Great pattern. I found that I liked only using two chains in the final round of HDC's. Three made the corners too "poofy" for my liking

Hi Kristine! Thank you so much for this tutorial. I can’t wait to recreate this granny square!! A quick question: if you decide to do DC around the outer border instead of HDC, would you still CH3 at the corners, or would you increase the CH count? Thanks for your help!

[@KristinesDay]

Hii! Yes, ai would still do 3ch, it should be enough to make the corner ☺️ Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰

[@slavcinko]

Thank you for the tutorial, it is beautiful, unfortunately I always end up with 13 sun spikes, i dont know why, i am a beginner crocheter and for this tutorial I use double amount of yarn and 4,5 mm hook :/, help?

[@KristinesDay]

Thank you! ❤️ Could it be that you have added an extra one where you made a slip stitch during one of the rounds? 🤔

[@beazmetry]

after trying out the pattern i have the same issue as a beginner 😅 i have 13 rays and had no issues until I went to finish the 5th row to shape the square, i had four stitches too many so i solved it by starting the row over and adding 1sc to each side so instead of 7sc it’s 8! did you manage to redo it and get 12 rays, or did you solve it other way?

[@kym-marie7009]

Thank you! Mine looks great although the back is a mess from my colour changes

[@KristinesDay]

🥰 yes, back tends to get messy. I'm also trying to practice to hide all my threads as I go. :)

[@Sabaholics]

Hi, this is great, wanted to ask what are the final stch count? I have already started a project and wanted to add this one, mine are 76 stc on the final round. Thanks allot

I’m not sure if you are still replying to comments but on the part in round 5 where you have to switch back to yellow from blue (around 15 minutes in) the yellow crosses over the blue to finalise it, I was wondering if there was anyway to avoid that from happening??

[@KristinesDay]

Hey! 👋 do you mean on the back side? If so, you can hide yarn under neat the stitches. Otherwise I’m not sure if I understood the question correctly 🙈

[@annaczerwien3376]

Hi, do you know how much yarn you used on 1 square? I'm planning on doing a bag made of these and don't know how many balls of yarn to buy😅

[@KristinesDay]

Hmm, not sure how much exactly, I would say perhaps 10 g at most. Have fun with the project when you get there 🎉

[@Value1lady]

What size hook for a worsted weight cotton yarn? I cant use that size yarn.

[@KristinesDay]

Google suggests 5.5mm - 6mm. 😊 but check on the yarn packaging as well, it might be giving a suggestion.

[@isangelousart]

This was so fun! I was scared when you said on your reply to my comment on the star square that the sun was harder but honestly, it definitely wasn't for me. Sure, the round 5 was challenging, but not hard, just the right amount of difficulty to make it fun 😁 First time using two yarns together but I think I manages. I've just made my first sun and it came out perfectly, I'm in love with it! I think this one is my favorite so far! Thank you for the tutorial! I was planning to use all three of them; moon, star and the sun but their sizes seem to be different, is that normal or is it an amateur mistake that I made? 😅 The stars are just a little bit smaller but the moons have quite a difference. Should I add more rounds on the ends to use them together? Or should I skip the 3rd round to make it work together? Even so, I think the moon will still need additions.

[@KristinesDay]

Oh that's great to hear! And exactly - it needs some difficulty to make it fun! 🙌 Yes, it's normal for sizes not to be the same as initially I created them as separate patterns. However, you can easily adjust the squares to be the same size by adding extra rounds to the squares that are smaller (SC all around if there is a minimal difference in size, DC if the difference is bigger). 🤗 Hope this helps! ❤️ And thanks so much for taking time to reach out! 🥰

I’m confused. On the row where you do the corners, I do the 4th corner, and then I do 7sc, but I don’t make it to the first corner and I end up with 5 corners. I think I am doing something wrong but I’m not sure what?

[@KristinesDay]

I just looked back on the square I did and realised I had 13 spikes instead of 12 😅

[@caleyhunt5338]

Hi, I'm at the step where you start to switch colors. I'm having a hard time getting the back of my square to look as good as the front. Specifically, the blue color crosses over the top of the sun rays and cuts them off. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks!

[@KristinesDay]

Try to leave the other yarn that you are not using in the back at all times. Ideally you should be weaving it in the stitches you are doing so it's not visible at the back either :) Hope this helps!

[@ulrikeschulte-bockholt559]

I have a question, how does it look on the backside?

[@KristinesDay]

It's not as smooth on the back side. You might have some threads hanging out.

[@jaxothy]

Im going to use this, your star, your moon, and a solid granny square to make mt friend a bag! I was wondering if anybody has done something similar (pairing these with solid granny squares) and if you were able to get the stitched to line up number wise? I can adjust tension for sizing, as long as i can sew them up right😅

[@theysaylikewhoop]

i don’t understand what i’m doing wrong… round 6 never adds up for me, two many stitches all around, even though i follow the instructions, i have all 12 sunbeams… i don’t understand. i do 2dc-c3-2dc-hdc and then 7 single crochets, but after making the corners i still have stitches left?? :( any suggestions?

[@KristinesDay]

hmm, I think you are skipping a DC after 2dc-c3-2dc. -> 2dc-c3-2dc-DC-hdc-7sc

[@PollyNery]

It’s the same size of the moon square? ❤

The moon square is a little smaller, so you would have to add an additional round to match with this ☺️

I got mad the second she said we need 11 stitches then it magically changes to 12😂

It ie because chain of 3 counts as the 12th DC. So 1 chain of 3 and 11DC = 12DC

[@Mia-vt8zg]

The chains count as a stitch, that’s a standard crochet thing
