The first video is here ua-cam.com/video/XhPSXvp3Dqk/v-deo.htmlsi=9bw1C8OxXmXtgc2Q
it's so exciting seeing these videos being re-upped! I made my first star blanket with the old videos, and I'm now almost done with my second and don't need to reference the videos anymore. This pattern is my favorite and I think I'll always keep coming back to it because it's so intuitive. Thank you for this, Betty!
Thanks! It’s important to me that crocheters enjoy the process and I hate to see frustration. I’m working my way through my whole library as I work on new designs, that is why I haven’t released anything lately. Thanks for your kind words!
Because there isn’t time stamps
Round 6: 1:00:35
Round 7: 1:16:57
tysm!
you’re amazing thank you
Mine had time stamps 😊
If you hold down the red dot on the timeline, it shows you what row it is
I love that there’s a video for the written pattern. Once I got to this part of the pattern I was a tad confused but the video helped so much and I was right back on my feet!!! 😊
I’m a beginner, (only made a couple of market bags and a mesh top) and I’m at round 5 with no issues! Yay! Thank you Betty!
These videos are so helpful to me. I can crochet amigurumi animals and dolls but this is my first afghan.
@@celticdreams4119 I’m happy to hear that!
I have the wrong amount of stitches somehow but I just keep going with the pattern and it hasn’t backfired 😅 so I’m just going to keep going 🤷♀️
I greatly appreciate these videos to go with the blog instructions 🙏🏽 tysm every time I do not understand the blog it’s so great to be able to watch these & the visuals are so helpful.
love this pattern! im working on mine and this is my first time reading a pattern, the videos are helping so much❤!
This is such perfect timing!! I just finished the first part 2 hours ago
Thanks so much for this tutorial! Hands down you are one of the best teachers of crochet. I have a hard time following a lot of the tutorials out there and they don't explain things in a way that I understand. Thanks so much! I wish I could snap a pic and show you mine but I am not on FB much or any of the other social media platforms except You Tube. My colors are red, deep purple teal and a light teal. It is going to be just gorgeous!!
Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m so happy you find the tutorial helpful and thanks for sharing your blanket with me. :)
@@BettyMcKnit You're so very welcome. I can't wait to make more of your other blankets. I think I will do the Superstar next ❤🥰
@@mailonez1 I was thinking about doing that next too :)
This is one of the absolute best tutorials I have ever watched! Thank you so much for this pattern! I still have a ways to go on my blanket, but I already love it😊
I’m so happy you’ve found it helpful :)
I just love your patterns and tutorials! Thank you so much!
Thanks for your kind words, appreciate!
This is so helpful! Thank you so much ❤
Thank you from Spain!!! I really appreciate these videos ❤❤❤🌷🌷🌷
You're so welcome
I’m well on my way to having a finished blanket - thank you so much, Betty. I couldn’t have done it without your teaching!
Wonderful I hope you tag me when you post it ❤️
Hiya im doing my second reapeat for row 7 does the sc go up by 12 from peak to peak
Even with having to translate to UK terminology in my head, this is so easy to follow!
We love you Betty 🙌
Awww I love you too ❤️❤️❤️ you’re all stars to me
I'm thinking of ending with backpost single. I'm using LB Mandala in Spirit, so I want a heavier edge. Will post a finished picture on my channel. Thank you for the video, it really helps! 😊
I look forward to seeing it
I been crocheting for 40 years, I’ve never had a problem with tying knots.
Do you keep everything you make that you tied a knot into?
Hello from Florida 🌻💖🌞
Hi :)
what is the st count for the end of each dc non cluster rounds?
ty
In round 4, I find when I do 10 dc (including the chain 3 to start) I end up being 1 short when I get to the first peak to be able to dc into the centre sc, am I meant to miss one there or have I gone wrong?
Did you remember to sl st first? Did you work extra sc into the sl st or ch 1?
Hey betty! I love this patern so much ❤ but my question is. When you did the first row 2-7 can you still switch to the super nova patern? Or can you only work on the super nova after the startup rounds?
You can still switch ❤️ follow the pattern there’s a lot of switching up on the Supernova.
im struggling on how many 3 dc in a stitch i should do for the second round for the second time so when i repeat these rounds for the first time
I give the multiples at the end of the round in the video - it goes up by 2 each time.
