Create an incredibly pretty sunburst granny square blanket with this free pattern featuring bright floral colors. With 24 unique color combinations, you’ll make two squares of each, totaling 48 sunburst squares. The finished blanket measures about 40×55 inches – ideal as a lightweight lap blanket for cool spring evenings. For a polished look and tight, neat squares, use a smaller hook than usual with worsted weight yarn. The blocks are joined using the continuous join-as-you-go method, forming an inner “sashing” between each square. The final border includes three rounds of single crochet, with the last two worked in the back loop only for a lovely ridged texture. Made with #4 worsted weight yarn and a 4.5mm hook, this colorful blanket provides cozy warmth without being too heavy!
