Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn in cream
• Hook: Size N/P (10 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 star stitches and 6 rows = 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 width of 36 inches, you would chain 37 (6 x 6 + 1).
2. Row 1:
   • Skip the first chain from the hook.
   • In the next chain, insert your hook, yarn over, and pull up a loop. You should have two loops on your hook.
   • Yarn over again and pull up a loop in the same chain. Repeat this step a total of 6 times. You will have 7 loops on your hook.
   • Yarn over and pull through all 7 loops on your hook to complete the star stitch.
   • Chain 1 to close the star stitch.
   • Repeat this process across the row until you reach the end. You should end with a star stitch in the last chain.
3. Row 2:
   • Chain 3. This counts as your first double crochet (dc).
   • In the eye of the first star stitch, work 2 double crochets (dc).
   • Continue working 2 dc into the eye of each star stitch across the row.
   • At the end of the row, finish with 1 dc in the last stitch (the top of the chain 1 from Row 1).
4. Repeat Rows: Continue to repeat Rows 1 and 2 until your blanket reaches the desired length. This will create the beautiful texture of the star stitch.
5. Finishing Touch: To give your blanket a clean edge, finish with a row of single crochet around the entire blanket. This will help to prevent any curling at the edges.
6. Fasten Off: Once you have completed the border, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle.

Congratulations! You have now completed your Cozy Crochet Star Stitch Blanket. Enjoy the warmth and beauty of your handmade creation!
