Materials Needed for Solar System Space Blanket Pattern

Assembly Instructions

• Block the blanket to a rectangular shape after completing the first two rounds of the border to set the shape before surface crocheting orbit lines.
• Mark the designated rows along the left side of the blanket (as noted in rounds with '*mark this row') to identify where to add the sun outline and orbit lines prior to surface crocheting.
• Surface crochet the sun rays and orbit lines between the marked rows, checking tension often so the surface stitches do not pull the blanket fabric.
• Layout planet appliques on the finished blanket to choose placement; sew each planet securely in place using a yarn needle and matching yarn with whipstitch or invisible mattress stitch.

Important Notes

• 💡Use stitch markers to keep track of your marked rows for orbit and sun outlines; this helps align surface crochet lines accurately.
• 💡Work slip stitches at the right edge loosely so the edge does not pull tight; slip stitches do not count in end-of-row stitch counts.
• 💡Weave in ends as you go and block the blanket before adding orbit lines for best results and a polished finish.

This Solar System Space Blanket Pattern brings a playful, educational twist to a cozy baby or childrens blanket.
