As the colder weather is approaching, I tend to create designs suitable for the coming season.
I wanted to use some of my worsted yarn up to give space for the new yarn I ordered. I was planning to create a scarf with a beautiful and textured stitch which looks great with different colors so I decided to use the starburst stitch.
This is going to be a gift for my friend so I really hope she’ll like it!
It works up super fast, it’s quite easy (using only double crochets and single crochets) and it can be a great stash buster too! What else do you need?

the starting chain should be multiples of 8 chains+2
