Royal Icing Blanket Crochet Pattern

"This pattern uses the beautiful star stitch in three colors throughout the blanket. To make this crochet pattern easier, the yarn is carried up the side. For those that do not enjoy the job or weaving in the yarn ends, carrying the yarn up the side is the ticket. The fancy crochet border is achieved with five rounds of crochet stitches. The fourth round creates the rounded shell on the edges and corners, which is perfect if you want to stop after the fourth round. However, if you like the look of a pointed shell, then continue and add the fifth round. The point is made using the picot stitch. "
