Stargazer Zodiac Crochet Blanket

Stargazer is my second blanket based around the layout of the Zodiac and the first blanket of my Exmoor Stars series. I live on Exmoor which is a designated international dark sky reserve; the reserves are classified as public or private areas that possess an exceptional quality of starry nights. The layout of the Zodiac constellations were a perfect illustration of the stars you might see on a moorland dark night. The blanket contains all 12 constellations in the right placement order, however they may seem backwards, but this is due to the earth revolving in an anti-clockwise direction.

YARN The Stargazer blanket measures 60 x 60 inches and is made with 1560 x gms of 4 ply/fingering weight Yarn (360/400 metres per 100 gms) Stargazer is a scrap blanket; so you will need assortments of very similar colours in colour collections. You can choose any yarn of the correct weight. Yarns used in the sample blanket include … Stars – Fyberspates – Vivacious 4 Ply.
