Hello! I hope you had a lovely weekend and found some time to work on your squares. I am working on getting all of mine sewn together, and The Boy is so excited to see it put together. He loves the Solar System theme! We are wrapping up with this Solar System CAL this week (already?!) Today’s square is the C2C asteroids, which only leaves one LAST element to the Solar System to complete, the Sun.

Also, if you didn’t see my post, I finished putting together a PDF with all the Solar System patterns and graphs. You can get it on Etsy and Ravelry.

C2C Solar System CAL - Get the written pattern and graph for Day Eight of the Solar System Crochet Along, the Asteroids!

You will need to make two of this square. Be sure to watch the Rocket Ship video, as you may be carrying the yarn. I say “may be” because you can choose whether to use more bobbins or just carry your color as you work the asteroids. I prefer t to use bobbins, but if you deiced to carry the yarn, you can use your white tails to cover up any gray peeking through. As you are weaving in the white tails, work the stitches over the gray bits and it will hide it very well.
