All stripes should be 7 rows and equal to approx. 3 to 3 1/2 inches wide. I hope these
instructions are clear, but after you get going you should be able to see how the pattern

*Ch6, sl st in second ch from hook, sc in next ch, hdc in next ch, dc in next ch. tr in next st,
sk 2 sc, sl st in next sc. repeat from * around-5 points, join with sl st and fasten off, leaving
about a 12 inch length to sew the star on.
Sew stars on blue: I made 18 stars with 4 in the first row, centered 3 in next row and so
on. You can do all 50 using a smaller hook and placing them 6 in a row for 5 rows and 5 in
a row for the 4 rows between them.
