I had so much fun with the 6″ (15 cm) version of the Raised Bunchberry Square pattern that I shared last week that I decided to upsize it to a 12″ (30.5 cm) version! This is Square 23 in the 2015 American Crochet Afghan Crochet-Along.

This version of the pattern includes a photo tutorial for the special stitch used in the last 7 rows. You can find photo tutorials for the special stitches used in the first 7 rows here. You can find the pattern without a photo tutorial here.

I can’t wait to see what your version looks like. Don’t forget to share a picture on Ravelry or with my Facebook page if you make one!

If you want an easy print format, you can buy an ad-free PDF version on Craftsy. The Craftsy version includes two files – a pattern only version and a pattern with tutorials version. You can choose which one to use and print.
