she doesn't like granny squares so sure it was not what we are looking. she is still crocheting---that is why I thought it would be nice to find it for her. it was done in one piece for sure. it was on the inside of a Red Heart skein band.

You might search on eBay for the kit... I've often seen kits for sale there that someone bought years ago, and now are being sold. Keep it as a permanent search, then when one comes up for sale, you will be notified. Also, take a look at the link below. There is a crocheted train afghan in the book titled "Creative Hands Picture Afghans." It is shown on the cover. (It's the 24th item down!) If that one appeals to you, you could also keep a search for it on eBay. Here is a link that might be useful: Creative Hands Picture Afghans

Hi, I thought you might be able to use this pattern and add your own colors. Starry, Starry Night IMPORTANT: To complete this design, you will need to reference the pattern for Bethfs Little Star Afghan (which is not my pattern) and the Gapless Star Applique (which is mine, but has been posted on another page). Difficulty: Advanced Intermediate for shaping and assembly Materials *Red Heart Soft Baby - (575 yd/525 m per 7 oz/198 g skein) 1 skein White, 1 skein Sky Blue, 1/2 skein Powder Yellow *F/5 (3.75 mm) hook *Yarn Needle Finished Size: From tip of one point to the dent directly opposite, this afghan measures approximately 34ÂÂ across. Abbreviations: ch = chain dc = double crochet dec = decrease rnd(s) = round(s) sk = skip sl st = slip st st(s) = stitch(es) US pattern conventions used. Directions: Note - The pattern for BethÂfs Little Star directs you to chain 3 stitches after joining each round. I recommend chaining 2 to avoid an obvious extra gap. Rnds 1-10: With yellow, begin by following pattern for BethÂfs Little star and work as directed. Rnd 11: Make the sl st with the yellow, but switch to blue for the ch-2 (or ch-3, if you are working the pattern as written). Finish off yellow, continue rnd in blue as directed. Rnds 12-23: Work as directed. Cloud Border Edit: Because several people have asked this question, I will answer it here: you are supposed to use both versions of the cloud border, they are intended to go on different sections of the star. Do not finish off blue: blue will remain unworked until after border is completed. There are two separate designs for the cloudy border, one is worked from the center of the star outwards to the tip, and the other is worked from the tip towards the center dent. Center to Tip: Row 1: With white, join in first dc after center (the bottom of the ÂgVÂh formed by the points of the star). Working in the front loop only, dc across until 4 dc remain on that leg of the star. [Dc dec] twice, ch 2 and turn. Row 2: (Now working through both loops,) sk the first st, dc dec, dc in next st, dc dec. Dc across until 4 dc remain, [dc dec] twice. Do not ch, turn. Rows 3-4: Sk first 2 sts, make 5 dc in next st, sk 1 st, sl st in next st. Ch 2, dc dec across next 2 sts. Dc across to last 4 sts, [dc dec] twice. Do not ch, turn. Row 5: [Sk 2 sts, make 5 dc in next st, sk 1 st, sl st in next st] twice, ch 2. Dc dec across next 2 sts, dc across until 4 sts remain. [Dc dec] twice, do not ch, turn. Row 6: [Sk 2 sts, make 5 dc in next st, sk 1 st, sl st in next st] twice, finish off. Tip to Center: Row 1: With white, join in first dc after ch-2 at the tip of a point. Ch 2, and working through front loops only, dc across until 4 dc remain in leg. [Dc dec] twice, do not ch, turn. Row 2: (Now working through both loops,) sk 2 sts, make 5 dc in next st, sk 1 st, sl st in next st.Ch 2, dc across until 4 sts remain. [Dc dc] twice, ch 3, turn. Row 3: Sk 3 sts, sl st in next st. Ch 2, dc dec across next 2 sts. Dc across until 4 sts remain, [dc dec] twice. Do not ch, turn. Row 4: [Sk 2 sts, make 5 dc in next st, sk 1 st, sl st in next st] twice, ch 2, dc dec across next 2 sts. Dc across to within 4 sts of end, [dc dec] twice. Ch 2, turn. Row 5: Dc dec, sl st in next st. [Sk 2 sts, make 5 dc in next st, sk 1 st, sl st in next st] twice, finish off. Repeat cloud motifs around until each leg of the star has a cloudy border. Fold clouds forward (onto the right side of the afghan) and sew down flat. Weave in ends. Now, go back to working around! Rnd 24: Make sl st with blue, and switch to white for the ch-2. Finish off blue. Continue rnd as directed, being sure to work through both loops of rnd 23 (Yes, that does mean the loops you already used to attach the clouds). Rnds 25 - 31: Work as directed. Finish off, weave in ends. To complete afghan, make some star appliques and distribute as desired. (Example shown used 5 small stars, 5 medium stars, and 2 large stars.)

Too bad that neither of the last 2 posters have put their email addy on their "My Page" which is quite simple to do. When asking for copies of patterns much better, easier, less hassle and quiet when it's done off this board. So, fellow members, if you want copies of patterns ~~ post your email address on your "My Page".
