Crochet Baby Blanket Star
This Crochet Baby Blanket Star measures about 43" across the tips and is using the basics to create the shape. It's made with Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn that is really thick and easy to work with. Due to the thickness, a blanket like this is very quick to make.
I don't like to waste yarn, so I used two full balls of the Bernat Baby Blanket 300 g size in the green colour and a portion of the orange colour for the 300 g for the trim.
You can use this free pattern, Baby Star Blanket to get you started. The star tutorial will get you started. Please use a Size N or 10 mm, Crochet Hook, with this yarn.

Thank you for the pattern an tutorial! I noticed in the pattern for 2nd round it says chain 2 in between the 3 double crochets but in the video Mikey does chain 3. Does it matter or was there a mistake in the pattern or video? Thanks. I wanted to check before I get too much done.

I chained three but the pattern does say Chain 2... You will know right away if it feels wrong. I'm a loose crocheter.
