Measurements
My star blanket measured 85cm by 85cm from point to point. But don’t let that limit you! You can easily adjust the size by continuing the repeating pattern until your blanket reaches the desired dimensions.
Gauge
While gauge isn’t crucial for this project, mine was 6x6cm = 8 stitches over 5 rows. Adjust your tension or hook size to achieve the perfect balance of softness and structure.

Pattern
Round 1:
CH 4 and join with a SL ST to form a circle.
CH 6 (counts as first DC and CH 3), DC and CH 3 into the circle 4 times (creating 5 CH 3 spaces). SL ST to the 3rd CH of your CH 6.
Round 2:
SL ST into the next CH 3 space.
In this CH space: CH 3, 2 DC’s, CH 2, 3 DC’s.
Into each CH space: (3 DC’s, CH 2, 3 DC’s), SL ST to the top of the CH 3 and FO.
Round 3:
Attach a new color to the next DC, CH 3, and DC into the next DC.
In the next CH 2 space: (3 DC’s, CH 2, 3 DC’s), DC in the next 2 DC’s, SK the next 2 DC’s, and DC in the next 2 DC’s. Repeat to 3 times.
In the last CH 2 space: 3 DC’s, CH 2, 3 DC’s, DC in the next 2 DC’s, SK the next 2 DC’s, and SL ST to the top of the CH 3.
Continue the pattern, ensuring you SK the 2 DC’s between each side. Each side will increase by 2 DC’s (e.g., round 3: 5 DC’s, round 4: 7 DC’s, etc.).
For the final round, SC in every ST around (including the SK ST’s from the last round). Weave in ends when complete.
