How To Crochet A Super Star Baby Afghan

http://www.mikeyssmail.com Mikey crochets his way through the starting of a Crochet Super Star. He will show you how to cast on, get completely started, Change colours and then cast off. This is a fabulous tutorial. What's brilliant about this crochet tutorial is that the size of the star is up to you. Stop when you think it's big enough. This can be as small as a simple doilie or as large as an afghan. Your're the designer, you choose the outcome.

Thank you so much. I have been trying to learn to crochet and have watched lots of videos because the written directions in books might as well be written in French. I don't get it. I watched your video on the basketweave once and was able to start my blanket. I watched the star video a snipet at a time and was able to start my star in less than an hour. Do you sell any videos of other projects?

I asked if there was a difference in yarn and there is. Mikey said, he is using 4 ply Burnett. I'm using 4 ply worsted.

@princessnikki007 hello....I know u asked about the difference between the yarns...the names may be different but they are both 4 ply worsted weight yarns..... Bernat is the name of the yarn he is using like red heart etc... some people prefer one 4ply worsted weight yarn to another but they are the same thickness.... cathy@the crochet crowd helpdesk

I want to thank you for adding this video. I tried to make one by pattern but it didn't turn out but this makes its so easy. I'm making a rug i can use at beach. I'm using banana berry, spring green, turqua, and royal blue.

does it increase by two everytime? like i went from 2- 4-6-8 -10 and then its going to 13 instead of 12

thank you!! i made two stars and they were a little goofy looking so I tried a 3rd time and the star is much better looking. takes practice and watching the video several times. your teaching method is easy to follow. thank you :-)

Thank sooooo so so so muuuuuch! I have been trying to crochet a baby blanket for a friend and it is waaaaaaaaay overdue. My friend had her son in September, but anyway, I was doing a typical straight, rectangular blanket and I think it's hideous but I could find anything appealing or easy to understand. YOU are a lifesaver, I can't wait to start this project!

Thank you sooo much! I certainly hope I can continue this alone ;)

What a great help , I have tried this 5 times with just the pattern & did not get it.

AWESOME!

Two things. I seem to be losing a stitch at the beginning of each row.. So I slip stitch the last stitch of the previous row into the new row then slip stitch over one to get it off center and chain three then go up the row to get the appropriate number, right? Well I'm on 12 up 3-3-3, 12 down. But I'm only reaching 11 up. Should I just pick up another stitch and not worry about it? This is twice now I've managed to muss up. Also, the chain three in the 3-3-3, I missed in one row. Needed or not?

Now that is super cool!

HOLY COW - Thank you so much! I'd been trying to make a neat baby afghan that begins with a star, working off written instructions to build the star. The instructions had me completely bewildered for a good week; when I finally got it right I found that the star just really didn't come together correctly. This video makes it super logical, and I love that newbies (like me) can pause and work at their own pace. Awesome, awesome, awesome. Thanks!!!
