Star Power Granny Square Crochet Pattern
Harness the raw force of the galaxies and universe with the Star Power Granny Square Crochet Pattern. One of our favorite stitches is the popcorn stitch and this pattern uses it to form the star in the center! Whether you're making this granny square just for fun or to make a whole afghan for a rock star person in your life, we guarantee that you'll adore the outcome. You can pick another color of yarn, but we do really like the boldness of purple. Purple gives even more power to your star pattern in the square.
