The next candidate for our star-covered nap is this wonderful blanket. Overall, it's adaptation of the popular Rainbow Ripple Baby Blanket and shows how a circular pattern can make a symmetrical starburst pattern. Indeed, this would make a great floor play blanket for the little one.
The original pattern and the photos are available on Ravelry:

Afternoon Nap
- Designed by Sherri Hoch
Is there anything better than an afternoon nap under a squishy, soft and warm blankie? I don't think so! Take a look at this sweet, modern looking and very simple blankie by Sherri Hoch. What's more, the deep, blue, ocean color adds a fantastic pop to the whole project. The finished size is 55” x 47”.

However, just because the blanket is a star-covered nap accessory, it doesn't have to be all serene and peaceful. In addition to the color choice (quite calm in this case) the star blanket can also have a pretty varied and wild texture, and this wonderful project shows you how. The texture transitions are particularly wonderful.
Star Blanket
To begin exploring the theme of a star-covered nap, here is a beautiful striped star baby blanket. In particular, its glorious stripes radiate outward with Bernat Baby Coordinates yarn, a soft and delicate touch for tender young skin.
