Sunburst Granny Squares can be used to create an array of beautiful items, from blankets and afghans to pillows, coasters, and even garments. The versatility of this pattern ensures that it remains relevant and beloved by crafters worldwide.
Sunburst Granny Squares provide ample opportunity for creative color combinations. You can use a single color for the center circle and then experiment with different shades for the petal rounds. This opens up a world of possibilities for creating unique, personalized designs.
Materials Needed:
- Yarn in your choice of colors
- Crochet hook of the appropriate size (I recommend a 4mm)
- Scissors
- Yarn needle for weaving in ends
Tutorial:
Round 1: Begin by creating a magic circle or chain 5 and join with a slip stitch. Then, chain 3 (counting as the first double crochet) and work 15 more double crochet stitches into the ring. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain 3. This completes a total of 16 double crochet stitches. Fasten off.
Round 1
Round 2: Attach the next color with a slip stitch to any double crochet. Chain 1 and create a puff stitch in the same stitch and in each double crochet around. Join with a slip stitch to the first puff stitch. This round consists of 16 puff stitches. Fasten off.
Round 2
Round 3: Attach the next color with a slip stitch in the chain 1 space of any puff stitch. Chain 2 and work a cluster stitch, chain 2, in the same space and in each chain 1 space around. Join with a slip stitch to the beginning cluster stitch. This round includes 16 cluster stitches. Fasten off.
Round 3
Round 4: For this round, you can choose any color, but for uniformity, using the same color (like white or black) for every fourth round of each square is recommended. Start by attaching your chosen color with a slip stitch to any chain 2 space. Chain 4 (counting as the first treble stitch) and crochet two more treble stitches in the same space.
Now, to create the square shape, follow these steps: Make 3 double crochet in the next chain 2 space, 3 half double crochet in the next chain 2 space, and 3 double crochet in the next chain 2 space. This completes one of the four straight lines of your square. Next, form your first corner by crocheting 3 treble stitches, chain 3, and another 3 treble stitches, all in the next chain 2 space. Repeat this sequence (straight line + corner) two more times and then repeat from * to * (straight line) once more. To finish the last corner, crochet 3 treble stitches in the same space as the beginning treble stitches, chain 3, and join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain 4.
Round 4
Fasten off, and there you have it! Your Sunburst Granny Square is complete, showcasing its intricate design and vibrant colors.
