This pattern is perfect for confident beginners and experienced crocheters alike. Each square starts with a circle of bright, stash-busting color that’s transformed into a square using easy stitches.
The visual effect is stunning, but the pattern itself is relaxing and rhythmic to work up. You can play with bold color combinations, soft pastels, or even a monochromatic look to suit your style.
Once your squares are made, you can lay them out on a flat surface and experiment with color placement. You’ll be surprised how much moving just one square can shift the whole design!
Use your preferred method to join the squares. It’s completely up to you. This pattern includes clear instructions, photo support, and tips to help make the process smooth from start to finish.
Whether you’re using up leftover yarn or treating yourself to new colors, the Sunburst Garden Blanket is a creative and satisfying project. Download the free pattern below and start stitching your own little garden of sunshine today.
