Learn How to Crochet a Sunburst Granny Square

Hi Lynne it’s really difficult to answer this question as it would depend on the yarn you use, your hook size and your tension. If you do a some squares you may then be able to work out how many balls you would need.:)

Thank you 🙂

Hi Meas

You’re very welcome, I’m so glad you like the pattern It does depend on which yarn you want to use and which hook size, but as a rule of thumb I would advise to get one ball of each colour and one or two balls of the main joining colour. You can always buy more but sometimes the dye lots differ and then you could end up with slightly different shades, so best to buy all together if possible.

Hope this helps.

Hi denna I used one ball of each and a 4mm hook size. However the amount of yarn you use will depend on how big you want the blanket to be and will also depend on your tension 🙂

Hi Chris I can’t really answer these questions for you as it would totally depend on what yarn you use, your hook size and your tension. Maybe you could make a square measure it and then work out how much yarn and how many squares you will need from there. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help. Good luck with your project and let me know how you get on:)

You’re very welcome 🙂

I’m really happy you liked this pattern I would recommend blocking each square individually as this will make it easier to line them up when you start joining them.

Hi Sangita, thank you so much for your kind words and for voting for me I’ve had a look at the instructions on my website and it appears there are some errors with the formatting, so thanks for bringing this to my attention. The instructions that are listed as rounds 5 to 8 are actually the instructions for each side of round 4. I will have this edited now

Hi Clare this would obviously depend on how big you want the blanket to be along with the yarn you use, your hook size and your tension. Maybe you could do a few squares till you get to the width you want then work it out from their ? I wish you the best of luck 🙂

Hi Carla You’re very welcome The stitches in round three of the pattern should all be cluster stitches – it appears you’ve picked up on a typo in the pattern so I’m really sorry that I’ve caused you confusion! I’ll have this amended asap.

This will depend on your hook size and the yarn you are using 🙂

All the details for the pattern can be found on my blog at bellacocococrochet.com 🙂

Hi Mary have you tried to copy and paste ?

Hi Mary Thank you and the border round the blanket is crab stitch 🙂

You’re welcome, I’m glad you like the pattern You can find some hints and tips for tension in my tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRVA_4uNsNw&t=1s but as with most things, the more you practise the better you will get and you should find that after completing a few squares, your stitches begin to look a lot more uniform. You can also try skipping the chain one in between each cluster of stitches as this can pull the stitches tighter and make them look neater.

In any case I would try not to overthink it too much, as you should find that blocking your squares once they are finished will sort it out anyway To do this you just need to stretch and pin out the squares into shape, and for acrylic use an iron held a couple of inches above to carefully blast steam to set the stitches into shape.

Hope this helps and good luck!
