Alien Solar System (Outer Wilds)

Use this pattern to make a beautiful throw inspired by the solar system from Outer Wilds! The pattern is made mostly out of flat crochet circles, both double crochet and single crochet, using embelishments like back-loop crochet and tapestry colourwork to bring the planets to life. The sky blanket with the sun in the centre is worked first, then the planets are sewn on top. Any yarns can be used for the different elements so long as the colours are recognisable, though I highly recommend the ones I bought if you are going to be buying new ones! The variegated effect really gave the project an extra level. These are: DK Merino/Nylon from Yarnside Hand Dyed Yarn (Etsy), and DK from Felt Fusion - details inside the pattern.
