Chromium Star Blanket *free patern link added*

[laurah4200]

You can find the free pattern in the Crochetville original patterns section or

on my blog, A Whole Load of Craft.

 

The blanket uses an unusual stitch called adjacent double crochet, for

which I have put up a couple tutorials on my blog.

 

A big thanks to RoseRed, Super Granny and Riohnna who tested the pattern

for me!

 

 

 

 

I worked up this little number for a lady who works at the local grocery

store. (I live in a tiny town, so it's not that random, right?) Her little boy

just turned one, so of course I jumped. A reason to make a baby blanket,

yea!

I've had this Bernat Sweet Stripes for ages and it frankly was the softest

yarn I could muster from my stash in the largest amount. It is hard to rip

out if you make a mistake (of which I made many) and also splits a lot.

But it is a nice soft, cheap acrylic, so I can't complain.

That is a very AWESOME looking star. I'll check out the pattern if you like.

Very cool! I love the Bernat Baby Coordinates Stripes. If I had the time, I'd test for you, but I'm going to be out of town the next two weeks on business. Let me know when the pattern goes up though, I know a few kiddo-s who'd like it.

[Super Granny]

I would love to test the pattern.. I'm making a lot of baby afghans for charity and need somme different patterns... I get bored if I have to do the same pattern over and over.. PM me if you want and I'll give you my address..

It's beautiful! You did a wonderful job. I just love the randomness (is that a word?) of the stripes the yarn did.

[Trinket]

The way the colors mixed from the striping yarn looks really interesting. And I rather like your style of the star-ghan. I'm looking forward to seeing your version of it and maybe giving it a try. Excellent work!

[Aelita]

That is so pretty I can't wait for the pattern. I have some of tis yarn in that color too. I have'nt worked with it before.

[kittyloverdeb]

[damekiri]

That is gorgeous! I guess I can't test it now as everyone's asked already But I'll be making this when you have the pattern all ready to go. Absolutely awesome.
