Sunburst Granny Square Pattern

Hello, everyone! I have been making sunburst granny squares like crazy for the past few weeks. Granny squares are my absolute favorite thing to crochet especially when they can be made into cute little sunflower bags. There is an endless amount of possibilities when it comes to the color combinations you can put together with the sunburst granny square.

I have seen so many amazing projects made with granny squares recently including sweaters, bags, blankets, and even bucket hats! It is so cool to see all the different variations of this pattern and similar patterns that can be made into a variety of items. The quilted look from sewing these squares together is so cozy and I hope to make even more in the future. Hopefully, I’ll be able to make a blanket with them soon!
