it's so exciting seeing these videos being re-upped! I made my first star blanket with the old videos, and I'm now almost done with my second and don't need to reference the videos anymore. This pattern is my favorite and I think I'll always keep coming back to it because it's so intuitive. Thank you for this, Betty!
Thanks! It’s important to me that crocheters enjoy the process and I hate to see frustration. I’m working my way through my whole library as I work on new designs, that is why I haven’t released anything lately. Thanks for your kind words!
I'm not done with my blanket yet but i just had to pause and comment. This is THE BEST crochet tutorial I have ever watched. I just had to let you know how good of a video this is. THANK YOU!
hi!! i have adhd and most video tutorials are really hard for me to continue once i get frustrated once. i did get frustrated during the starting rounds 1-9 video, but i took a breath, put it down, and (surprisingly enough!) came back to work on my project!! i'm FLYING through these rows and i love how patient and descriptive you are!! much love 🫶🏻
Hi!! Intermediate crocheter here. I usually don't comment, but I just had to. I've only started crocheting a few months ago, but wow... This is honestly the best crochet tutorial I've watched, and I've watched many! Currently finishing up my first big crochet project using this tutorial rn. Thank you so much!! 🩷🩷🩷
I love that there’s a video for the written pattern. Once I got to this part of the pattern I was a tad confused but the video helped so much and I was right back on my feet!!! 😊
This is my first project! I used this video to teach myself how to crochet. After watching both part 1 and 2 of this, i feel accomplished! these videos have been so helpful. This has been a great way to learn stitches!
I have never actually finished a blanket 1. Because i at some point got the stitch count wrong and gpt frustrated and 2. Bdcause it took too long and was always the same stitch all over, but i am already at my second repeat and still going strong. I love how you explain every little detail and also give several possible explanations where i could have gone wrong at some point so i can fix it.. Thank you!!!
I swear this is the best video to follow for my ADHD, plus the blanket is amazing! My best friend sent me these videos as a hint so now he’s getting his blanket 😂
Decided to give it a go with some bulky yarn that's been sitting around and WOW! I'm really enjoying this! I'm not one to crochet blankets but this kept me entertained and busy. Despite what some people were complaining, I've found the free pattern's ads not bothersome and the instructions pretty clear. When I did find myself confused, the video tutorials were great help! Overall, it was easy to follow along! I'm on day 3 and my blanket us turning out great so far!
I finished to this part in one day . Thank you so much for these videos, i bought your pattern but your videos are great for me, im a visual learner. Love all the photos in the pattern, very well written and easy to follow with the video, it helps me and i make notes for future reference. Thank you again, i cannot wait to finish this one and make a Wicked inspired one.

Thank you so much for clearifying what is and is not a stitch😍 till now ive been taking a lucky guess every time ive used a stitchmatker on my first stitch and ive worked into my slipstitches which explains why i often end up with that pesky extra stitch. 😂 I started crocheting last month and many tutorials take it for granted that you know thiese things.❤

Im doing something massively wrong or something lol. I'm counting my stitches and when I crochet it, it counts out right but when I do the next row it's all off and I can not figure out how........
this same thing happened to me and i was almost 10 rows and 2 hours in and had to redo the whole thing unfortunately 💔 but you’ll get it next time around. when i started again, at round 7 or 8 i didn’t have enough stitches across so i was adding/subtracting some as i went and now it’s on track!! 1:02:53
I know it says that it’s not a self correcting pattern but you definitely can correct you stitch count. I got really far into mine and realized I have too many stitches and they weren’t adding up so I had to add some to one side and drop some on the other. It got me right back on track for my next round. I hope your blanket went well!!
I done the 1st video on my 1st day and now I’ve finished this video/2nd video on my 2nd day, I only have a few hours a night to crochet so it might take me a bit more then 6 days but thank you for these updated tutorials! This blanket will make a great Christmas present!
