HELP! I need my surface to be 1 of 2 instead of 1 of 4 like the tutorial, why is mine different?

I have been trying this for hours now, I am not quite sure what I am doing wrong but I have attached a photo of mine vs. theirs.

THere is a stroke weight of 0.25 in the tutorial. WHat is your stroke weight?
