The Sunburst afghan square radiates warmth and charm. It’s full of texture with the granny stitch add a touch of timeless elegance to this delightful square. It’s perfect for a cozy blanket that will wrap you in comfort and style.

The square is filled with texture created by the variety of stitches and techniques used in the construction.

The Sunburst afghan square actually starts as a circle. The cluster stitches in the center of the square create the illusion of a sunburst. Subsequent rounds turn that circle into a square.

Working single crochets in the 3rd loop of the round before pushes the top loop to the front of the square for a beautiful surface stitch without needing to add anything once the square is finished.

The star of the show is the granny stitch, that group of 3 double crochet worked together in a space or stitch that comes straight from the traditional granny square. It’s mixed in with the other stitches for a beautiful combination.

Skill level: Advanced beginner/Intermediate

Stitches used: chain, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, cluster stitches, working in the 3rd loop