Quite literally never crocheted a day in my life (besides the time i was 12 and my grandmother tried getting me to crochet a chain, my hands fumbled and i tied knots in the yarn!) Im 21 now and am already an hour and change into the video halfway through round 6! Ive been crocheting for 6 hours straight for this but Im getting an incredibly cute blanket out of it- THANK YOU for your tutorials! I literally only needed one other video on how to single vs double crochet and how to hold the yarn and I was able to figure everything else out just by watching you!
always seen people talking about this pattern but i was scared of it cause i can barely do a granny square but, this pattern and your videos are amazing. very well explained and your not going overly fast which is amazing. my star is definitely becoming a star 🤭 never been more proud of my self, thank you thank you thank you for making an amazing tutorial and pattern!
the amount of work put into these videos, explaining every single detail is astounding, tysm! i just finished the setups and the first repeat (so both videos) and i found a very large cake at the dollar store (about 1 kilo of yarn, around 1 km length) and will continue until its finished and hope it will look fine, even tho i cant really control the colours (im a beginner at crocheting and i dont mind a "weird" look, but at least the setup rounds are all the same colour and the first change came halfway through "Round 2")
@BettyMcKnit I have finally finished it after 5 days and am extra nightshift :D I wasn't sure if I'd make the entire 4th repetition with the yarn I had left over so I stopped after round 5 (the first round of DC in every stitch) and slip stitches around and kept the rest of the yarn for a possible bright blue beanie it's in the washing machine right now but I have shared my progress on Twitter and linked your website and RUclips tutorials as well if you are interested in seeing it 😂 it's the first bigger project I finished since I started crocheting 2 months ago 🥳🥳

@@piggykat93 hi! I definitely don’t want anyone to feel dumb, rather give you different options to help learn and create ❤️❤️❤️ reach out if you have any questions
I just want to say thank you for these tutorials! I also purchased your pattern on Etsy but came here for more visual aid and both this video and the setup video are extremely helpful!!! Thank you again!!
I greatly appreciate these videos to go with the blog instructions 🙏🏽 tysm every time I do not understand the blog it’s so great to be able to watch these & the visuals are so helpful.
Thank you for these videos! 💕 Been seeing a lot of them on tiktok and was a lil intimidated to give it a shot as I've never crocheted a blanket, only bags and wearables but my daughter saw some pink yarn I've got in my stash and asked for a blanket! This has been the FASTEST working up I've had on a project in a long while (the first was two raglan sweaters I made for her and myself) this has been one of the easiest patterns and tutorials to follow! Best thing for anyone who gets confused on the written pattern, cross reference with these videos and everything makes sense! 💕 Thank you again 🥰 will be making another for my soon to be here lil one after this one 💕
Also I just got to the end of the video and you mentioned "reverse single crochet" 👀 I've now gotta look that up bc I've never heard of that stitch and I'm incredibly intrigued!
your instructions are so clear and so helpful! Thank you so much for making a video tutorial for this!! I'm on my second round of completing rows 2-7 and I'm so happy with how it's coming along
something in mine got seriously messed up after the video ended, i was ending the row with like 4 spaces left instead of 2 😭 i went back and genuinely can’t find the mistake
Thank you so much for this tutorial, I’ve started mine today and have gotten pretty far, the videos have made it so easy to understand what to do and how the stitches are. Thank you so much 🫶🏻
What is the stitch count on the last single crochet round, and stitch count on the row repeated. I have messed up somewhere and I can’t figure out where
something’s really off in my star, you said at around 37:49 that there should be 10 going down and 10 going up making there be 20, i have 24 and i’m not sure what it did wrong, do you think i can keep going without it being a big problem
I swear i’ve counted every stitch properly, but in round 6, my peaks and valleys are all one or 2 off, i’ve had to redo it twice now. i’ve watched over and over again and in slow motion to make sure i’m starting in the correct stitch but cannot figure it out. maybe sleep will help.
Hi good night When i finished round 7 and start back with round 2 again. Is it 4 clusters skip 2 4 clusters, skip2 4 clusters skip 2 4 clusters , 3dc chain 3 3dc then 3dc skip 2 3dc skip 2 3dc and the 4 clusters, 4 times???
