I’d be happy to provide you with a description for a simple sunflower granny square pattern. Granny squares are a classic and versatile crochet technique, and a sunflower motif adds a beautiful touch of nature to your project. Here’s a basic description of how to create a simple sunflower granny square:

Materials Needed:

  • Worsted weight yarn in yellow (for the sunflower petals), brown (for the center), and green (for the leaves and border).
  • Crochet hook appropriate for your yarn (usually a size H/5mm or similar).
  • Yarn needle for weaving in ends.

Instructions:

Center of the Sunflower:

  1. Start with a magic ring (also known as a magic circle). Chain 2 to secure it.
  2. Make 12 double crochets (DC) into the magic ring. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first DC to form a circle.
  3. Fasten off the brown yarn and weave in the ends.

Sunflower Petals:

  1. Join your yellow yarn in any of the DCs from the center. Chain 3 (counts as your first DC), then make 2 DCs in the same stitch.
  2. Chain 2, skip the next DC, then make 3 DCs in the next DC. Repeat this pattern (3 DCs, chain 2, skip 1 DC) in each of the 12 DCs from the center. You should have 12 groups of 3 DCs separated by chain-2 spaces.
  3. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain-3.

Leaves:

  1. To create the leaves, join your green yarn in one of the chain-2 spaces between the petals.
  2. Chain 2 (counts as your first half double crochet – HDC), then make 2 HDCs in the same chain-2 space.
  3. Chain 2, skip 2 DCs from the previous round, then make 3 HDCs in the next chain-2 space. Repeat this pattern (3 HDCs, chain 2, skip 2 DCs) in each of the 12 chain-2 spaces between the petals.
  4. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain-2.

Border:

  1. For the border, you can choose a simple single crochet (SC) border in green or any other desired color. Work one round of SC stitches around the entire square, making 3 SCs in each corner to keep the corners square.
  2. Fasten off and weave in all ends.

Finishing:

Repeat these steps to make as many sunflower granny squares as you need for your project, whether it’s a blanket, pillow, or something else. Then, you can join the squares together using your preferred method, such as slip stitching or whip stitching, to create your final project.

This simple sunflower granny square pattern allows you to add a touch of sunshine and nature to your crochet creations. Customize the size and colors to suit your preferences and get creative with your sunflower-themed projects!
