How to Crochet a Sunburst Granny Square and the "Join as You Go" Method (Easy)

[@PlayHookywithMe]

UPDATE: Hi everyone! This video has received a resurgence of interest so I wanted to let you know that I AM making this blanket and will show you the finished project in a few weeks. Here are some answers to your questions in the meantime. The yarn is "Feels Like Butta" and is a sport weight (Med 4) requiring a 4mm hook. I used a 3.75 mm which made each square 4x4 inches. I am making a 3' x 4' FT throw blanket (not including the border) and I will need 108 squares to do this ( width= 9 squares, height =12 squares). Each square takes about 23 yards of yarn. The skeins I have are 218 yards each so I will need 12 Skeins to make this size blanket. Hope

[@sammyr.1284]

Very hard working thank you 👏🏼

[@PlayHookywithMe]

@@sammyr.1284 it’s a lot of fun thank you 😀💕

[@marlap1566]

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!!!

[@victorialamarque-blair6289]

May I ask is that 12 skeins all up & as there’s 5 colours how many of each colour did you need

[@PlayHookywithMe]

@@victorialamarque-blair6289 12 skeins total varying the colors . When I bought the yarn at Michaels, the skeins were huge. Each was the equivalent of 3 skeins so I have essentially 15 skeins but definitely don’t need that much. So to answer your question, I would get two of each color (10) then choose a 6th color for the remaining 2 or maybe repeat 1 or 2 colors to reach 12.

[@deborahgrogan1919]

I haven't made a granny square in 50+ years but this beautiful pattern has made me rethink them. In my teens I made a blanket for my mom using the standard granny square but ran out of yarn. With no money for more yarn it became what my family jokingly called the "Half-gan". Although my mom has been gone for many years, it still lives on and has warmed laps of our entire extended family over the years. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I just may have to try them again! ♥️

Oh I'd like to add I have pets too and I found that there is a shed comb for animals that I use on mine and it has reduced them from shedding hair all over as I brush them once a week. You can find it in 1 pet store or online . Looks similar to a mini rake but gets all the loose hair. Have a blessed day 🙏❤️🌈

Hi Roz..Best Granny Tutorial ever!! I learned basic crochet 2 yrs ago- after knitting throughout my life- Im now 65 & i was intimidated to try any Granny Sq pattern- I couldnt get the"ring" idea..Today I sat down, determined to CAL with you this gorgeous sunburst..and Voila- 2hrs later- I completed my first Granny- learned the "ring" your way- just a center really- and I had REAL FUN..I love your method of teaching..I like how you stacked the basic cirles- to crochet the edges later..I like to complete projects- and I had just finished a crocheted tassel afghan 48X60 in..and I wanted to make something that can be pastels- like yours- or boho colors- or even made in OMBRE colors- cuz I have multiple stashes in different clors.. and I just had so much fun- this was a starting point- and Im going to make more squares & use your BLOCK STITCH BORDER because I love how it looks..Im so excited,,Thanks for making this so easy..I cant wait to see what I make!!

I love this tutorial and I LOOOOVE the colors you chose! I love doing starburst granny squares, but I keep having one issue: when I do my round of puff stitches, I tend to get a gap underneath it, between the puff stitch and double crochet. Your rows are all so tight and neat, and fit against each other so nicely! I'm wondering if I'm pulling too hard on the puff stitch, or if my double crochets aren't tight enough...do you have any words of wisdom you could pass on to a newbie crocheter?

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Thank you so much - gosh I have to admit I’m not really sure what could be causing that. It could be an issue with tension - maybe a smaller hook size to see if that tightens it up for you ? I use a 3.75 mm eventhough my yarn calls for a 4mm. Maybe someone will read this and have some insights. Keep me posted if you find a resolution ❤️

That method of making the first puff stitch gives a much neater finish.

This helped so much I wanted to learn how to do it and I finally found a good video

I’m so glad!

Thank you so much, Preeti 😀💕

Just love the colour combination 🥰

[@Avy1207]

Thanks to you, my first attempt done, just 9 squares ... not as perfect as yours but feeling happy to have at least started. ❤️

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Wonderful, I’m so happy I got to be a part of your project! I’m sure they are fantastic 😀💕👏🏻

[@Avy1207]

@@PlayHookywithMe am happy but the squares need more perfection at the corners.Your colours and the work itself is so perfect and I love watching this. Now I am trying to get the same yarn you have suggested from Amazon, (into India) but they cost a fortune :-) ...anyway am hoping I will be able to do a better and a slightly bigger project...thank you so so much for a lovely tutorial and for inspiring many ...❤️

[@Michegrey]

Yes thank you!!! The last tutorial I saw she did treble crochet all around and my square looked wonky!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Oh good! Yes sometimes it just takes a little tweak in the height of the stitches to fix things! Glad the video helped ! 😀🧶💕

[@bbm2796]

I will definitely try this! I’m glad I found your video.. clear instructions easy to follow.. thank you 😊

I find it interesting that so many crocheters seem to prefer yarns of man-made fibres. As a beginner I wonder if it's simply a matter of cost and availability, or if there is some other benefit to using acrylic or polyester yarns? Perhaps it's easier to work with, perhaps it gives smoother stitches, I don't know. Anyway, it's a pretty pattern and you've definitely made it seem simple enough to be achievable even for a beginner. (Well, re-beginner; I did a lot of crocheting when I was around 8, but that's 3½ decades ago! So I'm starting with the basics before I move on to crocheting lace with my 1mm hook - it was my favourite as a child, but I had small hands back then...)

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I think you brought up some good reasons why many choose the synthetic yarns. Another one is often people are allergic to wool so there's that as well. For me, it was complete ignorance. I wasn't fully aware of the different qualities and found a crocheter that I was coveting so bought the yarn she was using. I'm like you, I learned on the very fine yarn. My mum taught me how to make doilies and I LOVE working with the smaller yarn. Right now I'm making a blanket with fingering weight cotton yarn and I am enjoying it so much. I think people think I'm crazy but I love the delicate result. So glad to see you here and thank you for the lovely , interesting message. xx
