The Star Advent Blanket was designed back in 2022 but due to unforeseen circumstances is only being launched now in November 2026 in time for this year’s yarn advent season.

And to celebrate it’s launch after four years on the shelf please use the code STAR25 for 25% off until the end of November 2026.

The pattern was designed specifically for a yarn advent. The sample is made with the Indie Yarn Club DK weight yarn advent 2021. The white used is Rico Baby Classic DK.

You will need 24 x 20g of advent colours and 400g of white to complete the blanket using a 4mm hook.

Each two-colour mitred square works out at approx. 12cm x 12cm and the finished blanket measures approx. 108cm x 108cm.

There are two video tutorials linked in the pattern to assist with making the mitred squares, which are perfect for this quilt-inspired crochet pattern because you don’t have to carry yarn thus giving greater definition to the colour separation.

The pattern is provided in both UK and US crochet terminology.

The design uses a quilting pattern layout called Entropy designed by Summer of Squats and Running Stitches, you can find Summer’s amazing quilt patterns on her website here. The main inspiration for the Star Advent is her rainbow version of the quilt used in the promotion for the #entropyscrapalong she held in 2022.

Summer kindly gave her permission to use the entropy layout for this crochet pattern.

The pattern has been extensively tested and tech edited but please check back here should errata be published, as this pattern has been converted from my native UK terminology into US terms, sometimes errors can slip past.
