Crocheting has never been sweeter than with this watermelon inspire throw. No summer picnic is complete without one. Motif-by-motif this is one watermelon to get with seeds.

The perfect take-along project for this summer. Features bright and fun colors with an easy, beautiful motif. By working multi-colored motifs in each section, the result comes together to form a picture afghan. Work them up individually and seam them together later for easy on-the-go travel or work them up join-as-you-go style. Finish with a simple single crochet border all around and fun tassels in each corner. The pattern features written instructions for the seamless looking Summer Burst motif with a color chart and graph to help with placement of squares.

The squares are joined using the join-as-you-go method.
Only the first square of the pattern will be completed with all 4 rounds of the motif. The remainder of the squares will be joined to the adjacent square while completing the fourth round as written in the join-as-you-go section.

If you prefer to seam motifs together at the end, follow instructions from Rnd 1-4 for each motif.
