This is BEAUTIFUL and it looks so easy! Thank you! My mother just moved into a Retirement Home and I think I’ll use this pattern for some lap blankets for all her new friends! Bless you ♥️💐🙏🏻
Thank you for this video. Friends and I are making lap blankets for Veterans. This is perfect! I love the way you explain and show how to do this pattern.
You are so welcome! This is such a perfect lap blanket for Veterans! Thank you so much for your sweet comment and serving our Veterans in such a special way! 🇺🇸💙
Totally love this pattern. I like that it begins with the popcorn stitch in the center. Had the wrong stitch count because I didn’t realize that you cut/ finish off each color change, and begin a new color and join in a star point. This is the perfect pattern I was looking for to make a very special Star in my life. Thank you for sharing 💕
Thank you! I’m sure you’ll do a great job! If you have may questions, please feel free to email me at sparklyone60@gmail.com. I’m always here to help 🥰🇺🇸🧶
I have had alot of problems with learning how to crochet a star in this pattern. Can do granny style ones but not this type . You have been the only one that i understand. Always have trouble with counting how many on each row. You count as 5 7 9 an 11 so on . But i always count mind as 5 6 7 8 9. Does not work couldn't understand what i was doing wrong . But Thanks To You I am now being able to crochet the star the right way . Enjoy crocheting. Thank You So Very Much . 😊 ❤❤
Hi Rhonda Happy 4th. I've recently started my crochet channel. I've been following you a while. I've made quite a few of your Prayer Shawl. Can't wait to make this blanket. Love it ❤
Thank you so much! It was nice and peaceful at home and I crocheted this blanket. I'm almost finished with it. Can't wait to share it with everyone soon. I'll be making a crochet update video in the next few weeks. Hope you had a great 4th of July, as well! 🇺🇸💙
Hi Ronda would you be able to make a video on a crochet head band to keep your head warm or to keep hair out your face when applying make up or skin care x
Hiya Sparkly One 🦄 I'm in UK 🏴. Beautiful work I'm loving it for the car for the baby. Can u let me know how many yards/grams for the 3 & 4 foot dimensions please? Hope pandemic regs are eading for you & yours, take good care, unusual crazy times. We can now travel outside Wales into rest of UK but can't leave the island❣
Hi Gloria! Each skein in my video has 744 yds/396 grams in it. I think I used 6 total skeins to make a 5 foot blanket, but you should buy a few extra just in case! It is really so beautiful! I gave mine away as a gift, so I can't really remember how many I used....sorry about that. It's better to have left over yarn for other projects, right?? Haha!! Happy crocheting! Send me a photo if you can, I'd love to see it! sparklyone60@gmail.com
I love this blanket! So many military people in my family and my husband was a veteran as well, I am definitely a patriotic person! How many rows did you or will you make yours? Beautiful! Thank you!
That makes me so happy Robin! Thank you to everyone of your family members who have served our country 💙🇺🇸🙏🏻 I’m thinking of making it 3 or 4 feet in diameter. I’ll keep you posted, hopefully finishing it tomorrow 😍🙌🏻🧶 Happy crocheting
I love this blanket so much! I just recently started crocheting so this may be a stupid question but how do you wash this blanket and is there an issue with the red bleeding into the white?
It depends on the yarn you buy. Make sure it’s machine washable and dry able. Acrylic will probably be your best bet. The colors are so beautiful and don’t run. Keep me posted if you decide to make it 💖🥰🧶
I absolutely love this blanket. I am making one for my grandson at the moment. But while I'm making it its like its twirling, it's hard to lay it straight down. I have to keep pushing it all the way around for it to lay flat a little. Can you help? Want to send you a picture of it so you can see what I'm talking about but I don't know how
Hi, I have had the same problem too despite all my stitches being correct. I watched another you tube video on this blanket and every 3rd row only had 2 X2 double crockets in the points (corners) to avoid the curling and it works. Good luck
Hi Char! Thank you so much for your prayers! We are about 2 1/2 hours away from the epicenter. I’m just outside of Los Angeles, so we definitely felt both earthquakes. Hopefully, we won’t get anymore big ones 🙌🏻😁
I'm very new to crochet and REALLY struggling with this pattern, ive got my first attempt which I frogged because it was curling at the ends, it had loads of ripples in it and the star was twisted. I made a second attempt which was going so great, but as its gotten bigger it seems like there are folds in the star and it will not lay flat. I can manipulate most of it to lay flat but then the folds pop up elsewhere. I'm losing the will to crochet at this point 😂 I've counted EVERY single stich, even using stitch markers and with my second attempt I've even been taking notes and counting after every section that I'm on track. I can not for the life of me figure out where I've gone wrong this time ... HELP 😂
Just an fyi your Susan Bates hook you are using is now worth a small fortune. Made in the USA not Mexico they are now considered rare and vintage. Hang on to it!!!!
Oh wow! I had no idea! I’ve had it since I was a teen, I think. I never even thought they would be worth anything. I’ve also inherited some from my mom and her sister. Who knew! Thanks for letting me know. I’ll tell my kids to sell them when I die 😂👏🏻
I absolutely love your instructions!
Thank you Delia 🥰 Let me know how it turns out 🙌🏻😃🧶
Beautiful. Love the Star made with the popcorns. 😅
So glad you like it! Let me know how it turns out ❤️🤍💙🥰
I just love this star blanket and the colors. Thank you! 💕🕇

