🧵 Inspiration & Ideas
We designed this square to be modular and versatile. You can repeat it across a full blanket, alternate it with plain granny squares for balance, or use it as the centrepiece of a bag panel. Add embroidery, stars, or even beads for a galaxy-inspired finish ✨
If you're creating nursery gifts, this square works beautifully combined with clouds, stars, and rainbow motifs. Try pairing it with muted earth tones for a vintage feel or go full cosmic with deep navy and glittery yarns!

🌍 A Note from the Maker
As a fellow crafter and business owner, I designed this pattern with new mums, creative souls, and busy makers in mind. The stitches are soothing, the result is stunning, and the theme is uplifting — exactly the kind of energy we want to bring into our homes and our craft stalls.
Whether you sell handmade goods or just crochet for joy, this pattern is a small reminder that you can crochet light, even on cloudy days.
Stay creative,
