All are made up of several crochet sunflower granny squares sewn together.
I hope to bring a few patterns to you using this gorgeous sunflower square.
What will you make with the sunflower granny square? I have already made a Granny Square Sunflower Bucket hat and a Granny Square Sunflower Bag to match and they are so cute.
I wanted the middle of the sunflower to represent the little seeds and decided on a PUFF Stitch worked in Brown, and for the middle and a CLUSTER stitch, for the petals in yellow.
I will show some photos to guide you on how to crochet your very first Sunflower Granny square.
Do not be intimidated. Crochet really is just multiples of in whatever particular order the pattern calls for. YARN OVER, Inert hooks, pull through.
Materials You will Require to crochet the Sunflower Square
In your chosen crochet Hook Size (I used a 4.500 mm crochet hook and a double knit light worsted yarn for the Pictures shown)
NOTE: A bigger hook will need thicker yarn, and a smaller hook will need thinner yarn.
The Middle of the Crochet Sunflower (BROWN) comprises Puff stitches.
* Read the instructions for the puff stitch and it becomes a ‘mantra’ This is where crocheting really helps us zone out and can help us relax as the repetition of the stitches becomes very soothing.
