Crochet Sassy Sunflower Afghan Pattern

Who doesn't love the bright and comforting appearance of a sunflower? That's why you are going to love this Crochet Sassy Sunflower Afghan Pattern.

Each colorful sunflower granny square on its own is a beautiful crochet piece but when you put them together to create a full crochet throw, it's magical.

This sunflower throw pattern has classic colors of brown, vibrant yellow, white, and green. It's an incredibly pleasing look that you or anyone you know would appreciate having this in their home.

This full pattern from Red Heart starts with constructing the squares, in which you'll make 24 in total. After they are complete, you will create three main strips. Then you'll weave them together with a yarn needle to finish.

It's a delightful and easy crochet afghan pattern that any crocheter can complete. Once finished, use it to adorn your living room couch or chair, or add it to your bed as an extra blanket for when it's chillier at night.

No matter how you use this (or if you make it as a thoughtful gift), you will love the results.
