Introduction
Today, I'm going to show you how to create the Sunburst Granny Square, but with a twist – making it in a larger size.
Materials Needed:
- Worsted weight yarn (number 4)
- 5 mm hook
Starting the Granny Square:
- Slip Knot and Chain Five:
- Begin with a slip knot and chain five.
- Slip stitch into the fifth chain from the hook to create a ring.
- First Round - Double Crochets:
- Chain two (counts as the first double crochet).
- Work 15 double crochets into the ring.
- Join into the top of the first double crochet for a seamless look.
- Changing Color:
- If changing colors, tie off and weave the tail into the back loops.
Second Round - Puff Stitches:
- Join New Color:
- Join the new color by placing the yarn over the hook and pulling through.
- Chain Two and Puff Stitches:
- Chain two.
- Yarn over, insert the hook into the same stitch, and repeat to get seven loops on the hook.
- Yarn over and pull through all seven loops.
- Chain one and repeat puff stitches around.
- Join by working into the space between the first two puff stitches.
- Weave in Tails:
- Weave in the tail into the back loops and cut off the yarn.
Third Round - Bobble Stitches:
- Join New Color and Chain Three:
- Use the next color for joining.
- Chain three, which counts as the first bobble stitch.
- Bobble Stitches:
- Yarn over, insert hook into stitch, and pull through two loops three times to get five loops on the hook.
- Yarn over and pull through all loops.
- Chain two and repeat bobble stitches around.
- Join into the space between the first two bobbles.
- Ensure 16 Bobbles:
- Make sure there are 16 bobbles to avoid uneven shapes in future rounds.
Fourth Round - Extended Bobble Stitches:
- Join New Color and Chain Two:
- Join a new yarn.
- Yarn over, insert hook into the same space, and pull through two loops four times to get six loops on the hook.
- Yarn over and pull through all six loops.
- Chain Three and Repeat:
- Chain three and continue extended bobble stitches around.
- Join to the space between the first two stitches for a seamless look.
Final Round - Turning into a Square:
- Join Yarn and Chain Four:
- Join yarn into any space, chain four for the first treble.
- Work two treble stitches followed by a chain three to make corners.
- Working Around:
- Work three double crochets, three half double crochets, and finish with three double crochets before each corner.
- For corners, work three double treble stitches followed by a chain three.
- Finish Off:
- Slip stitch into the top of the chain four from the start.
- Weave in the ends.
Conclusion:
By adding an extra round and varying the stitches, you can create a larger, flatter sunburst granny square without puckering. The bigger squares mean fewer squares to make for your project. Enjoy your beautiful and improved granny square!
