How to Crochet the Sunburst Stitch

I’m excited to share with you a fun new & free crochet stitch pattern called the Sunburst stitch!

I love the feeling of Spring when the cold starts to melt away and the sun comes shining through. While the weather is usually fickle where I live (you’ll think its getting warmer, and then there will be a sudden frost) this is always how I imagined Spring should be. 😆Haha.

Anyway, the Sunburst Stitch is a pretty lace stitch pattern perfect for Spring! It is part of my larger stitch library, which includes over 40 stitch patterns altogether!

Access the free stitch library here, or keep scrolling to learn about the Sunburst Stitch!

In addition to that library, you can also check out a bunch of crochet stitches perfect for scarves, masculine crochet stitches, and even advanced crochet stitches.
