Beth's Little Star afghan

[badrhinogillett]

Well, I should be finished with my Christmas projects tonight!!! :cheer So, my next "to-do" is Beth's Little Star Afghan. The pattern on the website is only listed for a preemie size. I was wondering, how many rounds have people made it to make it for a regular baby blanket and not the preemie size?

 

Also, I am going to do it in 2 colors and wondering how other people have done the color change? How often?

I have just kept adding rows basically until I ran out of yarn to make it larger. The color changes are a little harder to explain, but you can search the board in the finished product areas to see how people often others have changed the colors. I personally had made the color change with the second slip stitch in on the begining of the row.

I found that the Round Ripple was better to make as a shawl for a baby.

When it is about 18 inches across, the Star looks OK but any bigger and the points seem to look out of proportion to the whole thing.

The Round Ripple on the other hand, looks OK at any size.

They are both very pretty and fun to do but I think the Round Ripple looks best at Shawl size.

Thats just my opinion as I have made both.

The Star, I made in Rainbow colours and my mother has it as a chair back, the Round Ripple, also in Rainbow colours repeated twice, I gave to a new baby in our neighbour-hood.
