When you say cluster in the directions of the stat afghan, do u mean 3 double chain 1 or 2 and 3 double st? I ubderstand all of it but that.

I think this pattern would be good to use up scraps of yarn left over from other projects.

The pattern calls for Bernat Mosaic (100 g/3.5 oz; 191 m / 209 yds) 44200 (Ambrosia) 13 balls. This is a varigated 4-ply yarn and looks likes stripes in this pattern. There are no color changes called for. If you look closely at the picture, no row is completely one color; only sections of the rows. As for difficulty, it's not hard; simply dc's and chains. You do however have to keep a good count so your points and valleys line up correctly otherwise your star will be lopsided. Note the last paragraph of the pattern.

I'm with BBBGOOD. I love the pattern but if I don't have a color chart, I can't use it.
