Archie's Star

The cost of this pattern will be converted from Australian $ to your local currency at checkout. ABOUT I designed this pattern for my cousin’s grandson, Archie. I liked the idea of the star, as he is radiating so much joy, in so many lives. I can remember his father jumping into my arms, at the age of 3, and telling me he loved me. Special family moments, never forgotten. Archie was born in Scotland, and we live in Australia. I hope we get to travel again at some point, to see family, and to meet this beautiful boy. In the meantime, I watch his gorgeous smiles in photographs. I hope you enjoy this pattern DETAILS • The blanket is worked in the round • This pattern is symmetrical; therefore, it is the same for left and right-handers. • The completed size of the blanket shown is approximately 124 cm (48.5 inches), measured from tip of star point to tip of star point across the middle.
