How would I extend the pattern to make this lapghan larger so that it becomes an afghan?

You just keep going, adding rounds. I've made some with Fibonacci sequences changing colors each round (1,1,2,3,5,and 8). You could also use various cake yarns too. The possibilities are endless!

I've made several of these but did not use any pattern, just made a really big granny square. They are fun to make and the colors that work are endless. Pretty fast, super easy and lots of fun.
