Recommended Yarn and Crochet Hooks

My absolute favorite yarn for this sunny square is Loopara milk cotton yarn - it's perfect for this project! The yarn's smooth texture and natural sheen make those sunflower petals really pop, while its soft touch makes every stitch a joy to work with. It's one of those yarns that just feels right from the first chain to the final weave-in.

For our cheerful sunflower, I'm using light brown for the center to mimic those rich sunflower seeds, bright yellow for those happy dancing petals, and cream for the delicate border. But don't feel limited - you could try dark brown with orange petals, or even go wild with pink petals for a fantasy flower! With a 2.0mm hook, whatever colors you choose will create those tight, neat stitches that really bring our sunflower pattern to life.

The best thing about granny squares? They're perfect for crafters of all levels! What I love most is how versatile they are - make just one for a sweet coaster, four for a charming cushion cover, or keep going until you have enough for a stunning blanket. Each square is like a tiny canvas of creativity!

How to Join Granny Squares

Granny squares are perfect for bags, clothing, and blankets. If you're thinking of making one with those squares, I'm excited to share my comprehensive guide on 11 Ways to Join Granny Squares with you! I've detailed every method I know and love - each brings its own special touch to your finished piece. Let me help you discover which one works best for you!

 

How to Change Colors in a Granny Square

Are you looking for a different color palette? I totally get it—it’s why I love crochet! If you’re not crazy about our color palette, I put together two color-changing techniques that I use for all of my projects. Let me show you how to make these color transitions smooth and professional so you can bring your unique, creative vision to life.

 

How to Weave in Ends Crochet Granny Square

The secret for professional-looking granny squares is all about how you weave in those ends. I'm sharing 3 ways to weave in ends with you! These are techniques I've perfected over years of crocheting and use in all my projects. I'll show you exactly how I secure my ends to make sturdy, polished pieces that last. Trust me, once you master these finishing methods, your granny squares will look absolutely stunning!

 

Care instructions

Let me share some care tips to keep your sunflower squares looking fresh and beautiful for years to come! Since we're using cotton yarn, these squares are actually quite easy to care for - one of the many reasons I love making them.

For washing, I always recommend hand washing with cool water and a gentle detergent. While our milk cotton yarn is machine washable, hand washing helps preserve those lovely bobble stitches that make our sunflower petals so special. Think of it as giving your creation a gentle spa day! Gently squeeze out excess water - never wring or twist, as this might distort those pretty petals we worked so hard to create.

When it comes to drying, lay your squares flat on a clean white towel. Gently reshape them while they're damp - this is the perfect time to make sure all your corners are crisp and your sunflowers are blooming beautifully. Avoid hanging them to dry as this might stretch them out of shape.

For storage, keep your squares in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent any color fading (especially important for those sunny yellow petals!). If you're storing multiple squares before joining them, stack them flat with tissue paper between layers. This prevents any catching or snagging of those dimensional bobble stitches.

One more little tip I've learned over the years - if your squares ever look a bit tired or squished (maybe after being packed away), a light steam with an iron held just above the surface (not touching!) will help those petals perk right back up. Just like a real sunflower reaching for the sun!