Aw, I’ll be praying for them. My son and husband are both cancer survivors 🥰🙏🏻🎗 What a perfect gift!
Sparkly One I just thought it was cheery & colorful. It will also make him smile due to our political differences!!
This is so easy, i m going to make one in black and white ..love this video
That will look amazing! Send me a photo if you can, I would love to see it! Happy crocheting! 💖😊

Luuuv this!
Thank you Diana! Happy crocheting! 💖
This is very beautiful! I’m making a similar one right now, but it turns into a tote. 🥰
Thank you Piper! A tote is such a great idea! Thanks for stopping by! 😘💖
lovee itttt
Very nice! Hope you had a great 4th of July 🌞

I did! Had my granddaughter the whole week. She kept me on my toes! Lol. Can't wait to see the blanket 💜
Is there a written pattern?
Hi Ronda would you be able to make a video on a crochet head band to keep your head warm or to keep hair out your face when applying make up or skin care x
Do you need to rotate/ flip at any point to stop it curling like a granny square blanket ?
No, it will lay flat. At least mine did. You can either slip stitch or single crochet around the blanket, if needed.
I did it!! Used mandala sparkle yarn in Aquila, is there a place I can post a pic for you ?
That’s so fun! Email me at sparklyone60@gmail.com I would love to see it 💖😍

Would this be appropriate for a service person, as a lap throw
I gave it to a friend of mine who is the wife of a police officer and they loved it 🇺🇸❤
@@SparklyOne thanks!
Really LOVE This. Curious your choice of a G hook ?
Actually I really love the H hook, that’s my fav 😍
@@SparklyOne I'm doing one now with H hook, H and I are my faves! I just love this pattern and you are easy to follow, glad I found you. 😊
I'm glad you found me, too! Have a lovely day! 💖
I love this blanket! So many military people in my family and my husband was a veteran as well, I am definitely a patriotic person! How many rows did you or will you make yours? Beautiful! Thank you!

Thumbs up
Thanks Carol 😁 I’m working on mine as I write this. Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸😍
Is there a written pattern? GREAT PATTERN
I'm so sorry Karen...I don't have a written pattern. Hope you were able to memorize it though.
I absolutely love this blanket. I am making one for my grandson at the moment. But while I'm making it its like its twirling, it's hard to lay it straight down. I have to keep pushing it all the way around for it to lay flat a little. Can you help? Want to send you a picture of it so you can see what I'm talking about but I don't know how
Hi Karen! You might have too many stitches somewhere. Please send me a photo sparklyone60@gmail.com. I’ll see if I can figure it out 😘🙌🏻
Hi, I have had the same problem too despite all my stitches being correct. I watched another you tube video on this blanket and every 3rd row only had 2 X2 double crockets in the points (corners) to avoid the curling and it works. Good luck
I JUST LOVE IT😍😍😍😍💖💖💖🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉GOD BLESS AMERICA

@@SparklyOne THANK YOU same to you and your family. HAPPY 4TH OF JULY🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😍😍😍😍💖💖💖💖🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💖💖💖
How do you end it?
You’ll know when you think it’s the size you want.
So you have a written patter?
I’m so sorry, I don’t have one. I hope you are enjoying making it 🥰🧶
Is there a video for left handed crocheters?
I’m so sorry, I don’t. I wish I could help 🥰
Thanks for the tutorial. I'm going to start making one. Would you happened to have a simple tutorial for the American flag?.
Hi Stella! I don’t have a tutorial for an American flag. I would love to make one though. Are you wanting a blanket or maybe a pillow? 🇺🇸😀
Im not sure where in California you are, been praying for you to be safe ❤
Hi Char! Thank you so much for your prayers! We are about 2 1/2 hours away from the epicenter. I’m just outside of Los Angeles, so we definitely felt both earthquakes. Hopefully, we won’t get anymore big ones 🙌🏻😁
@@SparklyOne be safe 🙏
Thank you! God bless! 🙏😍

I’m so sorry to hear you’re having a hard time. Try using a smaller hook. I think that will help a lot. Keep me posted 🥰🧶
What is the size?
Hi Ellen, the size will be whatever you want to make it. You just keep increasing every row until the desired size. Hope that helps 😃
Just an fyi your Susan Bates hook you are using is now worth a small fortune. Made in the USA not Mexico they are now considered rare and vintage. Hang on to it!!!!
Oh wow! I had no idea! I’ve had it since I was a teen, I think. I never even thought they would be worth anything. I’ve also inherited some from my mom and her sister. Who knew! Thanks for letting me know. I’ll tell my kids to sell them when I die 😂👏🏻
This is absolutely gorgeous, can't wait to make one☺⭐🎆
Yay!! I just finished mine last night! It’s so cool! Happy crocheting 🧶 🙌🏻😁💖
