length. This will create a beautiful textured pattern.
6. Finishing Touch: To finish your blanket, add a border of your choice. A simple single crochet border or a shell stitch border can add a lovely touch to your finished project.
