Free Crochet 7 Point Star Throw Pattern

Love the pattern but not the color choice

I love the pattern, not too keen on the color choice, BUT, I decided to tap into my creative thinking juices and found that you can achieve the same effect of the pattern by using the Red Heart Color Block skeins! With the color block skeins I got the variegated look along with patches of solid colors without having to constantly tie off all the color changes. And by using the color block skeins I was able to bypass the color changing instructions for rounds 14-25 and rounds 29-38.

A Lot of Work

I like the circular throws because it doesn’t show if you need to get a second dye lot. I don't like the colors shown, but I thought the pattern looked interesting. I made 2, one with two shades of pink plus cream and another with 2 shades of purple plus cream. I did stripes, with the darker color as my main color. It took a lot of time and I’m a fast worker. The center went quickly, but once I got to the outer rounds, it was taking almost 2 hours to get around the edge. If you find a mistake and have to rip, that's a lot of work wasted. I used the With Love yarn for both and the throws are lovely.

For Round 25 it states that you should have 26 dc before and after the dec3. By my count there is only 23 dc at this round. If the increase crochets are included, it is 25 and still not 26. Can you explain where the 26 comes from?

I can't make row 6 work and I don't know what I did wrong. Please help.

Could someone clarify round 6. Do they mean 6 double crochet in each chain 2 space and decrease twice between the chain 2 spaces. And I'm not sure what they mean by half double in the top

I was curious if anyone could clarify round 4 on this pattern? I’m counting the stitches as I go and I’m always off on the count by one or four stitches. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong and I've repeatedly had to go back and redo it.
