by Dragonfly Mom of 2

 

 

 

 

and here is my Sunburst Square based on the Snowfall design

 

 

 

I ch 6 and sl st to form my ring

Ch4 and join to form a ring 

Rnd 1: Ch3, 15DC in ring. Join (16dc)

Rnd 2: Ch3, DC in same st. [Ch3, sk 1 st, 2DC in next st] 7 times. Ch3 and join. (16dc & 8 ch3)

My instructions probably aren't very clear and I apologize for that in advance.

I'm writing them out in my own way mainly for me to go back and make more squares for another afghan, but I will be more than happy to try to help you understand my way of writing if you are interested in making some of these squares. 

 Just leave a comment or email me.
