Starlet is a great baby blanket. The star shape is fun and modern and it can be easily wrapped around a baby on a stroller or as a bed spread. The texture of the Bobble stitches add an extra stimulus for the baby and makes it extra soft and beautiful. It’s a beginner level blanket that can be made with any yarn or hook and as big or small as you want it. The pattern includes picture and written instructions as well as a chart to follow.
