Measure Approx. From one edge to edge - 12 inches/ 32 cm
Keep checking your work after every round. The blanket
should gradually spread outward while maintaining the star shape, for more
sizes repeat increasing row.
0-3 months- Repeat the increase row for (11 Rows)
3-6 months- Repeat the increase row for (12 Rows)
6-9 months- Repeat the increase row for (14 Rows)
9-12 months- Repeat the increase row for (15 Rows)
Continue repeating the pattern until your blanket reaches
the size you want.
For 3 – 6 Baby Star
Blanket/Slip Sack, you can stop once you reach the measurements needed for a 3
- 6 as shown in the video tutorial. For a larger baby blanket, continue adding
rounds.
Tip:
Measure your blanket regularly instead of relying only on the number of rounds
because different yarns and crochet tension can produce different sizes.
