Not sure if you’re ready for a big project? Test out the technique with my free Heartshine C2C pattern!

The North Star has been known for thousands of years
as the guiding star. It is easy to lose ourselves in the
vastness of a star-filled sky, but finding the North Star
reorients us and sets us on the right course. Just as we
use the star for physical navigation, we can focus on
our personal North Star in all that we do. Every
journey begins with a single step; let your North Star
be your guide.

The Starshine Blanket uses the corner-to-corner (C2C)
crochet technique (in US crochet terminology). Beginning with only 6 chains, each row is built as a series of linked blocks of double crochet. You’ll see progress right away as one block is added per row. Once your project reaches the target width, the decreasing corner is finished before you know it!

Take your blanket wherever you like to dream—to the
park for cloud gazing, the backyard for meteor
showers, or the sofa for a nap. Dream big and let your
star shine bright!
