A Detailed Guide to One-colored Sunburst Granny Square - Crochet Pattern

 

Hello my Dearest Readers,

Welcome back to Dreamy Diaries Saha! 

Today, we're diving into one of the most beautiful and texturally rich granny squares: 

One-Color Sunburst Granny Square. 

Forget mixing colors, this pattern proves that texture alone can make a statement!

We'll be transforming our yarn into a lovely square, perfect for cozy blankets, vibrant scarves, or anything that needs a touch of handmade warmth. 

Ready to "cook some yarn"? 

Let's get started!

Ingredients required:

• Yarn : As preferred in your color choice.
• Hook: Corresponding size
• Notions: Scissors and a tapestry needle for weaving ends.

Terminology: This pattern uses US Crochet Terms.

• Ch: Chain

• Sl St: Slip Stitch

• SC: Single Crochet

• DC: Double Crochet

• HDC: Half Double Crochet

• Puff St: Puff Stitch (Our special ingredient!)

• Bobble Stich: Another special ingredient! 😉

Round 1: The Foundation (The Magic Circle)

• Step : Start with a Magic Circle (or Magic Ring). Alternatively, Ch 4 and Sl St into the first chain to form a ring.

• Instructions: Ch 3 (counts as first DC), then make 11 DC into the magic circle. (Total 12 stitches).

• Close: Sl St into the top of the beginning Ch 3.

Round 2: Building the Base (16 DC)

• Step : Continue building the stitch count immediately after forming the magic circle base.

• Instructions: Ch 3 (counts as the first Double Crochet, or DC). Now, make 15 DC into your magic circle. (This results in a total of 16 stitches).

• Close: Sl St to the top of the 3rd chain in the beginning Ch 3 to join the round.

Round 3: The Sunburst Center (Puff Stitches)

• Step : We are now creating the Puff Stitches that form the textured center of the Sunburst.

• Instructions:

1. First Puff Stitch:

   • Ch 2 (This is your starting height, and does not count as a stitch).

   • Puff Stitch definition (3 pulls):

     • Yarn over (YO), insert hook into the same stitch as joining and pull up a loop. (3 loops on hook)

     • YO, insert hook into the same stitch and pull up another loop. (5 loops on hook)

     • YO, insert hook into the same stitch and pull up a final loop. (7 loops on hook)

   • YO and pull through all 7 loops.

   • Ch 1 to close the Puff Stitch.

2. Remaining Puff Stitches:

   • Work 15 more Puff Stitches in each of the next stitches from the previous round (one Puff Stitch per stitch).

   • Puff Stitch definition (3 pulls):

     • YO, insert hook into the next stitch and pull up a loop.

     • YO, insert hook into the same stitch and pull up another loop.

     • YO, insert hook into the same stitch and pull up a final loop. (7 loops on hook)

   • YO and pull through all 7 loops.

   • Ch 1 to close the Puff Stitch.

• Close:

1. Total Stitches: 16 Puff Stitches (separated by Ch 1 spaces).

2. Sl St into the first Ch 1 space (the one created after the first Puff Stitch) to join the round.

Round 4: Introducing Texture (Bobble Stitches)

• Step : This round features the Bobble Stitch (Bo St), working into the chain spaces from the previous round to create small, rounded bumps.

• Instructions

1. Starting Bobble Stitch:

   • Ch 2 (This is your starting height).

   • Work a Bobble Stitch in the same space you joined:

     • Definition (4 incomplete DCs): [Yarn over (YO), insert hook into the space, YO and pull up a loop, YO and pull through 2 loops] 4 times. (You will have 5 loops on your hook).

     • YO and pull through all 5 loops on your hook.

     • Ch 1 to close the Bobble Stitch.

2. Repeating Bobble Stitches:

   • Repeat the following sequence 15 more times:

     • Work one Bobble Stitch in the next Ch-1 space (the space between the next two Puff Stitches).

     • Ch 1 to close the Bobble Stitch.

   • (Remember: The starting Ch 2 acts as the beginning of the first Bobble, so you only need 15 more repeats.)

• Close

1. Total Stitches: 16 Bobble Stitches (separated by Ch 1 spaces).

2. Sl St into the first Ch-1 space (the space after your first Bobble Stitch) to join the round.

Round 5: The Transformation (Circle to Square)

• Step : This is the game-changer! We are establishing the four corners of the square by working into the chain spaces from the previous Bobble Stitch round. Note the use of Treble Crochet (TR) for the corners.

• Instructions

1. Start Corner 1: Work this into the first Ch-1 space where you just joined.

   • Ch 3 (counts as the first TR).

   • Make 2 TR in the same space.

   • Ch 2 (this is the corner chain).

   • Make 3 TR in the same space.

   • [First corner established: 3 TR, Ch 2, 3 TR]

2. Form Side 1: Work into the next three Ch-1 spaces to form the first side.

   • Make 3 DC (Double Crochet) in the next Ch-1 space.

   • Make 3 HDC (Half Double Crochet) in the following Ch-1 space (this is the center of the side).

   • Make 3 DC in the next Ch-1 space.

3. Corner 2: Work into the next Ch-1 space.

   • Make (3 TR, Ch 2, 3 TR) in the next Ch-1 space.

   • [You have now completed one full side and two corners.]

4. Repeat:

   • Repeat the sequence for Side 2 (3 DC, 3 HDC, 3 DC).

   • Work Corner 3 (3 TR, Ch 2, 3 TR).

   • Repeat the sequence for Side 3 (3 DC, 3 HDC, 3 DC).

   • Work Corner 4 (3 TR, Ch 2, 3 TR).

   • Repeat the sequence for Side 4 (3 DC, 3 HDC, 3 DC).

• Close

1. Sl St to the top of the beginning Ch 3 to join the round.

2. Result: You now have a completed square! You should have 4 corners and 4 sides (each side containing one group of 3 DC, one group of 3 HDC, and another group of 3 DC).

Congratulations!
