I have never had a harder time naming something in all my life. In the history of naming things, this one takes the cake. Speaking of cake… everything from Confetti, to Funfetti, to Sprinkles and Dreams were floated. None of it felt right (and also had been already in use by thousands of other patterns). I thought Friendship, Y2K, Millennial, Cottage, Camp and Vintage Starburst blankets would all work… alas, no. In the end, I went with my heart. I present to you the Nostalgia Starburst Blanket Pattern. Because, it’s nostalgic for me. As an 80’s millennial, this blanket reminds me of my entire childhood. Think camp, friendship bracelets (attached to your jeans with a safety pin, of course), making beaded flower bracelets at the cottage, scrunchies, butterfly hair clips, those Lip Smacker chap sticks…the list goes on and on. The joining colour on this blanket was WILD and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have my doubts. But as I joined row after row, a warmth grew. It was JUST-SO-FUN!! Completely nostalgic, and the sweetest little dopamine hit. I hope you love it!!! This pattern is worked up using the starburst granny square. The pattern uses the Millennial Collection-DK by The Frosted Stitch Yarn and a 4.5mm hook (size 7). There is a blanket kit available through the Frosted Stitch, and I give alternative yarn options/links in the pattern as well :) Pattern includes all colours used and the yarn quantities as well as exact positioning. It's written recipe style so you can substitute any DK weight yarn. My gift to you is taking the work out of colourwork! The final blanket size was: Approximately 46” x 61" inches. Pattern will include: - yarn amounts/quantities. - yarn colours/colour legend - yarn recommendations/links - stitch glossary. - printable pdf of blanket graph. - full colour chart of all squares and their positioning so you can make this EXACT colour copy! - full written instruction for the square used (starburst granny square). - written and video tutorial for border. - video tutorials for the sunburst as well as the continuous join as you go method (CJAYG). Happy Crocheting Everyone! L, M
