Making The 6 Day Star Blanket… Section 3!

May 8, 2026 By Leave a Comment

I’m Making The 6 Day Star Blanket! I now have completed the 2nd six round repeat and it is looking better than I could have imagined! I hope you may consider joining me and let’s make this together…

6 Day Star Blanket

This is the 6 Day Star Blanket by Betty McKnit… I won’t finish in 6 days, to much life, gardening, other designs and spending time with friends and family. So, I decided to set a timer to see how long this will take! This section took 1 hour 45 mins…

That is a total of 5 hours 35 mins so far. I am sure as I get further along each 6 round section will take longer due to the increase in stitches!

I decided to use 7 colors of my stash to make this… 2 rounds of each color once I started the 6 round repeat…

I love this so far! For this section I used an H hook still, she(Betty McKnit) recommends potentially sizing up your hook as the project gets bigger to avoid curling. I think next round I will switch up!

So Far, it measures 33″ from point to point, last measurement was 22.5″. With a cute border this could almost be a baby blanket! 9 rounds of set up and 12 rounds of the continued repeats for a total of 21 rounds!!!

I would love if you join me over on my Beatrice Ryan Designs CAL Group and make this with me!!! Working at our own pace, I’m not trying to finish this project in 6 days…. Just a bit each day

Making The 6 Day Star Blanket… Section 2!

May 7, 2026 By Leave a Comment

The Making of the 6 Day Star Blanket by Betty McKnit… I completed the 1st 6 rounds of the pattern repeat yesterday after doing the previous 9 round set up… Each time I complete the 6 repeat rounds I will show you how it looks… And, so far It I love it…

Section 2

I would love if you join me over on my Beatrice Ryan Designs CAL Group and make this with me!!! Working at our own pace, I’m not trying to finish this project in 6 days…. Just a bit each day while working on other projects… Of course, the first bit is faster than it will be when I get towards the end,,, More stitches each row will slow down how much I get done…

If you would like to join me or make this in the future…. Here is the link for the 6 Day Star Blanket by Betty McKnit on Ravelry… Free or PDF purchase

Scrap Yarn Choice

I am using my scrap yarn and have 7 colors, since this is a 6 round repeat, that will change up how the repeats fall… And I am doing 2 rows of each color, at least for now. If I run out of a color, we will see what happens! For this section I used an H hook still, she(Betty McKnit) recommends potentially sizing up your hook as the project gets bigger to avoid curling.

The pattern is well written, you just have to pay attention to where the 1st stitches start and end and your stitch count. She also has a video… so Yay!

Instead of counting days, I have a timer I turn on each time I sit to crochet… To this point I crocheted another hour and 50 minutes for the grand total of 3 hours and 50 minutes. This includes reading the pattern, getting my yarn ready, crocheting the 6 rounds, counting stitches and a couple little frogging sections..

This project measured 22.5″ so far(previously 13″ at the end of the 9 set up rounds), I still have one more color to add in the mix too!

I hope you will join me! Stay tuned for my 2nd round of repeats!!! You can come back here or get the post links by email by using the “Stay Connected” in the righthand sidebar to get all my posts by email… Or like I said… Join my CAL Group to follow along or make this with me!!!

Last weekend I finally purchased the Ninja Slushi Machine… I have wanted one for over a year and the price finally dropped a bit.. I love it! I made Frozen Margaritas, Mocha Frappe, Wine Slushi, Protien Milkshake and can’t wait to try a Creamed Lemonade Slushi today!

You can get this so many places, but here is the Amazon Link for quick delivery!

Happy Crocheting!!!

6 May 2026 Pattern Review – Fun Star Blanket!!!

Pattern Review – Fun Star Blanket!!!

May 6, 2026 By Leave a Comment

Some days I just want to sit and crochet and not try to work up a new design in my head… I have been seeing the viral 6 Day Star Blanket by Betty McKnit for so long now and decided to give it a go! Do you want to make it with me???

yarn

I am not going to finish in 6 days… To much life going on… New designs of my own on my hook and gardening… However, I am setting a timer to see how long it actually takes…. I’m also not sure how big I will make it.

After making the set up rounds, you repeat 6 rounds over and over until you reach your desired blanket(or run out of yarn lol).

Each time I finish a section(ie set up rounds and each 6 row repeat,) I will post pics and check in with you!

If you would like to make this along with me… Yay!!! I will be also hosting this on my Beatrice Ryan Designs Crochet Along Group… Join me there to post your progress and pics!!! Click Here to head to my group!!! AND if you are joining me... Click here to grab the pattern from Betty McKnit on Ravelry… Free on her site or you can purchase the PDF

I grabbed my scrap yarn and off I went… I chose to use 7 of my scrap yarn colors that coordinated(with the variegated yarn) so that the color rotation would change up for each 6 round repeat… I did 2 rounds of each color! I used an H hook for this section.

Here is the set up round… I chose for this section to do the 1st 5 rounds in one color, then 2 rows each of the next 2 colors for the total of the 9 set up rounds. This took about 2 hours of crocheting, including reading over the instructions, getting my yarn and hook ready and yes a tad bit of frogging lol. At this point mine measured approximately 13″ from point to point.

set up rounds

The pattern is beginner friendly, you just have to pay attention to where the stitches go and watch your stitch count… The way she writes the pattern(with asterisk and parenthesies) is a little different than how I write my patterns, but great and she has very detailed instructions on that too!

I hope you will join me! Stay tuned for my 1st round of repeats!!! You can come back here or get the post links by email by using the “Stay Connected” in the righthand sidebar to get all my posts by email… Or like I said… Join my CAL Group

Happy Crocheting!!!
