2. Insert your hook into the indicated stitch.
3. Yarn over and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook).
4. Yarn over and pull through first 2 loops (2 loops on hook).
5. Repeat steps 1-4 three more times in the same stitch (5 loops on hook).

Finished Size
The finished sun measures approximately 2.5″ x 2.5″ (6.5cm x 6.5cm). Size may vary
depending on tension and materials used.
Gauge
Gauge is not important in this pattern. Use a hook size to match your chosen yarn. Make
sure that your stitches are tight enough to prevent stuffing showing through and adjust hook
size if necessary.
Notes
2/4
Pieces are worked in a continuous spiral starting with a magic ring unless otherwise
specified. Mark the first stitch of each round with a removable stitch marker.
The dc4tog for the rays is worked in the same ch space.
