This is an updated version of a pattern I wrote 15 years ago… when Pluto was still a planet. I finally got around to making a new sample, without Pluto. While I was finishing the left sleeve (With Uranus and Neptune), my 6 yr old niece came over and asked me where Pluto was. I gently explained that Pluto wasn’t really a planet, it’s just a Planetoid… She stared at me and then walked away. I guess kids today are as unwilling to give up Pluto as I am. For that reason, I’ve included directions for a left sleeve with and without Pluto… make your own choice!