I’m new at crocheting but this videos has actually helped me out a lot and is super easy to understand. I’m five days in I’ve only repeated 2-7 once 😢😅😂
I thought I was doing well right up until the beginning of the first repeat. I can’t seem to get my cluster to land in the middle of the valley I’ve recounted my row of single crochets (redid the whole row too) and it’s still off. It looks like that’s a really common issue. I referred to the online pattern and am still not sure why it’s uneven. I tried going on Facebook but haven’t gotten accepted to any of the groups. Hope someone here can help I don’t want to over work my yarn by unraveling a 3rd time :(
@@alexruiz408 I am literally scrolling through comments trying to find the answer to this 😂 I’m starting my first repeat and have 210 stitches but my dc3tog is falling one stitch to the left
Honestly I had the same issue and knew that without an expert in front of me there wasn’t a way to get there without fudging it a little. I just kind of made it work sometimes only skipping one stitch and now it’s all lined up again without a lot of noticeable wonkiness.
Hi! I have a question, does this rounds have to be repeated through our other dsys, like once we finish do we have to do it again until we have our desired length?
I’m loving these tutorials, it’s really helpful watching you make every stitch with me… but for the life of me I don’t understand out I’m getting 24 stitches for step 7 when I’m supposed to be getting 26, do you have any clue to what i have done wrong? My last round is counted to be the same as yours
thank you so much for this tutorial!!!! its very well written and you teach it so well!!! im finishinf my first day and i made it to the first repeat rounds. hopefully i can make my 6v day deadline. thank you again! ill post pictures when im done.
For the 7th round, I am on my second repeat and my stitch count is off somehow. My 6th round has the correct amount of stitches. How many should I expect for each valley? Does this increase by 6 each round as well? Thank you lots.
Yes it does up by 6 on each side and if you’re counting from peak to peak. Check the join at the round and check that you actually did 5 in the dc round… if all else fails post a photo in my group and we will try to find it for you :)
i've been good so far but for some reason i'm not landing in the middle stitch for the 3 dcs skip 2 pattern, at 4:12 . i don't know why, i even redid my single crochet row and made sure every peak has 4 sc. i'm trying to count the number of stitches she has before starting round 2 with the 2dctogether, and it looks the same as mine...? but i'm not ending up in the middle stitch, i'm ending up in the one after it?! i'm one stitch ahead like i don't land at the 3rd stitch in the peak i land on 4th... i think something with my start is messing up but i'm going insane i think i fixed it by re-assessing where to stitch into to make the 2dctog, and i could have been disregarding the next stitch as a slip and accidentally skipping 3 at the beginning, i dunno that was weird i hope i haven't added any unnecessary stitches we'll see
@@jolarini hi! I’m just seeing this. That’s a really common error so that’s probably it. The other suggestion I wanted to make was make sure you understand which stitch is the middle one. You can use stitch markers as you make those stitches and mark the center one. The top of the stitch is above and to the right of the post of the stitch. We can look at your work in my Facebook group as well and help you out if you want to join there. I hope that helps :)
This is one of the absolute best tutorials I have ever watched! Thank you so much for this pattern! I still have a ways to go on my blanket, but I already love it😊
This is one of the patterns I find very hard . The 5 point star was even harder for me . But also thank you for these tutorials , the only one I can properly follow . I love how you are patient and very thorough and reminds us of what mistakes to watch out for and everything . 🩷
Does anyone know for round 7 how many stitches should there be peak to peak when it comes to repeating or how many it increases by each time because I can't work it out and I dont think she says thank you!
Hello!!! I decided to start crotcheting and this is my very first project!!! Its been going great this whole time but round 6 has me stuck. I managed to get the first 11 stitches fine, but after that no matter how hard i tried and how many times I've restarted, i end up with only 10, and then 9 stitches. I cant find enough of last rounds stitching to make 11 each time. Anyone have any ideas on what im doing wrong?
@@ellariley9488 it would be really hard to know without seeing your work. This is a very difficult project for a brand new crocheter, so take your time and don’t get discouraged if you have to re do some parts. If you’re able to get onto Facebook and join my group there you can post a photo and we will look it over and help you. This isn’t the best place to get help bc there’s no way to post a pic here. ❤️
@BettyMcKnit Thank you so much for the response, I appreciate it a lot! I managed to find a way to make it work, it's been so fun! I'll try to join the group if I can, ty for the suggestion!
