CROCHET: Star blanket | Bella Coco

[@ac.7348]

These tutorials are amazing! It's the first time where what I do actually looks like on screen! I have also leaned a lot of basics. Thank you!

[@bellacococrochet]

You're welcome :)

[@kayhamil23]

I just made this into a baby blanket... total success! I love your tutorials. They are so easy to follow and so well explained!

[@Mama-dj6mi]

As soon as some other craft projects I've got on the go are done, then this is up next & I absolutely cannot wait!! Thankyou ever so much for your tutorials. I wouldn't have achieved what I have without them ❤ xx

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

[@lenaparnell2417]

Hello, a hundred Thank You’s for this video. It is so easy to do & after I did a few rows after the star I found it very easy to remember the stitches. I chose to do mine w/a red star w/3 rows of white & 3 rows of soft navy & repeating them in order to follow the red, white & blue scheme. I thought a J hook might be too large but it’s really not. The J hook makes it a softer afghan. I’m doing it for a raffle as a big ticket item for my husbands 25th Infantry Division Survivors Reunion held every August near Washington, DC. I did the 3rd row of white & am starting the soft navy. It’s coming together real nice. I just love this pattern & can’t think of any other way of honoring our Vets than with one of these. Thank you again.

I am brand new to crochet, I just want to say I found both of your videos so helpful and detailed I love how my blanket is coming along! 💕

[@tiffanyhope3620]

I see this comment is from 4yrs ago.. Just curious, have you kept up with crocheting and mastered it over the years?

[@tasha5419]

You are amazing! Simple instructions, perfect for someone with ADHD!

[@bellacococrochet]

Thank you :)

[@goldenyarn7892]

Never seen a color change done this way . Looks fantastic. Stars can be a bit tricky at first but once you get the hang its gravy!

[@bellacococrochet]

Thank you :)

[@MysticalDreamer32]

Thank you so much for your video! Very easy to understand (and thanks for the quick US conversion for a double crochet). Can't wait to finish this!!

[@andrewball5512]

Thankyou for such a great Tutorial I bought some self striping yarn today and started making this. Easy enough pattern thank you very much 😊I love ur tutorials they r really easy to follow 😊

[@rachaelmiller6344]

was wondering is there a written pattern for this, its lovely

[@copperdragon5512]

Modified a little to kind of accommodate using size 6 super bulky yarn and a 10mm or N hook. Instead of doing the 4 rounds for the puff stitch, do 2, followed instructions as instructed in video. Making an adult sized blanket for a house warming gift for friends after making the 12 point blanket for my baby.

[@marylynch7404]

Thank you for explaining and showing the stitches to be worked...great tutorial, love all of them!

You're very welcome :)

[@crocheting-around-the-planet]

I was wondering have you buy any chance ever done a star in a traditional granny square as I cannot find anything that I can understand and know your tutorials are perfect. Kind regards Elaine Hindle

Love this video ty so much , i am now making a star baby blanket for a friend instead of one made from granny squares as up until i found your channel were the only things i could crochet and i have trouble following a written pattern

[@sherritucker511]

I love my stylecraft special yarn and am waiting on a delivery for that and paintbox can't get enough of these yarn

[@buttonsandbowsxo]

Hi, I did this tutorial, thinking of leaving it as it is but wanted to turn the pattern into a square so that it's more of a blanket with the star pattern in the middle. Is there any tutorials you have to show how to do this? Thanks x

[@chrissyreiswig5397]

cant wait to start this blanket

[@jeanninegallagher3162]

I imagine this would work as an afghan. Do you make individual stars then connect each to make a larger blanket? If so, how would you connect?

[@amaanhussain9867]

I don’t think stars alone would interlock properly without gaps

[@elliemegan6545]

you should do the big knit for innocent juices you can crochet little hats as there's crochet patterns

[@RosethornRee]

oh yes ... a tutorial for those would be great as iv already sent off my snowflakes and the big knit (crochet lol) is next on my list

[@hachettepartworks-craft9286]

Great pattern Bella!

