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.
