Hi there! How as your February? Did you have fun? It feels like it’s been a cold one of really indecisive winter weather here. I know I’m ready for spring and bright happy colors. I think that’s what I was channeling when I designed this week’s new release, the Galactic Glow Trio crochet patterns.

If you’ve been around here for a while you know that I love squares/ coasters. I think they such a fun little make that works up fast and feels good to make. They break up larger projects with a nice satisfying finish. You know what I mean?

Originally, back in December, I designed these squares with the intent to make them into a 13 square bag like my Cat Lady Bag. I had so much fun designing the squares but… then lost interest when it came to finishing them all. I’m sure you know how it goes. Sometimes it’s the early stages of design that’s so fun and then after that, less so. Usually I can push through finish a pattern when I get bored but this year, just couldn’t. So I set these squares in a time out and decided to release them as squares on their own. This way you can use ’em as you’d like.

As always, I used Stitch Fiddle to design these squares and they’re worked from the bottom up in rows. And below you’re going to find some photos of the Jam on Toast Square as I was working up the design. I included them so you can get a bit more insight into how I like to work my squares. I primarily used intarsia for these squares, meaning I used separate ends of yarn for the color sections and didn’t crochet over/ carry the yarn much, because it kept the RS looking tidy. There are more than a few ends to work with but, for me at least, it wasn’t a lot of work to weave them all in.

I don’t know if I’ll get around to finishing that bag idea I had a few months ago or just make these into a scarf (seaming them top/ bottom like the Wake the Dead Scarf) or just leave them as coasters. But I did want to release all 3 of these designs because I know people love a good celestial design. I could see these as cute pockets on a cardigan or whatever you can think. They’re super versatile.

Overall I hope you like this pattern trio. If you use them, I’d love to hear what you do with them in the comments. That’s always so fun 😀 And as always, if you like my patterns here and would like a pdf copy (which includes the written instructions) it is available on Ravelry.
I hope you’re doing the best you can in 2025. It’s been hard but find your community and make connections.

Please note: I was provided the yarn for this pattern by Lion Brand Yarn with no real purpose, just to make something fun and without compensation. I wasn’t provided the yarn with the expectations of positive or negative reviews but I’ve used DIYYarn many times this last year and it’s fantastic. A great worsted weight yarn, I love it.

Notes on carrying yarn on the Galactic Glow Trio crochet patterns

For yarn conservation and clarity purposes, almost all the colors are not carried throughout the squares. Instead I used “bobbins” or individual stands of color for the other color or colors for all the squares.

Below are 2 close up photos of the Jam On Toast Square showing all the colors being used separately with separate strands of yarn, it’s the same technique I used for this pattern. If you’d like to carry the yarn (tbh I don’t suggest it for the best results), I do highly suggest while carrying the inactive yarn with the RS facing, make sure it’s behind the previous row’s stitches. And when carrying the inactive yarn with the WS facing, make sure it’s in front of the previous row’s stitches. Don’t pull the carried yarn too tight or let it hang loose (try to keep it even
with the stitches), as it can distort your square’s final look. Blocking may help even
out some distortion or bulkiness of the center that may occur.

Remember: Your squares may not be perfectly square when you’re done, but the border and blocking (which is highly suggested) can help this. The seaming can also even out some size inconsistency.

Galactic Glow Moon Square Graph

Graph Key: Color A is blue, color B is white, and color C is yellow. I used DIYarn by Lion Brand Yarn for this pattern.

For the squares: begin with a ch 22 in color A, turn, and start in the 2nd ch from the hook. Each row begins with a “ch 1, turn” and all st counts are 21 sc.

Border
With the RS facing you, join any color (I used black) in the first st on the other side of Row 1 of the square. 
Row 1: Ch 1, sc into the next 21 sts, ch 1 at the corner, sc into the next 21 row ends, ch 1 at the corner, sc into the next 21 sts of Row 21, ch 1 at the corner, sc down the next 21 row ends, ch 1 at the corner, join with a slip st – 84 sc, 4 ch-1 spaces
Fasten off, weave in your ends. Block the square so it measures 4.8” x 4.8”.
