How to Crochet a Solid Sunburst Granny Square (seamless: without any pulls or gaps!)

[@jeanieland]

I have been crocheting since I was six years old, and I'm 60. I just wanted to thank you for this video/tutorial. I prefer to work with thread and have made so many beautiful things. Now that I'm older, I'm losing my eyesight and have started making projects with yarn i.e. 'lots' of afghans! I saw your video for the sunburst granny square and decided to give it a whirl. I just wanted to say you are an excellent teacher, and have the sweetest, most loving voice. Thank you so much again. I will be turning out many of these afghans for my kids and grandkids. Thanks again.

[@nautikrallcrochet]

Awe, thank you so much for your kind words!! I’m so glad you found it helpful. Happy crocheting ♥️

@@nautikrallcrochetyes, very good video and explanation!! Do you have a video of joining these squares?

[@sj01]

What a lovely thing to say.

[@roseterhune922]

Just found your video. Thanks ❤️ so easy to follow. Great teacher. ❤️

[@paulajane-006]

I really like this tutorial. You go slow enough to be clear but not so slow as to be agonizing or patronizing. Love it, thanks! (and the pattern is great, too

[@joanneedham7209]

I love LOVE this version of the Granny Square. Your tutorial is the absolute best. I’m addicyed to your method. Thank You

[@annmariemannino8227]

I found this pattern by chance. It's an answer to my orayers! Beautiful stitches, fun and fast to work up, no gaps, no ends to weave in and a stash buster to boot! Thank you, thank you!!

[@kathleenhamilton7608]

You are a great teacher, better than most. You explain in simple terms and make sure the camera is focused on what you are doing. I tried to follow a woman making a beautiful granny, but she kept changing the camera angle in the middle of the stitch. She drove me crazy 🤪 the beautiful granny square wasn't worth the frustration. Keep up the good work.

[@SusanPerris]

Thankyou so much for your wonderful tutorial I nearly gave up on crocheting before I came across your video , it take me nearly an hour to complete but I did it ,you are a fantastic teacher and will definitely be following your tutorials.Thankyou

[@VikkiParker]

Thanks for making your instructions so clear and pausing just at the right times to allow me to see and copy the stitch at my learning speed. I love your KZbin videos!

[@kathryntully1627]

Oh I love your video! I guess I would say I’m a beginner. I watched this video on one colored granny square over and over and over and I finally finished a granny square and it looks perfect! I love your voice and I love the fact that you don’t go on and on about yarn and loving to crochet and your life. You just get right down to it. I’m so excited about making the retro stripe Afghan. It’s gonna look so pretty in my aqua and coral bedroom. Thank you for being an excellent instructor.

[@marycook3958]

I love your easy to follow instructions and your tips make a big difference … thank you! 🤗

[@nicolestephens2813]

I wrote it out incase anyone wants it! sorry the format is wonky i was just doing it for myself. Also I used a magic circle. Magic circle ---16 double crochet (including the first, chain 2) ---Slip stitch directly into first stitch for no gaps 16 Puff stitch ---Chain one, Yarn over go through , do this until 7 bands on the hook --Pull through chain one go to next, do this until all of them are done including the very last stitch then slip stitch into the first one --Pull up to height of double crochet because have to pull through all of them --Can count 16 puff Bobble stitch --Chain 2 (she always chains 2 normal is 3) , --Yarn over into the obvious larger hole, as if you are doing the first part of a double crochet, but do not pull through the second time. --Instead keep doing the first half until you have 5 rows on the hook , chain 2 (chain two every every pull through) --Do this between each puff for a total of 16 , do the last loop slip stitch first one Granny square --Chain 4 --Double wrap (yarn over 2x) insert into space pull through 2 , pull through 2, pull through 2 (trebble stitch) --Do 3 of these (first cluster of 3 - corner) --Chain 3 inbetween the corner ones only ---Do 3 more ---pattern is corner 3 cluster, chain 3, second part of corner 3 cluster, 3 double crochet, 3 halfdouble crochet, 3 doube crochet, corner.... etc until you work your way around. To finish slip stitch into the 4th chain of the first chain length.

