Starghan
I made a Starghan from this pattern at Crochet Diva.
Ahh for some reason this pattern too forever to figure out, the counts seemed to be a bit off for me. Remember *AFTER YOU JOIN AT THE END OF EACH ROW, SL ST ON THE NEXT ST.* That was the only way I could get the pattern to work. I dont know if that was in the directions and I just didin't get it, but it took me awhile to figure that out. After the sl st, ch3 then continue on down the row. Once I got that part down, the rest was cake. I just made sure each new row had 2 more stitches, so my last row was 48 dc, and I did an edging of 50 sc.
If I really wanted a nice blanket that would last awhile, I probably would do another skein....2 skeins really only makes a newborn/young toddler size.
The yarn was a bit annoying as it was easy to catch the hook on the white swirls in it...and the blue was a lot thicker then the green parts, but I liked that...it gave the Starghan a bit more texture.
All and all I LOVE this pattern, and I definitely would make more. You dont need to carry the pattern around with you once you understand the basics so it was easy for me to take this to work. Next time I am going to try for different colors (not a colorway) :)
