How to Crochet the Twinkle Motif

Twinkle, twinkle little star...the twinkle blanket is oh so enchanting. This is part 1 of the Twinkle Blanket. Like a wizard’s wand, your hook will summon oddments of the same color, magically shape them into tiny stars to create a dazzling illusion of twinkles. The tiny stars at the center of these petite motifs are defined by the white rows and then unified by the pale yellow border. In this video, you will learn the how to crochet the eye of the twinkle, how to shape its rays and finally how to crochet the border.

In this demonstration, I used short lengths of purple from my scrap basket and magically transformed them into twinkles. The eye of each twinkle requires less than 9 feet of yarn which equates to about 4 oz of purples for a toddler blanket measuring 34 x 42 inches when completed. You will also need 10 oz of white and 12 oz of yellow and an H hook (5mm hook). The companion pattern is available by following this link: https://twistedyarns.com/patterns/twi...

Join us for Part 2 where you will learn to join the twinkle motifs into a constellation as you add the border. Plus, you will learn how to crochet the perfect outer border that is scaled down to complement the petite motifs.

Happy Crocheting!
