This crochet sunflower granny square reminds me of Spring and Summer breeze. Compare to the wild daisy granny square, this pattern is a bit complicated since you have to crochet more petals with slip stitches. However, who doesn’t love to add a little sunshine on a fresh project.

Materials: (I used)
5mm crochet hook
Worsted weight yarn: yellow, brown, green and dark green
Scissors
Yarn needle
Note: I used chainless starting dc/tr for every first dc of each round instead of ch3/ ch4. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch2/ ch3 then dc/ tr into same stitch ( counted as 1st dc/ tr ). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc/ tr into 1st stitch for every first dc/ tr of each round, so just choose your best technique ?
This pattern is crocheted continually from flower to the square bed. Use any hook size you want for a bigger or smaller square, just choose a yarn type that matches. Steam block your finished squares.
Skill level: Intermediate
Pattern:

Square bed: (Pic no. 3,4,5,6)
R1: Work into back – loop behind the flower. Use green yarn, join yarn into any back – loop st, tr into 1st stitch, 2 dc into same st, ch1, skip 1 st, 3 dc into next st, ch1, skip 1 st, 2 dc into next st, tr into same st, ch3, skip 1 st * tr into next st, 2 dc into same st, ch1, skip 1 st, 3 dc into next st, ch1, skip 1 st, 2 dc into next st, tr into same st, ch3, skip 1 st* repeat ** 3 times.

This sunflower granny square is a little bigger than the wild daisy granny square. So … I created another daisy granny square with the same size. It’s a big daisy not a little wild daisy on a green square bed. Simply crochet ch6 instead of ch4 for each petals.
With white yarn, crochet all into front – loop only * ch6, sc into 2nd ch from hook, hdc across, sl into next st* repeat ** 12 times around.
The square bed is exactly the same as Wild daisy granny square plus 1 more round of granny square crochet.
See, same size they are. 3D daisy and sunflower granny squares 🙂
Happy crocheting xD
