Sunnyside Up Afghan | Crochet Pattern | Directions

 Hello maker friends!

This is the

"Sunnyside Up Afghan"

UPDATE:

The Sunnyside Up Afghan with Border Pattern is now available on Etsy by clicking here.

Also found in the Apple Blossom Dreams shops on Ravelry and Lovecrafts

 (Blossom Dreams / Astri Elisabeth Designs on Ravelry).

Here is generally summary of what is in included in the pattern:

Use Stylecraft Special DK (a DK weight 100% acrylic yarn).

(A similar yarn of the same weight could be used, but please note that a worsted or aran

 weight may be too heavy to fit some of the stitches into some of the small spaces.) 

You'll need one skein of each color and 2 skeins of White or Cream.

Yarn Packs are available at Wool Warehouse by clicking here.

The pattern is also available at Wool Warehouse by clicking here. 

You'll ake 20 sets of four motifs randomly mixing up the colors in the below diagram

 for the blossoms and first granny row. 

Primarily use a shade of green (Pistachio, Lime, and Sage) for the leaves. 

Each set of four motifs will have the same color for the last two granny rows, 

the SC join, and an extra DC row around each set of four squares as per the following chart:

SC join                                                DC around

Trimmed in DC row of White.

Then join all the finished "Four Squares" with a sc join in White or Cream.

For a simple border, add a row of DC in White or Cream all around the afghan.

In the corners always place (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc).

Here are the colors and placement:

The afghan measures: 48" x 59" (120 cm x 150 cm) without the border.

Whew, I hope this general information is helpful,

and brings you some 

Warmly,

Astri Elisabeth