Hello! I was wondering if after i finish rounds 2-7 do i just keep repeating 2-7 until the 6 days are done or do i start from 1-9 again
@@marsgaming3386 have you read the pattern and are you following the video? Make sure you read the pattern as there is important information there to help you. Repeat 2-7 and don’t repeat the set up rounds.
For the 7th round, I am on my second repeat and my stitch count is off somehow. My 6th round has the correct amount of stitches. How many should I expect for each valley? Does this increase by 6 each round as well? Thank you lots.
Yes it does up by 6 on each side and if you’re counting from peak to peak. Check the join at the round and check that you actually did 5 in the dc round… if all else fails post a photo in my group and we will try to find it for you :)
Hi! Im on my second repeat for the 7th round and im not sure when in the video u said how many stitches we are supposed to have from peak to peak. Please help!
1:25:29 I may have given the multiples in the first video I don’t remember. Lemme check ;)
Hi curious if your pdf pattern has a stitch count included in it? I find it helpful to know which rows should be ending with which amount of stitches. Been finding some troubles and having to frog a bunch because something is going wrong after row 4 of the repeat. Trying to join the FB group but haven't been accepted yet. TY for the amazing patterns though!!
@@Dingy-uz1yy I believe the stitch counts are included on website and pdf - both versions are the same.
@@BettyMcKnit Ah okay so we're supposed to have 10 single crochet (from round 4) on each side between the mountains then? And then the next time its 16, 22 etc Okay that makes sense now I think I went with 22 single crochet because originally I thought we had to have one of those numbers for the pattern to work. I'm silly lol
Thank you!!
My only problem is I'm confused on why there's 4 sc in the peak on the last round. When I start doing the repeat round, I end up needing to skip an extra stitch in between 3dc and the 3dc chain 3 and 3dc on the peak. Please help
You may be adding or skipping a stitch somewhere else, I would have to see a photo to know for sure, but 4 in the peak is correct, it does not work with 3.
Never mind, I think I got it, I forgot to do the second ss and started doing the round pattern wrong. Got ahead of myself and was trying to do multiple cluster stitches on the first repeat of round 2.
@@archarytryon8768Could you elaborate? I'm having the exact same problem as you are, but I don't understand which stitch you skipped that caused the problem
Follow the pattern and the tutorial or post a photo in my group and we will take a look. I don’t think that the other commenter has the answer.
Hello! I was wondering how many repeats u usually did for your blankets? I want a good sized one but I’m not sure how many times I should repeat. Thank u! :)
@@gracenelson7850 it depends on what size blanket you want and how heavy the yarn is that you are using.
I have a question so on my repeated round 8 when I came across the slip stich that ended my repeated round 2 there was 8 spaces instead of 9 like the rest of the row is that supposed to be like that or did I do something wrong
Let me know if I confused u
You did, idk what you mean by spaces, and you shouldn’t be repeating setup round 8.
So when you repeat round 3, you do the 3dc in 4 spaces on each side right??
Hi! After completing rounds 1-9, can I repeat only 2 or only 4 instead of 2-7? Will my blanket come out??
@@kasia5716 no, it doesn’t work
Hello thank u for the video but Im trying to find the part u said which round we repeat.
My question: which round do we repeat?😭
2-7
This is one of the patterns I find very hard . The 5 point star was even harder for me . But also thank you for these tutorials , the only one I can properly follow . I love how you are patient and very thorough and reminds us of what mistakes to watch out for and everything . 🩷
Thanks for your kind words
I completed 7 rows now to repeat round 2 I ended up with 3 3 3 in peak then 3 lots 3 then 2 3 together then4 lots 3 then peak then3 lots 3 2 3 together etc why am I getting 4 on on some 3 on other any help appreciated thanks
@@KarenCurtis-y7d I’m not sure probably a mistake at the join or a miscount early on
thank you for the pt 2 🫶🏻
Heyy ! I have a question. I’m on round 8 using round 2 pattern and I’m confused . But from the pattern , it stopped at rt there .. after I was done with round 7. But from the video for round 2, starts at by the peak of it . That’s the part I got confused at
@@Bubblylayaaa ??
@@BettyMcKnit can I email you the picture instead ?
