The foun­da­tion of our sun­flower granny square begins with a “mag­ic ring.” This tech­nique pro­vides a seam­less and adjustable start for your sun­flower. If you’re new to the mag­ic ring, don’t wor­ry; our “step-by-step tuto­r­i­al” will walk you through each stage. After your mag­ic ring is com­plete, it’s time to dive into the heart of the sun­flower, start­ing with the “first dc” (dou­ble cro­chet).

Sun­flow­ers are known for their beau­ti­ful sym­me­try, and this pat­tern cap­tures that essence with intri­cate “puff stitch­es” that cre­ate the sun­flow­er’s strik­ing tex­ture. The puff stitch­es are made in the “mag­ic cir­cle,” and you’ll be amazed at how they trans­form your cro­chet work into life­like sun­flow­ers.

The key to cre­at­ing these lit­tle sun­flow­ers is under­stand­ing the “tre­ble cro­chet” stitch. Our tuto­r­i­al offers a detailed guide to mas­ter­ing this spe­cial stitch. As you con­tin­ue cro­chet­ing, your sun­flower will take shape with a cir­cle of vibrant petals.

Now, let’s dis­cuss col­ors. Sun­flow­ers are famous for their rich yel­lows and warm browns. Our pat­tern encour­ages you to explore using “dif­fer­ent col­ors” for a sun­flow­er’s unique charm. The petals are typ­i­cal­ly yel­low, while the cen­ter is often brown. You can craft unique sun­flow­ers by blend­ing dif­fer­ent shades and exper­i­ment­ing with col­or com­bi­na­tions.

Craft­ing these cro­chet sun­flower squares brings me immense joy. They’re enjoy­able to cre­ate, and I love incor­po­rat­ing them into beau­ti­ful Afghan blan­kets.
