How To Crochet A Sunburst Granny Square for Beginners

 CROCHET / CROCHET TIPS

Free Pattern: Sunburst Granny Square

The Spring sun is shining….most days, anyway. So, I thought it was time to celebrate the warmer weather by sharing one of my personal favorite patterns, the sunburst granny square.

I’m a huge fan of the versatile granny square. You might have guessed from some of my previous blog posts!

There’s something so magical about a small, portable project that gives you the happy serotonin burst of a finished project with each square you finish. This might just make a granny square blanket the happiest crochet project you can make!

SUNBURST GRANNY SQUARE PATTERN

Round 1. Using your first color (I used Banana Cream), create slip knot and chain 5 and join with a slip stitch. Chain 3 (this will count as your first treble crochet) Work 15 treble crochet stitches into the center circle. Insert hook into the third chain from the hook (your original chain 3) slip stitch and fasten off.

You should have 16 stitches in total (including your chain 3).

Round 2. Attach your next color (I used Mint Green) into any chain space of the previous row. Chain one and work a puff stitch into that same chain space. Continue around, working a puff stitch into each treble chain space. Slip stitch into first puff stitch and fasten off. You should shave 16 puff stitches in total.

Round 3. Attach your next color (I used Baby Lilac) into any chain space of the previous round. Chain 2 and work a cluster stitch into the same chain space, chain 2. Continue around, working a cluster stitch into each puff stitch chain space chaining 2 between each stitch. Slip stitch into the first cluster stitch and fasten off. You should have 16 cluster stitches in total.

Round 4. For this round we will be turning our circle into a square. Attach your next colour (I used Champagne White) into any chain space from the previous round.

First edge to your square. Chain 4, work 2 double treble stitches into same chain space. Chain 1, work 3 treble crochets into next chain space. Chain 1, work 3 half treble crochets into next chain space. Chain 1, work 3 treble crochets into next chain space. Chain 1, work 3 double treble crochets into next chain space. Chain 3 (for the corner).

Second edge. Working in the same chain space (that you have just completed 3 double trebles) work 3 double trebles. Chain 1, work 3 treble crochets into next chain space. Chain 1, work 3 half treble crochets into next chain space. Chain 1, work 3 treble crochets into next chain space. Chain 1, work 3 double treble crochets into next chain space. Chain 3 (for the corner).

Third edge. Working in the same chain space (that you have just completed 3 double trebles) work 3 double trebles. Chain 1, work 3 treble crochets into next chain space. Chain 1, work 3 half treble crochets into next chain space. Chain 1, work 3 treble crochets into next chain space. Chain 1, work 3 double treble crochets into next chain space. Chain 3 (for the corner).

Forth edge. Working in the same chain space (that you have just completed 3 double trebles) work 3 double trebles. Chain 1, work 3 treble crochets into next chain space. Chain 1, work 3 half treble crochets into next chain space. Chain 1, work 3 treble crochets into next chain space. Chain 1, work 3 double treble crochets into next chain space. Chain 3 (for the corner).

Insert hook into forth chain from the hook (from the original chain 4 of this round and fasten off.

You can now join your squares! If you need some help, I have a video tutorial that shows two simple and neat methods. Or you can just sew them together with the same yarn you used for round 4.

Half-Double Crochet Stitch Stitching up your new favorite blanket really can be as simple as working half-double crochet stitches on repeat.  Double crochet  works well too, but be wary of single crochet — your blanket may feel a bit stiff and heavy with that one. Try stripes or color blocks to give this basic stitch a little something extra. 2. Shell Stitch These are great for more than just  edging a blanket  — we’re big fans of using an allover shell pattern to stitch up a quick blanket.

V Stitch This classic stitch pattern (which is actually a variation on the shell stitch!) has a very literal na...
