8 Pointed Star Blanket

Introducing our beautifully designed star-shaped blanket knitting pattern, perfect for those who love to create stylish and functional pieces in the round! This blanket features a stunning eight-pointed star pattern, knitted in soft and cozy stocking stitch, complemented by a lovely garter stitch border. Ideal for knitters of all skill levels, this pattern utilizes both left and right make one increases, along with a centered double decrease, ensuring a seamless creation process. After completing the initial setup, you'll enjoy an easy-to-memorize sequence of two rows that make this an engaging and repetitive project.

We recommend using Caron Cakes yarn for this pattern, available in a wide array of vibrant colors. Caron Cakes are perfect for this design as they feature large color repeats, creating a beautiful striped effect that enhances the star shape without the hassle of joining new yarn. The small size of the blanket measures an impressive 44 inches (112 cm) across and requires just one cake of yarn, while the larger size, measuring a generous 62 inches (158 cm), uses two cakes, making it a versatile option for everyone.

This stunning star-shaped blanket is suitable for many uses, whether as a stylish throw, a cozy lap rug, or an adorable baby blanket. Every detail is carefully laid out in our comprehensive pattern instructions, including clear guidance on all the necessary increases and decreases. Additionally, markers are included to help you easily track the end of each section and the correct position for your decreases, ensuring a smooth knitting experience.