I have almost finish mine this is just beautiful . The only thing which has been difficult for me , is to join the finished rounds in the top of the first 3 st , I don’t know how to do that and I’m certainly wrong . Could you please, kind community here , give tips for help 🙌🙌🙌🙏🏻🙏🏻
Someone suggested a stitch marker in the chain :) I also sometimes use the hook part of the hook instead of the tip. I hope that helps :) working into a chain is always a little awkward. ❤️
This is by far the best tutorial ever! Question - how many rounds to make a large blanket - I am on my 3rd round of the repeat rounds 2-7 and I need to finish this by Friday and it is Wednesday for my mommy’s birthday she is going to love it!!!! What does everyone suggest?
Is there please someone with a count of stitches per round (for when you want to repeat). i want to do a second round but becuase i keep making mistakes and I do not know how many stitches to count, i cannot check making me need to go back everytime when i make a mistake Can somebody please help?
Hiya I’m starting my repeat of round 2 and I’m unsure on how to follow, I start with the chain 2 dc2tog and then I can fit in 3 dc in the same space with the skipping of 2 sts every time but it doesn’t line up with my middle sc on my peak - could someone correct me on this?
@@isabelsamson8397 impossible to know what happened without seeing your work - make sure you follow the pattern and count your stitches, if they’re off you have to fix, can’t just keep going and improvise on this one. Post a photo in my Facebook group and we will look it over.
I'm thinking of ending with backpost single. I'm using LB Mandala in Spirit, so I want a heavier edge. Will post a finished picture on my channel. Thank you for the video, it really helps! 😊
Hello. English is not my first language so I apologize if I don't make sense. I have the following question, the 3 doublecrochet bundles go on a stitch or under the stitch and just in the hole? Cause I've been doing on stitches and I think I have to start over....
thanks for the detailed explanation, I was able to understand everything, so I was able to do it, I'm not done yet but ıts already beautiful thanks again
Hello! I can't find the rest of the videos for this blanket. I don't know where they would be 😭but they are not on your page. Are the rest of the tutorials on there?
Thanks so much for this tutorial! Hands down you are one of the best teachers of crochet. I have a hard time following a lot of the tutorials out there and they don't explain things in a way that I understand. Thanks so much! I wish I could snap a pic and show you mine but I am not on FB much or any of the other social media platforms except You Tube. My colors are red, deep purple teal and a light teal. It is going to be just gorgeous!!
@alesyakonoplitskaya7148 I apologize, I forgot to give the repeats. I put them in the description and they are also in the pattern, free on my site www.6daystarblanket.com
This video is all you need, the rounds are the same just work more stitches between the peaks and valleys. I give you the stitch counts in the video and they are also in the pattern. ❤️
Hi betty! Im at round 2 and ive experienced a problem, when i make 3 double crochet and need to skip 2 i dont have enough stitches to skip. So ill make the 3 double together, skip 2, 3dc in the same stitch, but when i skip 2 again im one stitch away from the peak. And ive encountered this problem twice now. Ive unraveled the entire thing and started over again but still the same issue. I dont know what to do 😢.
Hi! First of all, thank you for this great tutorial, i managed to finish my setup round and this one in 1 day, so im crossing my fingers for a 6-day challenge. I wanted to ask about something, even though im in the same row as you are, my project is much little than yours. Nearly as half as yours. Is it a problem, what should i do?
@@idkbrcm you’re probably using a lighter weight yarn, I was using a 5 or 6 weight. You can adjust the size by repeating as many rounds as you want to achieve the size you want. I hope that helps.
I just started crocheting this week so I'm only doing a single crochet patchwork blanket right now but I'm already thinking about what colors I'm gonna use when I make the 6 day star blanket! I really appreciate your detailed tutorial, it makes me feel like I can actually do it when I decide to give it a try.

@@piggykat93 hi! I definitely don’t want anyone to feel dumb, rather give you different options to help learn and create ❤️❤️❤️ reach out if you have any questions
I’ve finished both the tutorials but I’m now scared to keep going without a reference, any suggestions so I don’t mess up? 😅
@EvKnight-v6i there’s a pattern with all the guidance you’ll need.
@@BettyMcKnit I hate to be annoying, maybe I’m js blind, but is there a tutorial carrying on after the repeats 2-7? Because im still lost-
I just want to say thank you for these tutorials! I also purchased your pattern on Etsy but came here for more visual aid and both this video and the setup video are extremely helpful!!! Thank you again!!