[@jcrefasi1]

I truly love love love your videos!! Would you have any suggestions as to how add rounds to the star to square off the sides for an adult afghan? So basically a star granny square on steroids lol

[@suesmart2906]

And the blanket itself is one big star? No attaching separate ones?

[@allierodney4917]

Yes

[@daribanana2022]

Very nice 😊 Definitely going to make one. But, is there a way to "square off" the edges? If so, could you please make a video for that as well 😊?

[@salmanboy5442]

nice one ,! made something beautifull for children because its winter

[@cellingwood6109]

Thank you for this instruction!

[@bellacococrochet]

You're very welcome :)

[@SuziSpooks]

Beautiful 😊

[@curlygirlcrochet5281]

Hello! At 7:14 you slip stitch into the 3rd chain to join the round. I noticed you only go into one loop and not 2 loops of the chain. Is there a difference? I just found this tutorial and I think i am going to use this pattern for a temperature blanket!

[@bellacococrochet]

When I'm working into the top on the chain, I tend to only go through one loops. I suppose otters people might go through two. Its just the way I do it, no right or wrong- personal preference :)

[@curlygirlcrochet5281]

Thanks!

[@suesmart2906]

Found it! Forgot that I had to pull down the menu for the links. Doh. :) Thank you!

[@crochetcrazylady9905]

I made this once, I need to do it again…thanks for the reminder~~Gina

[@Mazro26]

I feel this one much easier than the other star point five pattern

[@JemGal]

Thanks for the great tutorial Sarah. Would you be able to do a tutorial on the same blanket without the gaps at every point?

[@ETurner_UK]

Hey Bella, I was wondering if you have any tutorials on putting a border on to the star blanket. Thanks for the brilliant tutorials. I love them. xx

[@eviedun]

Good job. Love this.

[@selin6228]

Beautiful!

[@nashwamuhammad9542]

very nice, thanks Bella

[@rebeccaswanger2354]

Love this pattern. Making a baby blanket for my niece/nephew who is due in a few months. The middle of my star isn't laying flat though. The corners aren't curling in, but it's a bit puffy in the center. As I work out, will the weight of the blanket pull this puff out?

[@emmamacinnes2353]

Did you ever get an answer for this or did it sort itself out? Mines doing the same

[@curtboston]

I love this blanket pattern and get a lot of compliments on it, but I feel like the center protrudes out more because it is more of a solid shape than the rest of the blanket. I've done blocking on it, but it still feels like a protrusion. Any way that can be lessened?

[@claireruth6727]

Where the video for the star i been lookinv like mad as want try this bkanklet out thank you

[@FlutterbyCrochet21]

is there anyway to make this into a square blanket?

[@jessicaswan7015]

I've started a rainbow colour star blanket for my daughter :)

[@katherinepalmer9265]

I love this but I'd like to make a 12 point one. Is it as simple as doubling the first star? Thanks xxx

[@adgurl01]

Hi Bella. I started this Star Afghan. I'm making for my brother-in-law who is a Dallas Cowboys fan. There will be three colors: Blue, White and Gray. After I grow my Star to the desired length and width, I want to square it off with a Gray border with the Star in the center. How do you suggest I do that?

[@sadeeqah]

yup !!! found it. thanks.

[@chrissyreiswig5397]

hoping to make it in a throw size blanket. as a gift. with blue grey and white

[@rachelbias28]

I kinda wanted to fill in the sides. Is that even possible? Just an idea.

[@rosalindaanaya8605]

I've been trying to figure the same thing out

[@aiiyahc1118]

Hi! ^~^ Thanks so much for the tutorial!! :) Please, please, please show how to square it off? I've been trying so hard to find a tutorial for that on KZbin but that was to no avail.

[@serenityhachey-carroll5463]

great tutorial!☺☺☺😀😀😀

[@mercedeshernandez2821]

Hey if you were to do a border for this blanket, what border would you do?

[@preetinderburdett4188]

Hi, I was wondering if you could do a video with a pattern to make some Christmas stockings?

