Looking for beautiful square blocks you can add to your crochet blanket? If so, this wonderful Sunburst Granny Squares pattern by Jess Coppom is just what you need.
It comes as a developed version of traditional granny squares. What makes them different is their centre, which forms a circle instead of a square. Work the sunburst granny squares in four rounds using a magic ring and puff stitches to give it a fabulous, eye-catching texture.
Choosing the Right Yarn for Sunburst Granny Squares
One of the best things about this sunburst granny square pattern is how flexible it is. You can use yarn leftovers from your stash, making it great for using up extra yarn. Choose medium-weight yarn for good texture and shape.
For a lively sunflower look, mix golden yellow with warm browns. If you want a playful feel, go with pastel colors. Neutral colors also look lovely if you prefer a more classic, calm look.
How to Crochet a Sunburst Granny Square
Making a Sunburst Granny Square is both simple and rewarding, even for beginners ready to try puff stitches. This project can be divided into three general steps:
- Start with a magic ring to get a neat, round center.
- Use puff stitches to add texture and make the design stand out.
- Finish each square with single crochets or other edge stitches to keep it uniform.
Whether you’re crafting one square or piecing many into a blanket, each piece offers eye-catching details.
