Sunnyday Blanket Square Pattern is an all-rounder granny square with many uses and a perfect crochet square to be used in many DIY crochet projects like, cardigans, crochet pants, pillows, and bags, it works up into a solid blanket-type blanket with very limited lacy spaces.

Materials required for crochet project

I add these pattern requirements as a simple guide to what I have used in the example pattern as well as some suggestions that I might think will work if the required materials are not obtainable. I often get requests on what yarn I have used and what color, so I hope this section helps.

Using a 4.5mm crochet hook you will end up with pretty nine-inch squares, and is a comfortable size for any squares blanket crochet project.

Yarn Usage :
+- 500m / 545 yards to complete 3 to 4 large squares, depending on the number of colors used per square.
Square size: 30 x 30 cm / 11 x 11 inches, based on using a crochet hook size of: 3.5 mm

For the crochet square pattern in the photo example, I used six bright colors: Bright yellow, Burnt orange, Deep red, Sea blue, Light denim blue, and natural cotton white. I used 6 skeins of yarn of 85m / 90 yards of yarn and could easily create 3 squares, but I had some leftover blue colored yarn, so if you switch up the center colors of yarn to use more blue colors, or use a more even distribution of colors in your rows, you can easily end up with 4 crochet squares using the above-mentioned quantity of yarn.

Cotton crochet yarn for sunhine granny square

Suggested yarn for pattern.
Photo tutorial and square examples are made up of cotton yarn, this is only used as a suggestion, any yarn of your choice can be used.
Lightweight yarn using a smaller crochet hook will make a smaller square, and heavier yarn using a larger crochet hook will result in a larger square.

Pattern instructions

All crochet squares are worked in the round, ensure that your final row count per side is correct or you will struggle to join your block at a late stage.

Gauge is not important, but it's best to stick to the same yarn weight and crochet hook throughout making your squares, or your squares would not match up.
