The Starry Night afghan square features the star stitch, a textured stitch that looks like a starburst. The square is finished off with a round of single crochet for an even, straight edge to make it easy to sew to other squares.

The star stitch, also known as the Daisy stitch or Marguerite stitch, is created with a 2-row repeat, pulling up loops (like a sc5tog) in one row and finishing the star with a row of hdc. It’s a stitch that looks complicated but is easy to work.

The Starry Night afghan square is perfect for blankets for all ages, pillows and wearables like scarves. The star stitch is fun to work and the resulting fabric is beautiful!
