The star stitch is a simple crochet stitch that uses single crochet and half double crochet stitches. Crochet two rows of stitches to achieve this lovely starburst pattern. It’s really not as hard as it seems. Once you learn where to place your hook in just the right places, it’s smooth sailing from there.

Since you will be adding a border to this blanket pattern, the yarn that is carried up the side is covered up nicely. The fancy crochet border is achieved with five rounds of crochet stitches. The fourth round creates the rounded shell on the edges and corners, which is perfect if you want to stop after the fourth round.
