sunburst granny blanket

Here is the Sunburst Granny Square Blanket I have mentioned 2 weeks ago in the color combination tutorial. Wow…. finally, I have finished this blanket after the took off last year!!! Not that it took me a year to complete it, it is because I stopped after I have finished all the squares. The reason behind this was because I couldn’t make up my mind which type of joining technique should I use to join the granny squares.

granny square blanket

In my previous granny projects, I have used the “join-as-you-go” method (in this pattern) and “back-loop-join” (in this pattern). Now, I wanted to explore a new join method, so I finally decide to use “flat-slip-stitch-join” (tutorial here) for this Sunburst Granny Square Blanket. Love the flat seam line created by this joining method. Click here to find out other methods you could use.

The yarns I used in this blanket are Lion Brand’s BabySoft Acrylic Yarn. Even they are acrylic/nylon mix yarns but they are soft and comfortable, just nice for an air-conditioning room. I chose this range of yarn because it has many pastel colors to choose from.

If you are not into a huge blanket, you may adapt this method to crochet a smaller granny square blanket. It is great as a gift to the newborn during a baby shower, or as a throw on the couch or cover for pillow, etc. For the smaller blanket, you need fewer yarn colors to crochet. Read this tutorial to check on how many colors to use to make your desire number of squares.

granny-pattern-1

The yarns I used are Lion Brand’s BabySoft Acrylic Yarn, 8 colors (3/4 ball each) and white (9 balls). The colors are bluebell, pastel blue, pastel pink, lemonade pink, melon, pastel yellow, pistachio, lavender (note: Some of the colors might have been obsoleted).
Pick 3 colors of your choice plus a white to make a sunburst granny square.
Refer above crochet pattern to crochet the Sunburst Granny Square. Refer to the photos below for the progress and tip on how to hide yarn ends while you crochet.

 
granny-pattern-2

Crochet round 1 of the granny square.
You will come to the slit knot area after you have crochet about 6 dc, guide the yarn end around the ring, and crochet to hide it in between the stitches.
Bring the yarn end up, lay between the yarn and the hook when you do the last stitch. This will latch the yarn end in between the stitch.
You will have 2 yarn ends at the top of the round after you have finished this round.

 
granny-pattern-3

Crochet round 2 of the granny square.
After the ch3, bring the yarn end up, lay between the yarn and the hook just like the previous round, continue with your dc stitches, this will latch the yarn end on the top of the round.
As you crochet, guide the round 1 yarn ends along the top of the round 1, crochet as usual and the yarn ends will be hidden between the stitches.

 
granny-pattern-4

Crochet round 3 of the granny square.
Repeat the same on hiding the yarn ends of round 2 when you crochet round 3.

 
granny-pattern-5

Crochet round 4 of the granny square. Repeat the same on hiding the yarn ends of round 3 when you crochet round 4.
In order to make the pattern easier to read, I used the terms Granny Cluster and Granny Corner (refer to the above note for the pattern) for the white part.

 
granny-pattern-6

Crochet round 5 of the granny square.
Since there is no change in yarn color, place the white yarn end on top of the round 4 and crochet to hide it in the stitches.
As you can see that there is only 1 yarn-end after you have finished the granny square. Pic 3 is the back of the square.
Pull the diagonal corners of the square to make them squarish. You may block them in batches with the wet-blocking method if the dry pull method is not working for your squares.

 
join-granny-square-blanket-b

Since this project is going to take a while to finish (big blanket), store your squares neatly in a covered container, avoid sunlight, moisture, and dust.

 
join-granny-square-blanket-c

With 8 colors plus a white as the base, I was able to crochet a total of 336 non-repetitive granny square, a total of 56 stacks with 6 squares on each stack.
Read more on how to plan your squares.

 
join-granny-square-blanket-a

Randomly place the squares on the floor with 16 x 21 squares. You may alter the squares to make a more even color spread or leave it really random.

 
join-granny-square-blanket-1

Pick up row by row and stack them up in order with 21 squares in 1 stack.
Tie them up and label them 1 to 16.

 
join-granny-square-blanket-2

At the beginning of joining, take 2 stacks of the squares and start joining.
I used the flat slip stitch joint method (tutorial, here) to join up my squares.
After you have finished joining the first 2 rows continue the same method to add in the 3rd stack.

 
join-granny-square-blanket-3

This is how it looks like after a few rows of joining.
Note that it is just a horizontal line, you will need to do the cross line after that to finish the whole blanket.

 
join-granny-square-blanket-4

After all the granny squares have been joined up.

 
join-granny-square-blanket-5

A closer look at the granny square after joining up.

 
crochet border

Proceed to make the border with single crochet on the back loop only, crochet 5 rounds.
Every time you come to the corner of the blanket, 2sc in each st on the 2 corner stitches of the blanket.
Wash the blanket according to the instruction on the yarn label before the first use. You may lightly press it with a warm iron if needed.

    Such a beautiful pattern, I have learned to crochet in lockdown and am going to try 24 squares for a baby blanket but I’m sure it won’t be as even and neat as yours. Thank you for publishing this

    Hi! I am just learning how to crochet, I am doing a cardi with a base pattern which is so similar to this. Actually, te granny squares are the same, except from the last white round… Now, I joined them placing two squares face-to-face or back-to-back (depending on if I wanted to have an embossed or debossed border) joining the inner loop only. When I need to do the border, it ruffles in correspondence of these joins, and the finish is more curvy than flat. Looking at your pics, it looks like yours starts as a wavey edge too, then turns flat on the last rows… Not sure though, do u maybe have any tips? How many stitches do I need to consider in the joining seam between two rows of squares? Hopefully I managed to give you an idea, I am not a native English speaker! Thank you a lot!

