This pattern is an adaptation of the 6-Day Supernova Blanket by Betty McKnit. It creates a slightly more than half-circular star-shaped shawl. It has five large points and four smaller points. I used the ever favorite camel stitch border for this eye-catching shawl.

There are shawl adaptations the 6-Day Star and the 6-Day Superstar as well.