I love crochet but it’s been very hard to learn because I have ADD and I struggle to find tutorials I can pay attention to the whole way through. Your channel is the best find thank you so much! 🥰

[@joantionette734]

Thank You, Its hard to believe I have been struggling with making a granny square until your video.

Thank you for this tutorial. While I am not advanced in crochet, I a not a beginner. So this is perfect for me

I absolutely love this pattern and you’re an amazing teacher. Thank you so much 😊

[@knackfulknitter]

Thank you for the clear instructions for this granny square! I love the way you taught me to slip so that it appears seamless. Beautiful!

[@imogenredvers-jones4028]

Thank you for this lovely and easy to follow tutorial! I've worked my squares with a variated yarn so it's created a gradient effect from the middle outwards. The tip about working over the tail was so handy!

[@PennyinVA]

Excellent Excellent Excellent instruction and explanation. I love how you join the rounds - I’ve always struggled with that. I also like how you show that last space to stitch in! Great!!

[@lostreality6448]

Thank you so much for this video. You're amazingly easy to follow and I love that you don't rush us through the process. I want to make a bedspread for my mother and all other videos were hard to follow along with.

[@nautikrallcrochet]

You're so very welcome! I'm glad it was helpful. A bedspread is quite the undertaking!! It'll be so so amazing--all the best, M

[@KonjikiKonjiki]

Thank you so much for this approach, I've been using self-striping yarn for squares lately and not having to adapt out the colour changes makes this so much more enjoyable. :)

[@letwins0513]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Mine came out with some big holes, but this is great! 😊

[@bonnienolan4526]

That is a beautiful granny square. I was in my teens when I learned to crochet. Thank you for this tutorial. It's a lovely granny square. I am going to try making it. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much for this great tutorial. Lovely square. I used a different colour of cotton yarn for every round, added another round to the "square" round, and made beautiful, fun dishcloth for a friend. Thank you again.

[@Stillan80sgirl]

This tutorial is amazing! I have tried granny squares in the past and didn't like the seams that would show. I tried other sunburst granny tutorials and they had the weird looking seams. I was about to give up when I found your video. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Please keep creating granny square tutorials with your method to avoid the seams. :)

Using this video to start my 1st crochet project. Love that you have a solid sunburst tutorial. I don’t want to mix colors until I am familiar with the stitches.

Thank you ,for the easy instructions. It does make a difference, I have 2 or 3 blankets that are kind of loose,and gaping. I'm not so proud of them. I had intended then for family. But thay are still in my storage. I like the way it turned out. ❤❤❤

Hi Marie! Here’s a bigger sunburst video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4LOcn-jech2eKs And if you want to make it even bigger than that you just continue on with regular granny square stitches every round (3DC in each sp, 3 DC, ch 3, 3DC in corners) Best! M

Hi, I made a few of the large sunburst granny squares following your video and just realized I should have been doing the continuous join as you go to connect them. Do you have a video showing how to connect the complete squares or did I mess myself up?

[@lauriehembree7925]

Thank you for this wonderful video. This was my first time making this pattern. I do have one question. Are you able to continue around the the square to increase its size? If so, how would I go about it. Thank you

[@nautikrallcrochet]

Hi Laurie, you can absolutely keep going around the square! It depends on how big you want to make your squares. But basically you’re going to finish your square round with the slip stitch…then slip stitch into the top of the next two stitches to get to the corner. Ch 2 to start your corner then work a regular granny square round. You don’t need any different/special stitches once it’s a square you just work regular granny clusters of dc. If you just want to make it a few rounds larger just continue on in this way. If you’d like to keep going and just make a giant granny square blanket or whatever-then I would flip the square each round so that the square doesn’t go wonky on you. For example: work the 4th round as is, then flip so wrong side is facing-ch 2 and work 2dc into space between clusters and continue working granny square round. Join round with sl stitch and then flip so the wrong side of the previous round is facing you and work another round. Hope this makes sense! M
