Hey guys!
It’s been another gorgeous Autumn day over here in Sussex; me and my dog Jasper had a lovely walk along the canal and then I got all christmassy and brought many christmas scented candles! I’m getting festive =)
Let’s get crocheting,
Abigail
CAL – Part 33
Granny Square – Sunburst square
All crochet patterns and terms I use are in UK, but if you want them in US then check out this handy stitch converter.

Skills used/required:
- chaining
- Magic ring
- treble crochet (tc)
