Star blanket


Does anyone have any advice on how to make my first star blanket lay flater/not curl as much? I’ve been crocheting for a little now but only recently have I started bigger projects and I notice this happening a lot. I use acrylic yarn and cotton yarn.

It means you have tight tension! Maybe try streaming and blocking the blanket?

Thank you! My big fear is that I’ll finish it and then steam and block it and it won’t work.

use bigger hook sizes every few rows, i don’t remember what video i was watching… but the person was following a tutorial and ended up reading aloud that you needed to change hook sizes every something rows, i don’t remember the exact amount, but going up a hook size helps a bunch bc the rows get bigger and the bigger it gets the heavier it is
