Hi Jennifer: To make a six point star (star of David), is it as simple as just adding another cluster of 3 dc in the beginning and following the pattern around?
I am making a modern granny stitch US Flag afghan. I need stars only 2 to 3 inches across. Is there a way I could make these that small?
How do you join them together to make a blanket?