[@Carlee907]

For this blanket, would you add a border or leave the last round as the border? If you add a border, is there a specific border you would recommend?

[@bellacococrochet]

+Carlee907 I would personally not have a border x

[@Carlee907]

+Bella Coco - Awesome, thank you

[@abbywebb2822]

How many of each color do you do? Look like two for each color except for the white and that's one. Is that correct

[@luwandaartrelle4250]

How many rows did you do? What are the measurements of this blanket star?

[@susangreene3152]

Do you have a tutorial for a 6 pointed star pattern?

[@RochelleChanel]

thank you xx

[@zohahussain7089]

very cool

[@freedommagcrew]

Hi!! What border do you recommend for a star blanket?

[@bellacococrochet]

I'd personally just do something simple like a row of double crochet or crab stitch. maybe a pom pom on the points? :)

[@freedommagcrew]

oooo pom poms on the points! that's brilliant

[@jennamccormick9154]

What size hook did you use to make the centre star ?x

[@bellacococrochet]

[@emmamacinnes2353]

Is there a reason mine wont lie completely flat? I've followed the instructions exactly but its seems to 'puff up' in the middle? Will this sort its self out when I'm done? Thanks x

[@bellacococrochet]

Hi Emma, you should find that the middle stretches out as the blanket gets bigger. If not, blocking it once it's done should sort it 🙂

[@gemmad8868]

Do you have the link to the syarter star please?

is it possible to turn this star into a circle???

[@xanthedoe1880]

I have got to around row 15 on my blanket and the blanket is turning in on itself (i.e not laying flat) :( is it best to steam block it once I've finished the whole blanket or start steaming now and keep doing it every few rows? I'm doing roughly 45 rows all together. Please help! :S

[@bellacococrochet]

+Xanthe Doe you might find that the large it gets, the more it will lay flat because of the weight of it. Try not to crochet too tightly as this might also be causing it to curl. xx

[@xanthedoe1880]

+Bella Coco ok thank you. I think maybe I've crocheted to tightly. I may just start all over again with a hook 2 sizes bigger to counteract the tight tension. Thank you for the quick reply ^_^ xx

[@serenityhachey-carroll5463]

could you make a tutorial on slippers!

[@helenify6447]

Thanks

[@pamelaseaman9490]

Hi I have made the star with a 4mm but once I start the blanket it won't lay flat, I tried a 4,5 now swopped to a 4 this is the second one I have made can you help

[@bellacococrochet]

This pattern normally lays nice and flat so I would have a quick check that you're working it correctly; the pattern is worked on a three row repeat but remember only two of those rounds have the increases at the star points, and the other one has just (one treble, chain two, one treble). If you're sure you're working everything correctly you can try blocking your blanket - just pin it and stretch it out into shape 😊

[@jodicobourn7445]

I don’t see a link for the center star… can I get a link to that video please?

[@beckypynigar6719]

super cute!!! I've been looking for a way to crochet stars like this for ages so I can make a captain America shield rug, would there be a way to convert this into a circle eventually? I'll likely find a way, just wondering if anyone already knows of one? Thanks for the great tutorial as always :)

[@UltimateGinge25]

I'm sure my reply is way too late, but an idea might be just to make the circle rug and sew the star on after. Although that would leave the star slightly raised, so maybe my idea isn't the best. :/ Also, Captain America Shield rug? You're awesome!

[@pamelaseaman9490]

Hi I followed this pattern using a 4.5 hook and dk wool but the middle is not laying flat, can you help

[@bellacococrochet]

It's quite common for the middle to bunch up at first until you've added more rounds, but you could also try adjusting your hook size down to a 4mm 😊

[@pamelaseaman9490]

@@bellacococrochet I have used a 4.5 and is still bunching up and I have done about 8 rows

[@lovinlife5912]

I've done about 12 rows of the star blanket but it diesnt lie flat. Is that normal or am i doing something wrong? Thanks xx

[@bellacococrochet]

It's not unusual for the centre of the star not to lie flat at first, but once you begin to add more rows it should stretch it into shape 😊

[@lovinlife5912]
