Star Chart

Crochet Star Chart, a galaxy of crochet STAR possibilities.

One crochet pattern with so many possibilities for crochet stars, starting with different sizes, different shapes to choose from, and endless possible uses for this 12 in 1 Crochet Star Chart Pattern. 

Named for the fact that the pattern gives you a basic size chart for 12+ star patterns, to use for countless things. The pattern is charted with a general sizes for various hook sizes, for each different star shape, and a multitude of sizes for basic star. Chart graphs hook sizes from F, and some H, I, & K hooks, all using worsted weight yarn. 

Crochet Star Chart Pattern comes with a pictorial for basic small star, along with a picture of each star with its written pattern. Written in US crochet terms.

Use crochet STARS for Christmas ornaments, gift tags, garland, coasters, earrings, and so much more!

Choose from the Basic Star in many sizes and slightly different shapes, Happy Star :) in 2 sizes, Blanket Star also in multiple sizes and slightly different shapes, 8 Point Sun Star, or 8 Point Starburst with variations. The skies the limit ✰

The theme is 'Galaxy Star, Star Chart' but all stars could be multipurpose, made in a variety of colors, for Christmas STARS, to make Christmas ornaments, or for patches, for clothing and bags, year round. Add Patriotic stars to crochet flags, and so much more. Stars are always in Season.

The story behind the Star Chart...

One day my daughter says to me, "A Star Patch would be awesome, Mom.", and I think that is a fantastic idea! A few weeks later, she sadly tore her favorite pj pants, so I say to her, "A Star Patch would fix that right up. 😁", and my sweet girl loves the idea.

One would presume that having made an uncountable number of crochet stars, at least 2K, over years, and making patterns for stars, that I have to have some idea by now of how to make a star. 😅   Since my daughter absolutely loves stars,  I wanted this star to be the perfect star for her, but I wasn't sure which one to make.   And that is the moment the Star Chart was born.  Pick a star, any star. So many to choose from.

Using what I could dig up, I painted the back drop that night, and it also became the night that I finally found myself painting something. (yay!😅)  The Celestial theme carries throughout this pattern, 🌠 for Liz 💜

What a starry eyed journey it has been, very out of this world.

Texas Pillows

 Yup, that's right y'all, more Texas  😊

This is the team up of Texas Pillowcase and Texas Heart Pillow 😍      I 💝 Texas

The ease in which the pillowcase's go on and off, and fit different pillows, honestly is leaving me a little giddy. :)

You probably can't tell from the photos, but the 'faux wood' is actually the perfect touch, framing this crochet Texas flag, giving it a rustic, classic Texas look.

The Texas Pillowcase Pattern or Texas Pillowcase Pattern has multiple options for trim or no trim, as well as places to continue, if you would like to have more crochet fun, or places to stop if you are happy with your results without trim. Texas Heart Pillow Pattern can also be made trim or no trim, and all sizes can be bought together, or found sold separately in Doily Designs Etsy shop.

Thank you for stopping by.

Best wishes, and happy crocheting!

Junior vs King/Queen American Flag Blanket

American Flag Blanket Junior size is smaller than the Queen/King, but still fits a king size bed!

Junior measures approximately 48 x 68 inches (121 x 172 cm) 

While King/Queen measures approximately 68 x 80 inches (172 x 203 cm)

Find blankets and blanket patterns on Etsy.

Original design was 48 x 68, but pattern was written for 68 x 80.

While the King/Queen is great, I will say, the Junior has so much to offer; less yarn needed, less time needed to be invested, lighter, and because of size, more useable, just to name a few reasons.

After numerous requests for the smaller size, Junior blankets are available on Etsy, as well as we are working on the smaller size pattern to be available soon.

New 2.0 Junior American Flag Blanket Pattern uses some great new stitch techniques, as mentioned, less yarn, with the same design flexibility and aesthetic.

Check back soon for Junior pattern, or hop over to Etsy, and grab an already made blanket for yourself or a friend.

Thank you for stopping by.

Best wishes, happy crocheting, and God Bless America!

Mother's Day Crochet

Mothers Day 2024

A favorite for Mother's Day, the Cranberry Pineapple Christmas Tree Skirt pattern. Crochet pattern gives Mom something to get started on way ahead of Christmas, or for you to start on, for Ma, if you are the crocheter. :) 

Unique take on the traditional crochet pineapple design, using chunky crochet style. 

Original 43" tree skirt, and Large 60" tree skirt patterns, available as a bundle, or sold separately. 

This and every Mother's day, I am so grateful for my WONDERFUL Mother 💖 and Grandmother 💖💖 

My life would not be the same without their guidance, inspiration, encouragement, and LOVE💖   

My Awesome Mom learned to crochet from her Mom, and I learned from her. For her, to see me still crocheting, and the tradition go on, makes Mom happy, and that makes me happy 💖  I am glad to tell her one of her granddaughters has finally decided to pick up the hook! :)

The Cranberry Pineapple tree skirt pattern was inspired in part by my Grandmother and her lovely crochet.  💖

💖

Crochet is great for mind, body, heart, and soul.

Best wishes, happy crocheting, and Happy Mother's Day!
