The Star Wars movies are the wonderful creation of George Lucas. In addition to the movies, there are terrific books written in the Star Wars universe, in the years after the fall of Emporer Palpatine. I was inspired to create this design after reading the series of X-Wing books concerning the adventures of Wedge Antilles and the Rogue and Wraith Squadrons.

Gauge: 2 sc = ½ inch
Finished size: 12" to 12" (inches)
Notes: It's up to you if you want to work over all or some of the unused yarn to "carry" it along in your work. In my sample, I worked over the unused strands when I was working on the fighter itself, in the center of the square. Odd-numbered rows are read from right to left on chart and even-numbered rows are read from left to right on chart. Row 1 is the bottom of chart and Row 32 is the top of the chart. Each square on chart equals 1 sc stitch.
Additional Notes: To change colors, work a sc with the old color, then, pull the new color through the last two loops to complete that single crochet. Always ch 1 and turn to begin each row.
(With White) Ch 37. Row 1: 1 Sc in 2nd ch from hook, 1 sc in each ch across; ch 1, turn (now and thoughout pattern). (36 sc). Rows 2: 1 Sc in each sc across; ch 1, turn. (36 sc). Row 3: 1 Sc in each of 1st 26 sc, (change to black) 1 sc in each of next 3 sc, (change to white) 1 sc in each of last 7 sc; ch 1, turn. (26 white, 3 black, 7 white sc stitches). Rows 4-36: Continue pattern according to chart. At the end of last row, fasten off if using a different color for border. EDGING: Rnd 1: Attach new color (if necessary), ch 3 (counts as beg dc), work dc stitches evenly around perimeter working 3 dc in each corner; join with sl st to top of beg dc. (If the dc border makes your square larger than 12" x 12", work instead a border of hdc or sc stitches.
