Afghan Schematics are for those who already have some experience in crochet.
The Star Afghans were all made using a Basic Round Ripple afghan pattern.
The variations of each afghan is listed in the "Afghan Schematics"
found on the individual photo page of each afghan.
This post show the photos and lists the materials used for this afghan and
also a description or "Schematic" of how it was created.
If you are new to this style afghan please read my page
Tips and Tricks of the Round Ripple Afghan.
The basic Round Ripple Afghan pattern
Written in American terminology
This was a Stash-Buster
I used Red Heart Super Saver as I like a sturdy yarn for heavy duty items like afghans that require regular trips to the washer and dryer. I do not have the exact measurements but point to point it is the width of a standard double bed.
Materials:
Susan Bates U.S. Size I - 9 aluminum hook
Four 7 ounce skeins, colors of your choice.
I used Off White, Honeydew, Purple, and Lavender and I had about 1 skein each. Maybe a bit more on the Off White and a bit less on the Purple. I love the no dye lot yarns and I buy my basic colors like, White, Brown, Black and Aran in the Red Heart Jumbo skeins so I will always have some on hand, because I know it will always be used.

If you would like a wider border work several rounds of basic “V” stitches and add the “V”st with Picot” on the final round.
