Sunnyside Up Afghan | Border Added | Pattern Release Fall of 2023

  Hello friends!

This is the

"Sunnyside Up Afghan"

now with a border!

Update:

The pattern for the afghan with border is now available by clicking here.

  

Here's a bit of a summary about 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.

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

 for the blossoms and first granny row. 

Primarily use shades 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)

It really is a flower explosion!

I like it without the border too...

Whew, I hope this general information is helpful,

and brings you some 

Warmly,

Astri Elisabeth
