Milky Way Blankie

"Milky Way Blankie is a beautiful space themed circular crochet blanket made by spiraling white and variegated blue yarn together and working from the center, outward. Then sparkly stars are added to the blanket, joined as you crochet the final round of each star. This fun blanket includes sizes from a small child’s lovey to a large bedspread! Arrange the stars randomly as I did, or arrange them to match a constellation, or the night sky on a special date."
