I first designed and published the Sunny Sunflowers circle motif in October 2011. In early 2020 I decided to update the pattern by adding a few extra rounds to change it from a circular motif to a square so that it would be perfect for making cushion covers or blankets.
This pattern has been created in support of the Samaritans charity. Your donation in purchasing the pattern through my Ravelry account is appreciated by those in need.

I wish you many happy hours crocheting a cosy blanket from this design which has a very special place in my heart.” Karen x

You will need:

4.5mm hook
Stylecraft Special Aran yarn, 100 g balls in Saffron, Pistachio, Meadow, Dark Brown and Spice

For the blanket shown in the picture, made from nine rows of seven squares plus the border, I used approximately:

Spice x 7 balls, Meadow x 4 balls, Saffron x 6 balls, Pistachio x 4 balls, Dark Brown x 1 ball

Size of each square when completed:
16.5cm x 16.5cm.

Measurements and amount of yarn required may vary according to your working tension and the weight and brand of yarn or size of hook used.
