Rising Sun 12 Inch Afghan Square
Rising Sun 12 Inch Afghan Square
"This 12 inch Rising Sun Afghan Square is the perfect addition to any afghan. The center motif is reminiscent of a rising sun. This square may look intricate but it is made up of simple stitches so it's easy to work up. You can also add or remove a few rounds to adjust the size. This pattern is worked in the round using a size I crochet hook and worsted weight yarn. This square is also block 15 of the 2016 Moogly CAL."

Not really the colors that I think about when I read rising sun, or at least not from where I live. I think yellows, oranges, and reds when I think of the sun rising. That would be an easy fix though because colors are always an easy customization on almost any piece. 12 x 12 is a great size for an afghan square.

This project is part of a Crochet Along, so its perfect for most beginners. It strikes me as a cross between a large Granny Square and a mandala. Its designed to be part of a large afghan, but I think it would work well as a stand alone pillow cover. You could either work another 12 inch block in the same, solid, or different block and stitch the corners together. Stuff it with a small pillow, and it would even be reversible.
