What’s the difference between the Star, the Superstar, and the Supernova?

  • All three patterns are based on the 6-Day Kid Blanket and use the same sequence of stitches in different configurations.

  • Edge and Border - Each of the three shawl patterns has a unique designed-by-Betty border Shape

  • the 6-Day Star Shawl has five large points, the 6-Day Superstar Shawl has nine smaller points, and the 6-Day Supernova Shawl has 5 large points and 4 smaller points.

  • Size - all three patterns make a shawl that is the same width, the Star will appear to be the longest with the largest points, the
    Superstar appears smaller with the
    smallest points.

  • Stripes: All three patterns are “stripe it yourself.“
