The Crochet Super Star Baby Blanket is one of the first patterns Mikey wrote after deciding to crochet full-time. It was one of his first blankets that went beyond granny squares.
Crochet a unique baby blanket in the shape of a star. Star blankets make great gifts at the baby shower and are easily foldable around a baby.

The white colour goes in every 4th round. The video tutorial shows you where to stick the hook after the point. New crocheters tend to miss the first stitch, causing the points to bend off to the side.

Broken button:
This article has two blue buttons. First one goes to correct pattern, the second does not.

I'm not even sure why the second one was there, it's been deleted, thank you for bringing it to my attention! 🙂
Susan Sisson says
Ch3 at beginning of round 2 is unnecessary.