Bettymcknit@gmail.com or you can join my FB group if you have FB www.6daycrochetgroup.com
hi im confused on setup round 9 round 5 would you be able to explain it to me?
@@Shoshana23 I don’t think I can explain any more than I already have in the video and the pattern. If you have a specific question I can try to answer it or feel free to join and post in my FB group.
Hey,
hope you are all having a lovely day or night xx
To any crochets out there, I have started making this blanket but I have found that the blanket is curling in on itself, when it is stretched out it is fine though. I was just wondering it this is due to it needing to be blocked or if I have made a mistake xx
any advice is greatly appreciated xx
You should not be experiencing curling at this stage. Make sure your stitch counts are correct and if they are consider changing to a .5mm larger hook.
My count is off and i have no idea why
Hello I’m worrying on this blanket now but I was confused on what to do after we finished round 7? Like the repeat round 2 is a bit confusing to me
Please follow the pattern and the video I explain it there, if that doesn’t make sense then post a photo in my FB group with your question and we will help you out.
@@BettyMcKnit ok thank you
What size hook are you using??
I think it’s a 9 mm I don’t remember but I believe I give that info in the beginning of the video
When’s the rest of the tutorial coming?❤
@@Molly-ue6ej you should be able to complete with this, I’ve given all the repeats
hi!! Question: I started my repeat of these rounds but I found that in round 2, the crochet together’s weren’t falling in the centre valley stitch :( I tried to work around it because I wasn’t sure but now I’m looking back and realizing that from valley to valley I had 3 3dc with the skip 2 on one side of the mountain while the other side had 4😭 I began to suspect that I wasn’t even doing the correct round because it had been a while since I worked on it but I’m really not sure. Any idea?
When something in this pattern isn’t working it’s usually bc there was a mistake, and I think I say in the video, don’t just keep going or “work around it” as you say. There is no way to fix it now without re doing it so it’s up to you if you rip it out or live with it.
I’m having troubles with the same exact thing and have no clue where I went wrong 😭. I didn’t keep going I stopped but I’m not sure what happened.
@@briannewells4029 I would only be guessing how to help without more information or seeing a photo
@@BettyMcKnit I actually asked the Facebook group and someone on there helped me! It was a silly mistake lol but thank you!
@@briannewells4029 I’m glad! I can’t tell who is who over here lol
Is there a free written pattern please
@@KarenCurtis-y7d yes the link is in the description
round 6 1:00:22
Round 7 1:16:58
Thank you! I think I got distracted when I uploaded this!
thank you! i am so glad you actually did it :D i will definitely finish it soon 🫶
Took me a minute but I wanted to get it right for you all!
Where’s the next video ? I’m not sure if I’m supposed to follow the pattern or if there are any other videos I can follow. I was wondering if I needed to follow the supernova blanket tutorial or what, sorry about this question is kinda dumb haha 🥲❕Anyways tysm for this tutorials because I’ve been able to start this project and is looking really good ☺️!
This isn’t the supernova it’s the regular star, there isn’t a next video you should be able to continue the star from here, I gave all the repeats in the video and pattern. It repeats 2-7 as long as you want and I give you all the stitch count repeats. I hope that helps :)
I’m happy to hear your blanket is turning out nicely :) please tag me when you post so I can see your work
@@BettyMcKnit omg tysm!! I found out while reading the pattern, sorry about that, and thank you so much again !! 💗❕
@@dehilobymia no worries that’s what I’m here for :)
Hi! Quick question. Why an even number on the peak of round 7? (4 sc) In my decades of crochet, I've never seen this. It's always an odd number so you can increase evenly in the middle stitch or, if even number, add unto the space. The math seems wrong, but it's working!🤔🤪🧶
@@rhondalea4450 it makes the math work out, and it helps keep the work from leaning to the right which it still will do if you keep going far enough.
@BettyMcKnit Ahhh! I thought it might be a "leaning" issue. Thank you for the quick response. 👍
@@rhondalea4450 you can also turn the work when you change colors if you want :)
Hi, I was starting my 1st repeat round for row 4 and i only ended up with 19 going up . How can I fix the stitch count?
I would suggest going back and finding the mistake in order to fix it.
Can you tell me what rounds have you been repeating 😭🙏