@@brianaholliday5214 thank you for your kind works I’m glad to know you found it helpful
I greatly appreciate these videos to go with the blog instructions 🙏🏽 tysm every time I do not understand the blog it’s so great to be able to watch these & the visuals are so helpful.
Thank you for these videos! 💕 Been seeing a lot of them on tiktok and was a lil intimidated to give it a shot as I've never crocheted a blanket, only bags and wearables but my daughter saw some pink yarn I've got in my stash and asked for a blanket! This has been the FASTEST working up I've had on a project in a long while (the first was two raglan sweaters I made for her and myself) this has been one of the easiest patterns and tutorials to follow!
Best thing for anyone who gets confused on the written pattern, cross reference with these videos and everything makes sense! 💕
Thank you again 🥰 will be making another for my soon to be here lil one after this one 💕
Also I just got to the end of the video and you mentioned "reverse single crochet" 👀 I've now gotta look that up bc I've never heard of that stitch and I'm incredibly intrigued!
Thanks for your kind words and congratulations on your new little one. Wishing you the happiest of holidays.
@ I have a video of it somewhere on my page but yes I’m sure there are tons of tutorials for it on RUclips:)
These videos are so helpful to me. I can crochet amigurumi animals and dolls but this is my first afghan.
@@celticdreams4119 I’m happy to hear that!
your instructions are so clear and so helpful! Thank you so much for making a video tutorial for this!! I'm on my second round of completing rows 2-7 and I'm so happy with how it's coming along
@@maddiestokes3405 so you just repeat round 2-7 for the rest of the blanket ?
@@cookingfromscratchinogqskitche yes!
@@maddiestokes3405 thanks so much
something in mine got seriously messed up after the video ended, i was ending the row with like 4 spaces left instead of 2 😭 i went back and genuinely can’t find the mistake
Thank you so much for this tutorial, I’ve started mine today and have gotten pretty far, the videos have made it so easy to understand what to do and how the stitches are. Thank you so much 🫶🏻
@@Kaylie24 you’re so welcome thank you for the nice comment
so excited! about to start day 2!
This is such perfect timing!! I just finished the first part 2 hours ago
What is the stitch count on the last single crochet round, and stitch count on the row repeated. I have messed up somewhere and I can’t figure out where
I should be done with my blanket tomorrow I think it took me 4 days and it was my first project I’m so happy with how it looks rn
@@Box12209 wow! First project, four days! Amazing!!
something’s really off in my star, you said at around 37:49 that there should be 10 going down and 10 going up making there be 20, i have 24 and i’m not sure what it did wrong, do you think i can keep going without it being a big problem
it’s also not laying flat, it’s rippley
Currently working on this as my very first blanket, so easy to follow thank you so much !
I never comment on videos but this is one of the best tutorials I’ve ever seen
@Julianeoglilo thank you so much!
I swear i’ve counted every stitch properly, but in round 6, my peaks and valleys are all one or 2 off, i’ve had to redo it twice now. i’ve watched over and over again and in slow motion to make sure i’m starting in the correct stitch but cannot figure it out. maybe sleep will help.
Hi good night
When i finished round 7 and start back with round 2 again. Is it 4 clusters skip 2 4 clusters, skip2 4 clusters skip 2 4 clusters , 3dc chain 3 3dc then 3dc skip 2 3dc skip 2 3dc and the 4 clusters, 4 times???
@@melia7772 im wondering the same right now? Did you figure it out?

@@breannamolinar2523 fr same. I had to re start bc apparently I got something wrong. I'm extremely confused and don't understand what I did wrong
Hi can someone help? How many stitched will round 7 increase by please i think I've missed that
@@emmajones3319 I forgot to give the stitch counts - they are in the pattern and in the description of this video.
I thought I was doing well right up until the beginning of the first repeat. I can’t seem to get my cluster to land in the middle of the valley I’ve recounted my row of single crochets (redid the whole row too) and it’s still off. It looks like that’s a really common issue. I referred to the online pattern and am still not sure why it’s uneven. I tried going on Facebook but haven’t gotten accepted to any of the groups. Hope someone here can help I don’t want to over work my yarn by unraveling a 3rd time :(
@@alexruiz408 I am literally scrolling through comments trying to find the answer to this 😂 I’m starting my first repeat and have 210 stitches but my dc3tog is falling one stitch to the left
Surely you’ve noticed then the number of times I’ve commented that I would only be guessing without seeing it.
