Crocheted Starburst Baby Blanket

Introducing a fabulous crocheted baby blanket, appropriately named the crocheted starburst baby blanket. And in addition to sharing with you this simple yet lovely project, I'm so happy to say that this project was a collaboration between myself and a reader, who quite simply went to town with my filet crochet starburst square. Lucky for me, my end of the collaboration only involved a few emails and back and forth, while Diana did all the work......and this lovely blanket was born!

Simple Filet Crochet Starburst Square Pattern

Here's a super simple yet quite lovely fillet crochet/granny square star burst, with just enough detail to make it interesting, yet simple enough for crocheters of any level to pull off. And, since there are no color changes that means a lot fewer ends to weave in!

I was inspired by the gorgeous blanket I saw here, which was purchased as a kit from a Danish yarn company Yarn Freak. I am so grateful to them for their amazingly gorgeous yet simple idea, and for the inspiration to finally make that crocheted blanket I've been dreaming of, but just couldn't decide which pattern to go with! And the fun part is that the squares are attached by crocheting them together, first with a row of single crochet and then a raised row of double crochet, simple and really unique!
