Sundial Motif And Throw Crochet Afghan Block Pattern With Chart

"The Sundial motif is a square afghan block using basic stitches, post stitches, and complex variations to create lots of interesting fabric texture! This afghan block is made with simple stitches to quickly create a gorgeous fabric that is really fun to crochet. This pattern is worked in joined rounds using chains, single, double, and triple crochet stitches, with specialty stitches back post double and triple, front post double and triple, and back loops only. In addition to the written instructions, you can use the stitch chart to follow every step and successfully make your own Sundial Motif and blanket. Follow the pattern to create a standard throw or create as many blocks as you want for a blanket size that you choose! The Sundial Motif and Throw is a great pattern because: Each motif is created separately, then joined together when you’re done (it’s portable, hooray)! Each motif is quick and fun to work up! You can easily substitute yarn fibers, weights, and colors to make this motif and finished afghan your own style! You’ll get to practice a lot of crochet skills: working in joined rounds, increasing, front and back post stitches, complex stitch repeats, gauge & size, border, finishing techniques & more!"
