Candy Dot Star Blanket by Melu Crochet

Introducing my delightful new Candy Dot Star crochet blanket pattern! It’s designed with beginners in mind, featuring easy-to-master single crochet (sc), double crochet (dc), and adorable bobble stitches, all worked in the round.

I’ve carefully crafted this pattern to make it easy for you to keep track of your stitches and anticipate the next step, to give a sense of satisfaction and confidence to your crochet work, no matter your skill level.

Plus, the Candy Dot Star pattern includes detailed photos and tutorials to guide you through crafting those charming bobbles, as well as ensuring you’ve got the stitch placement just right in the early rounds.

Just like my other patterns, this one has that special rhythmic touch that simplifies the whole process. You’ll always know what’s coming next, effortlessly maintaining your crocheting flow. My testers found starting and following this pattern to be a truly cozy, delightful experience, filled with the joy of creating something very beautiful.

Ricci @itsawillisfullife has crafted this lovely version using “I Love This Yarn” from Hobby Lobby for everything except the black, for which she used Red Heart Super Saver

Loved this pattern! It was so Easy to get it started and follow. I loved watching it grow and keep me cozy while I worked on it.

It’s super simple in that you can keep track of your counts and predict what comes next.

Helen @helenm_thompson has used Marvel 8ply acrylic for this pattern, so good to see her gorgeous boy growing up 🙂

The stitch description and explanation was really good. So clear and easy to understand. I love that you include pictures too. It makes it so easy to interpret correctly.

This pattern is really lovely to follow. I love how all your patterns have a bit of a rhythm to them. It makes them so easy to follow. You kind of know what’s coming next. This pattern was no different.

It’s an awesome size too! Small enough to gift for a child but large enough that you could use as a lap blanket.

I made a lovely Sunbird version of this for my #HobbiiShadesOfBlackFriday challenge! Did you spot sleepy Ernie?! So pleased with how this one has come out, I keep taking pics 😁

It’s going to be a baby blanket for our friend’s new little one who is still cooking. Can’t wait to meet them 😍
