Firecracker Granny Square And Table Runner Crochet Pattern Posh Pooch Designs

 Firecracker Granny Square 
And Table Runner Crochet Pattern
  By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs 



The Firecracker Square is a 6 inch Granny or Afghan Square.
 It has "starburst' in the center stitched with Front Post Double
 Crochet Stitches to make it stand out. 
It reminded me of a Firecracker or Fire works that 
have been fired into the Sky. I think it's fun and Perfect
project For the new Year.

I Chose to use up Medium (4) Acrylic Yarns from
 My yarn stash. Most of them are either I Love This yarn
 Sparkle / Metallic or Caron Party yarns. Although, it is not
 necessary for you to use Sparkle yarns. Any med (4) yarn
 will work just fine.



If you decide to make the Table Runner I designed, 
you will need 8 squares, or add them in 2 square increments,
if a longer Table Runner is needed. The Design is quite easy, 
as it is laid out in a staggering step pattern.
