6-Day Star Blanket
A Crochet Pattern by Betty McKnit

This viral crochet sensation is a variation of the classic 6-Day Kid Blanket. It is worked from the center out into the shape of seven-pointed star. As it turns out this version is just as addictive as the original! No one can make just one 6-Day Crochet Blanket.

This fun and easy pattern is adaptable, perfect for crocheters of all levels of experience. It is easy enough for new crocheters and interesting and addictive for the more seasoned. This blanket can be made in virtually any yarn, can be striped any number of ways, and you can stop at 12 rounds for a lovey size, or continue to grow your blanket as large as you want. The border is a very simple reverse single crochet.

What’s the difference between this blanket and the 6-Day Superstar, and 6-Day Supernova Blankets?

• The 6-Day Star blanket has seven points and is the easiest of the 6-Day Star Blankets. It has eight setup rounds and repeats the same 6 rounds after that. I suggest first timers and new crocheters start their 6-Day Crochet journey with the 6-Day Star.
• The 6-Day Superstar has 14 points and comes out almost circular with chevrons. It has a few more setup rounds than the 6-Day Star that some crocheters find more challenging than the 6-Day Star. Once the setup is complete, it is easy and repetitive, like the 6-Day Star.
• The 6-Day Supernova has a total of 14 points: 7 larger points and 7 smaller points. It isn’t difficult to make, but the pattern itself has lots of different rounds It is easier to understand once you’re familiar with the 6-Day Crochet style. Try the Supernova when you feel comfortable with the Star and you’re ready for a challenge.
• You can also make a 6-Day Star, Superstar, or Supernova Holiday Tree Skirt, a 6-Day Star, Superstar, or Supernova Shawl. Keep an eye out for more pattern adaptations from the 6-Day Star Blanket.
