“The Stars at night / are big and bright / Deep in the Heart of Texas” (Don’t forget to clap your hands as you sing along!)

Inspired by the big skies and bright stars of North Texas. This is a companion to Prairie Sky.

Worked flat, side to side. The borders, edging and star motif are both written and charted.

Skill level: intermediate - requires single and double decreases, double yos, following a non-repetitive motif

Sample shown in: Chicken Coop Dyeworks Butterfly Lace (80% SW Merino/20% silk; 875 yd/100g) in “Texas Sky”, 1 skein
