Nostalgia Starburst Blanket Pattern x Millenial Collection by The Frosted Stitch

I have never had a harder time naming something in all my life. In the history of naming things, this one takes the cake. Speaking of cake… everything from Confetti, to Funfetti, to Sprinkles and Dreams were floated. None of it felt right (and also had been already in use by thousands of other patterns). I thought Friendship, Y2K, Millennial, Cottage, Camp and Vintage Starburst blankets would all work… alas, no.

In the end, I went with my heart. I present to you the Nostalgia Starburst Blanket Pattern. Because, it’s nostalgic for me. As an 80’s millennial, this blanket reminds me of my entire childhood. Think camp, friendship bracelets (attached to your jeans with a safety pin, of course), making beaded flower bracelets at the cottage, scrunchies, butterfly hair clips, those Lip Smacker chap sticks…the list goes on and on. The joining colour on this blanket was WILD and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have my doubts. But as I joined row after row, a warmth grew. It was JUST-SO-FUN!! Completely nostalgic, and the sweetest little dopamine hit.

I hope you love it!!!

Happy Crocheting Everyone :)
