Introduction:

This variation of the classic 6-Day Kid Blanket (6DKB) works from the center out into the shape of a seven-pointed star. It has an exciting textured stripe called the Ridgy Didge. The Ridgy Didge Stripe was conceptualized by Diane Kagay, Erin Boom Iske and Stephanie Pundt-Werner. Sue McKinnon and Katie Poli suggested the name.

This pattern is adaptable. It can be made in virtually any yarn and you can make it as small or as large as you want. You can make it in a solid color, stripe it intentionally, use cake yarn, or clean out your scrap basket. No one can make just one 6-Day Blanket, Star, Superstar, or Supernova Blanket, and now all with Ridgy Didge versions as well. With so many choices you will never run out of options.

What’s the difference between this blanket and the 6-Day Ridgy Didge Superstar, and 6-Day Ridgy Didge Supernova Blankets?

• The 6-Day Ridgy Didge Star blanket has seven points and is based on the 6-Day Star Blanket, the easiest of all the 6-Day blankets. It has eight setup rows and is repetitive after that. I suggest first timers and new crocheters start with the 6-Day Star or Ridgy Didge Star and then attempt one of the other variations.

• The 6-Day Ridgy Didge Superstar is based on the 6-Day Superstar, has 14 points and comes out almost circular with chevrons. It has a more challenging setup but once the setup is complete it is repetitive (like the 6-Day Star).

• The 6-Day Ridgy Didge Supernova is similar to the 6-Day Supernova and has a total of 14 points: 7 larger points and 7 smaller points. It is the most complicated of all the star blankets, although not difficult to make, it is not mindlessly repetitive. Try the Supernova first and then the Ridgy Didge Supernova when you’re comfortable with the star and ready for a challenge.

• There are also shawl and holiday tree skirt versions of the 6-Day Star Blanket.