Honestly I had the same issue and knew that without an expert in front of me there wasn’t a way to get there without fudging it a little. I just kind of made it work sometimes only skipping one stitch and now it’s all lined up again without a lot of noticeable wonkiness.
Thank you for an amazing tutorial. This was so helpful when I got stuck with the written pattern. I'm well on my way to crocheting my 1st blanket!🎉🎉🎉
@@samorawray5484 that’s great :) I’m happy you found it helpful!
How many single crochets will round 7 increase by each time? Thanks
@@DaisyJones-l2t Hi! Did you ever find out how many round 7 increases by? Thanks!
You can check the pattern for that information :)
Hi! I have a question, does this rounds have to be repeated through our other dsys, like once we finish do we have to do it again until we have our desired length?
@@aitormator repeat rounds 2-7 to reach the desired size
Will you please show how your work in the loose ends?
@@amandaweyers9938 sure :) I have done it before but I can’t remember which video it was.
Just started my blanket, and I want to thank you for the fab video, and the clear and patient instructions :D
@@kimbelle we started at the same time !
I’m loving these tutorials, it’s really helpful watching you make every stitch with me… but for the life of me I don’t understand out I’m getting 24 stitches for step 7 when I’m supposed to be getting 26, do you have any clue to what i have done wrong? My last round is counted to be the same as yours
Thank you! This blanket was so much fun. I really appreciate your tutorial and the "hacks" to making it come out (almost) perfect!!
thank you so much for this tutorial!!!! its very well written and you teach it so well!!! im finishinf my first day and i made it to the first repeat rounds. hopefully i can make my 6v day deadline. thank you again! ill post pictures when im done.
For the 7th round, I am on my second repeat and my stitch count is off somehow. My 6th round has the correct amount of stitches. How many should I expect for each valley? Does this increase by 6 each round as well? Thank you lots.
Yes it does up by 6 on each side and if you’re counting from peak to peak. Check the join at the round and check that you actually did 5 in the dc round… if all else fails post a photo in my group and we will try to find it for you :)
proud to say I actually completed this in 6 days 😌
❤️❤️❤️
For round 5 do we double crochet in each stitch?
After round 7, I don’t know how to continue 😢
Repeat rounds 2-7 to desired size, be sure to read through the pattern as well
I’m well on my way to having a finished blanket - thank you so much, Betty. I couldn’t have done it without your teaching!
Wonderful I hope you tag me when you post it ❤️
@@pam3744 hey how do you make the blanket bigger after round 7? I tried redoing round 2-7 but my row came out very "curly" if you know what I mean
i've been good so far but for some reason i'm not landing in the middle stitch for the 3 dcs skip 2 pattern, at 4:12 . i don't know why, i even redid my single crochet row and made sure every peak has 4 sc. i'm trying to count the number of stitches she has before starting round 2 with the 2dctogether, and it looks the same as mine...? but i'm not ending up in the middle stitch, i'm ending up in the one after it?! i'm one stitch ahead like i don't land at the 3rd stitch in the peak i land on 4th... i think something with my start is messing up but i'm going insane
i think i fixed it by re-assessing where to stitch into to make the 2dctog, and i could have been disregarding the next stitch as a slip and accidentally skipping 3 at the beginning, i dunno that was weird i hope i haven't added any unnecessary stitches we'll see
@@jolarini hi! I’m just seeing this. That’s a really common error so that’s probably it. The other suggestion I wanted to make was make sure you understand which stitch is the middle one. You can use stitch markers as you make those stitches and mark the center one. The top of the stitch is above and to the right of the post of the stitch.
We can look at your work in my Facebook group as well and help you out if you want to join there. I hope that helps :)
love this pattern! im working on mine and this is my first time reading a pattern, the videos are helping so much❤!

Hello!!! I decided to start crotcheting and this is my very first project!!! Its been going great this whole time but round 6 has me stuck. I managed to get the first 11 stitches fine, but after that no matter how hard i tried and how many times I've restarted, i end up with only 10, and then 9 stitches. I cant find enough of last rounds stitching to make 11 each time. Anyone have any ideas on what im doing wrong?
