"This sun and star granny square was inspired by the old Victorian images of suns and stars against dark blue backgrounds, but it turn outs that other colour combinations work just as well for this square. Using star stitch as the border, gives the 3D sun centre a lovely frame. You will need aran yarn and 5mm hook. Ideal for intermediate crocheters or inquisitive beginners wanting to try new stitches. This start was originally part of the Friendship CAL but can also work as a standalone project."

Friendship Star Granny Square
"As the name suggests I have been inspired by the star shape for my textured crochet square. “Friends are like stars. You don't have to see them to know they are there.” I think friends are very much like stars. You only need to look up and they are there. Even on a cloudy night, you might not be able to see the stars but you know they are near watching over you. The granny square uses a combination of textured and lacy crochet stitches to create a beautiful square. It uses aran weight yarn and 6 mm hook."
