I found the original version of this pattern in December 2013 and fell in love with it. I made a baby afghan for my sister’s new granddaughter using that pattern. About a month ago, I saw a two-pronged and a four-pronged version on Facebook. Of course I wanted to be different, so I made this three-pronged version.

This square is very American in design using the red-white-blue color palette and centered star surrounded by strips of color. TThis pattern also uses a crossed double crochet stitch to mimic stars around the square as well.

As far as I know, this is an original design (at least, I’ve not found anything like it). The diamond is actually a simple variation on the traditional granny square.
