Wonderful pattern! I have made up many of these mug rugs, but with a heart.. was looking for other designs and came across your blog. I can't wait to try these stars! Thank you!

Thank you very much for the pattern; I had been trying to make my own pattern and it was difficult for me. This is just what I wanted for an afghan to match my daughter's decor in her bedroom.

Why does so much of the pattern have instructions like "k2, k5" or k2, k17, k2"; why doesn't it read "k7" or "k21" or "knit across"?

Turtleknit, the K2 is your edging. All the patterns I've ever seen that have edges do the same thing. I think it's a reminder.

What is the measured size of the star? Thanks
