Star Dust Blanket

The need for blocking is minimal, and the result is both unusual and pleasing. The large scale of the motif is accentuated by the use of a bulky weight yarn, the pattern is intuitive and can be easily memorized after a few repeats. Scaling is also very easy by adding or subtracting pattern repeats. The pattern contains both a lap sized blanket and a full sized afghan, and is easy enough for an adventurous beginner. Worked in bulky weight wool, this makes a fast project with sure to please results. **Erratas:** **Body** Work the body of the blanket as follows: Row 1 and all odd numbered rows (RS): sl1pwise wyib, (k1, p1) 5 times, k1, sm, work Star Dust chart 5(6) times, sm, p1, (k1, p1) 5 times, k1.
