My favorite lovey to crochet is the 6 point star. This pattern is hard to find so I had to make my own! I have made several loveys using this pattern but if you come across any errors, please contact me so I can correct it! Bunny head & arms is a different Bunny head Pattern. I’ve also used other heads for this cute lovey. Feel free to share your completed projects with me π Here are a few projects that I’ve completed with my new pattern π

What is the measurement of the blanket?
LikeLike
Lesa, it depends on how many rows you decide to crochet. For example, I just made one with 13 rows & it measures 23 inches from center to outer tips.

Are you counting the Ch 3 as a DC st? That could throw your count off.

I am having the same struggle. I have 24 DC after round 2 (including ch 3) but after completing round 3 I have five points to the star. Are all the 3DC worked into the same stitch, with a ch 3 in the middle perhaps?

3 DC, Ch 3, 3 DC are all in one stitch!

I was confused at first too; the 3DC ch3 and 3DC are all in the same stitch. If you do that, youβll end up with 6 points!

Would it be alright to use your pattern for the 6 point star and attach my own heads to sell? I will give credit to you for the Star pattern.
