6-Day STAR Blanket for Juniper Moon Farm
A crochet pattern by Betty McKnit
This variation of the classic 6-Day Kid Blanket works from the center out into the shape of a seven-pointed star. This custom version is specifically designed to be made with Juniper Moon Farm’s Cumulus Degrade, the softest of cotton yarns in spectacular color gradients.
The 6-Day Star Blanket™ was inspired by the 6-Day Kid Blanket, a classic chevron blanket with alternating rows of single crochet, double crochet, and clusters. The 6-Day Star really shines when made with gradient yarns; this pattern is the perfect match for Juniper Moon’s colors.