      Hi Daphne,
      Regarding your question, firstly, you need to block all granny squares before joining them up if they don’t hold the shape in a square. Secondly, when you join the granny squares, just crochet 1 stitch for a stitch. Thirdly, the tension of your stitches must be consistent throughout the border, however, if it starts to distort, adjust your tension to either tighten or loosen so that you can get it even out. Hope these tips help.

    Hello, I just love your blanket but I must admit I am having difficulty crocheting in the strands of yarn at the top of the round so I don’t have to sew them in later. You would’nt be a darling and have done a video tutorial on it would you. I would find it so helpful.

    I am a bit confused that you say you only needed 9 balls of white to do 336 squares, rounds 4 and 5 plus joining and border?

    I have started the white, and after 9.5 squares had to start a new ball.

    Bit confused!

      If you are using the same yarn from Lion Brand as I’d used, the amount stated as 9 balls (1 ball is 140gram, 420 meter) is correct. If you are not using the same yarn, you will need different quantity of ball as stated above.

    I am very new to crochet and very confused by your pattern, but determined to hgave a go, it is so pretty. I am taking DC to mean USA double crochet or in other words UK treble, also you start with a slip knot not a loop yet you have no hole in the middle but I do. Also when you do a slip stitch at end do I have to do another to fasten off or will the slip stitch in the pattern keep it secure? I am using 5 colours and reckon if I do 360 squares that woulkd be okay for a single bed 3’6″ wide? Thanks!!

      Hi Katrina, I used the first chain to be the “ring” for the entire first round. Since there are 12 dc (including the chains at the beginning of the round) in the chain, it is so packed that you will not have any hole.
      You just need to pull the slip stitch tight enough so that it won’t come loose. Keep the yarn tail long to prevent it from unravel just in case the yarn really come loose.
      Since everyone’s square comes in different sizes, I can’t be sure if your blanket will come out according to the size you want. In order to make sure what size of blanket you will get, crochet a square and measure the dimension, multiple with the number of squares you intend to crochet for row and column, you will get the dimension of your blanket. Add at least 6″ at each side of the 3’6″ bed to get the size of the blanket. You may use the border to make up a small additional width and length for your blanket.
      Hope these info help.

        Thank you so much. I am well into the blanket now. I have done 216 rounds 1,2&3, another 144 to go. I worked out that there are 60 unique colour combinations, six of each will make 360.

        I hope to finish the rounds by next week then start on rounds 4 & 5. The blanket is for my 14th month old grandaughter who is still in a cot but will probably be i a bed by the time I finish!

    Hi. I followed your pattern to make my first ever crochet project, thank you. Yours is beautiful, I would never have enough pAtience for a blanket that big. I did 30 squareS to make a baby blanket. I’m disappointed with my border though. Yours is lovely and flat, mine has ruffled like there it is too wide for he sides. Can you shed any light on where I went wrong? Thanks.

      April 10, 2016 at 10:35 pm

      Dear Caroline.
      The wavelike ruffle was due to different tension of your blanket compare to mine. Depending on how serious the wave is, you may skip picking up a stitch evenly through out the border. On the other words, it means you need less stitches on the border if it ruffled up.
      Hope this help.

      Hi Lucinda, I think the edge will probably take about half to 1 ball of 100g yarn. I am not sure as I didn’t note it down, this is just an estimate. Always spare more yarns, it is better than don’t have enough when you are about to finish it.

    This is beautiful, I’ve already started mine with Red Heart Super saver and I’m planning on selling it to get my best friend a plain ticket to Mexico (where I live).
    I was just wondering how long it took you to finish this project. I was exploring around tumblr and there were projects that took 2.5 years.
    Thank you

      Hi Feerci, I can’t give you an exact date it takes to finish the whole blanket since I paused half way through out the process. Not only that I paused half way, I also did the project “part-timely” while having other projects in the same time line. However, I do estimated that you probably need at least 4 to 6 months to finish it if you are working on it solely. Hope this helps and happy crochet!!!

    My squares I worked 16 of the same colors and graduated from darkest to lightest on the outer circle of every row, with each square trimmed in white. So in all I have 21 different starburst graduating in dark to light up the blanket. My squares came out 5″ square making my blanket 80×126″ Perfect for a queen sized bed. I used I Love this Cotton from Hobby Lobby as I’m allergic to acrylic yarn. We actioned this blanket for a raffle fundraiser for Georgie’s Breast Friends – Free Crochet Breast Forms for Mastectomy Patients, and raised 10,500.00!!! and sold tickets 3 for 20.00. 2nd place was a sweater, and 3rd was a throw. The winner of the Starburst Blanket was thrilled beyond words! Thank you for helping make our fundraiser a roaring success!

    Hi I wanted to try your pattern but I would like to try an throw on a smaller scale first. I was wondering how many squares I should across?

      Hi Rachel, the quantity of squares you need to make a throw is all depending on how big you want your throw to be, also, how big is your square comes out. Let say, each of your square is 4″ x 4″ and you want your throw to be 54″ x 38″, then you need to prepare 13 x 9 = 117 squares up front. Join them up in 13 x 9 squares then add 1″ border to it. Hope this helped πŸ™‚

    Given pictures it looks like you slipstiched the back loops from the front. It’s my favorite join I think. Sits completely flat, and it looks very nice as it frames the square!

    Hi, this is wonderful and so clever! Please can you tell me the yarn you use, as I am from the uk, is it what we would call 4ply or is it double knit?
    Many many thanks

      I used Lion Brand’s BabySoft yarn and it Light Worsted Yarn, with 4mm crochet hook. I read the yarn info and yes it is DK equivalent. Here is the link for more info about the yarn, http://www.lionbrand.com/yarns/babysoft.htm.
