Pattern Notes
Click here for a blog post all about tips and tricks you’ll want to know for making the

Stardust Melodies squares.

IMPORTANT:  Each round starts by working a stitch into the same stitch you
slip stitched to join in the previous round. But for the sake of repeats,
sometimes the first st isn’t pointed out. Sometimes the pattern starts you off

by saying to make a stitch into the next stitch. If you’re just starting a round
and all you’ve done so far is the ch1 at the very beginning and the very first

thing the pattern says to do is to stitch into the “next stitch,” that means the
first stitch, the one with the slip stitch already in it. (I know, I know, this is a bit

unconventional for me and my pattern writing, but hang in there. When you
see how this and the other CAL patterns go you’ll understand why I took some
liberties with the pattern writing.)

Stitch counts will start with 1 stitch per side in round 1 and increase by 2
stitches every round. Not counting ch2 corners.

When slip stitching to join, slip stitch to both loops and then pull the slip stitch
tight.

When you make a stitch into a lower round you will always leave the sc behind
it unworked.

If you wish to create a square larger than the written 16 rounds you’ll need to

work the pattern as written through round fourteen. Keep it growing through
an 18th round, on round 19 you’d start another chevron of treble crochets, on

round 23 you’d start another chevron of double crochets and so on until you

reach your desired size. Then use round 15 to finish up in the same manner –

you’ll see how the chevrons are completed to give you nice lines – and top it all
off with round 16.
