This next part is a (somewhat) advanced technique called the Perfect Stripe method where we’ll be making a round of half color changes. You can continue in all Red if you don’t feel comfortable with half color changes.
To learn more watch the video version of this pattern (31:10) or check out the techniques tutorial at ClubCrochet.com/STRIPES
[Change to White / Red]
Rnd 5: [sc 4, inc 1] 3 times (18)

To add smaller windows on either side of the large window, replace Rnd 7 with…

Rnds 6-9: sc in each st (18 x 4)
Rnd 10: [sc 4, invdec 1] 3 times (15)
Rnd 11: sc in each (15)
Rnd 12: [sc 3, invdec 1] 3 times (12)
Sew the window onto the front. Make sure to use the blue stitches on the back of the window while sewing to keep the grey slsts on the outside.
Rnd 13: sc in each (12)
Stuff somewhat.
Rnd 14: [sc 2, invdec 1] 3 times (9)
[Change to Grey]
Rnd 15: Working in the FLO, slst in each (9)
Rnd 16: Working in the BLO of the slsts in Rnd 15, slst in each (9)
Cut, pull through, and hide the end.
Sew on the fins around the base of the rocket just above the grey slsts. Make sure they are flat and try to get them perfectly vertical. Stuff fully.
04Light-Up Base
For this part, you'll need some additional materials:
• ~ 2 feet of strong wire
• 4” of cardboard for the base
• A string of yellow lights
• Hot Glue + glue gun (optional)
• Some additional stuffing.
Find the additional video tutorial for this section here.
Step 1: Cut a circle out of a flat piece of cardboard.
Make sure it’s got a pretty decent sized base, around 4” in diameter should be good.
Step 2: Wind a portion of the wire around the base of the cardboard. Hot glue this down if desired, though if done correctly this can be avoided.
Step 3: Bend the end of the wire towards the center of the circle and then straight up. Cut the wire to your desired height (make sure it can support the weight of the rocket on the end!)
Step 4: Wind the lights around the wire, leaving a small amount of the end of the wire exposed. Leave a large chunk of the lights at the base, and make sure the switch is visible. Hot glue it down to the edge if you’d like to be certain.
Step 5: Using your additional stuffing. Pull it and roll it in a towel or on a rug to make a long string of stuffing. Try to make the string around 1 – 2” thick.
Wind this around the wire covering the lights. Making sure to leave the end exposed for fitting the rocket onto.
You can hot glue the stuffing to the wire as you go, but I didn’t find this very necessary.
Cover the base with stuffing to make a large cloud over the bunch of lights. You can continue wrapping around the wire with the stuffing to get this effect as well, but be sure to cover as much of the cardboard as possible.
Now when you turn it on, the lights should shine through the stuffing illuminating the whole piece! Just place the rocket on the end of the wire.

I preordered the Space Crafts season and am so psyched! This is my first season kit ordering from you. I can’t wait for it to arrive and get working on it. I’ve been a space nut since I was 6 years old!
There is a small typo in part three of the pattern. At around four, it is written twice. Overall, awesome pattern! I am loving my kits! (I just got pro membership for Christmas, this is my third box!)
Good eye! Thank you. Fixing it now!
