PopStar Blanket by Melu Crochet

Get ready to fall in love with the PopStar blanket! This beauty is crafted using simple stitches that come together in a mesmerising five-pointed star shape, around lovely bobbles.

The PopStar Blanket is available now from my Hobbii Plus shop in English (US/UK), and German
And also in English UK/US terminology in my Etsy shop, LoveCrafts shop, Ravelry and Payhip

It’s not just any blanket—it’s big enough to be a cosy receiving blanket for babies, making it an ideal and unique gift for baby showers. It’s also perfect for snuggling up on your favourite sofa or dressing up your bed.

To add a burst of colour, I’ve included two rainbow colour schemes for you to choose from. There’s a charming pastel palette and a bold and vibrant option. But don’t worry if those don’t match your room decor, you can easily create your own custom colour combination.

The pattern comes complete with photo tutorial instructions on how to create the bobbles, making it an enjoyable and rewarding project for all skill levels.

Ricci @itsawillisfullife has made this brilliant Americana version for her 4th of July Celebrations! She used Hobby Lobby’s “I Love This Yarn” for the blue and white, and the red was “Loops & Threads”

This was such a fun easy one to make

Helen @helenm_thompson has used left over yarns mostly – she says this was ‘a perfect use up pattern’.

I loved this pattern! It’s definitely very beginner friendly, it’s almost rhythmic! I found unlike some patterns – I was able to crochet this one while watching TV or supervising the kids. It worked up really quickly, and it’s absolutely stunning!
