Crochet Sun Granny Square

" The **sun granny square** is a cheerful twist on the classic crochet square, featuring a radiant center that looks just like the sun. Whether you're making a baby blanket, a tote bag, or a wall hanging, this motif brings warmth and personality to any handmade project. What makes the sun granny square so unique is its bright, circular center that mimics sunshine beaming out into the square shape. Often worked in yellows and oranges, it’s a great way to play with color and create something that truly stands out. You can keep the traditional square structure or experiment with soft ruffles and bold outlines to give your sun more dimension. This square is a favorite for seasonal projects — especially in spring and summer — and works beautifully when combined with floral or nature-themed squares. It’s also a great stash-buster, using only small amounts of yarn for each color section. One of the best things about this motif is its versatility. You can stitch multiple sun squares together for a full-size afghan or create just one and turn it into a coaster, patch, or pocket detail. It’s a small project that can be as simple or detailed as you’d like, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced crocheters alike. If you’re looking to add a touch of joy and brightness to your crochet collection, the sun granny square is the perfect place to start. It’s creative, charming, and full of good vibes — just like sunshine should be. "
