Back in the late 70s I made several "star" afghans for gifts. You use one size 8 and one size 11 or was it 13 needle. The star row was done in white and you could use blue or pink for the alternate row. Can't find the pattern anywhere. Would love to purchase book or pattern.

Are you talking about the knitted star stitch or an afghan shaped like a star?

Its a knitted star stitch. Unusual thing was that it used 2 different sized knitting needles, I made at least 6 or 7 of these so you'd think I could remember the pattern but...I've slept since then

Can you remember any other ways of how you did this Afghan?

Such as, did you do two rows in one color and same size needle, two rows in one color in two different needles, alternate colors row by row, etc.??

Please give as many specific details as you can.

I knitted the stars is white--I remember that the stars were done on the smaller needle and that you knitted three sts together, alternated the colored rows using the larger needle.

Ok, so I guess it's nothing like this pattern:

This one is not what you're wanting. Sorry-I misunderstood what you wanted

Thanks for all your efforts in attempting to find the pattern--I really appreciate it.
