Inspired by Van Gogh's famous painting, sunflowers always make me feel so happy, I love the cheery brightness of the petals and the intricate honeycomb effect of the seed head. I used 12 Sunflower Granny Squares joined together, with big poofy tassels at the ends to make this Sunflower Granny Square Scarf.

Okay, so we're ready to start our first granny square
0:05
So you'll be starting with a slip knot on your hook. And we're going to chain four
0:13
One, two, three and four. Now we're going to insert our hook into the very first chain
0:24
and we're going to join with a slip knot to form a ring
0:29
Now we chain one. And now we're going to start working into the ring
0:36
So the hook into the centre there. And we're going to form our first single crochet
0:42
Then we're going to do another single crochet into the ring. And we're going to continue with single crochets into the ring
0:49
until we have done a total of 12 single crochet. So we've got one, two, three, four
0:59
five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, let's just move those around a bit, eleven
1:20
and twelve, and now we're going to join with a slip stitch into that first single crochet
1:26
Like so. Now if you've worked over your tail as you went you can just give that a little bit of a tug and that will tighten up that centre hole nicely for you
1:36
Okay so now we're ready to start round two. So we will chain one and we're going to do a single crochet into the same stitch
1:46
So insert a hook into the stitch and single crochet. Then we're going to chain three. One, two, two
1:56
three and we're going to do a single crochet into the very next stitch and then
2:04
chain three again one two three and a single crochet into the next
2:10
stitch and chain three one two three so we're going to continue around
2:18
putting a single crochet into every stitch and a chain three so I will
2:25
finish that off and meet you back once we get round to the end of the round. Okay, so we're just going to finish off this round now
2:36
So we've ended with our last chain three and then we're going to slip stitch into this first single crochet at the beginning of the round
2:46
Okay, so now you should have 12 single crochets that are gone all by the round plus 12 chain three spaces
2:55
count those one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, and twelve
3:03
I do recommend that you count at this point just to make sure you have the right amount because otherwise once you get further on with a square it's not going to work out
3:11
Okay, so we're ready for around three. So we're going to start off by slip stitching into that first chain space
3:19
There. And we're going to continue this round. It's going to be pretty much the same as the previous round
3:24
sorry, chain one, single crochet into that first space and chain three
3:33
Single crochet into the next space and chain three. And single crochet into the next space and chain three
3:47
So you're going to continue all the way around with a single crochet and a chain three in each of those spaces
3:54
meet you back towards the end of the round. Okay, so here we are at the end of the round
4:02
We have worked our single crochet and our chain three into each space. So we've ended
4:08
with the chain three and we're going to slip stitch into that first single crochet
4:17
And that's completed our round. Okay, so it's ready for round four. We're going to start round four
4:24
by slip stitching into that first chain space. And now we're going to start working our puff stitches
4:31
So to start off, you will just want to bring your hook up just to the kind of height that you want your puff stitch to be
4:39
And this is just for the first stitch. Then you're going to yarn over
4:45
I like to hold on to that yarn over with my finger
4:48
I just find it easier. So you're then going to insert your hook into the chain space
4:53
pull up a loop. And then you pull that loop up to that height that you want that stitch
4:58
So that first loop that we pulled up counts as one. This counts as two
5:02
So we're going to repeat this four times. So it's yarn over. Hook through the chain space
5:08
Pull up a loop. And pull that loop up just a little bit, get a little bit of height there
5:14
So that's three. We've done. We need to do one more. Yarn over. Pull up a loop
5:19
And pull that loop up to that height And then we going to chain Sorry we going to yarn over and pull through all of those loops And then we going to chain one to lock that in place
5:32
And there's our puff stitch. Okay, so we're going to work two puff stitches into each of these chain spaces
5:39
So let me show you how to do another one. We yarn over through the chain space, pull up a loop
5:45
and pull that loop up to the height you want your stitch. So that's one
5:48
and we do that again. Two. Three. And four. Yarn over and pull through
5:59
all of those loops and then chain one to lock that stitch in place
6:05
So you want to continue around putting two puff stitches into each of these spaces
6:12
Okay, so here we are you. Okay, so here we are at the ends of that round
6:20
We've put two puff stitches into each of those chain spaces. Now don't be worried if it looks a little bit roughly and wobbly
6:28
Once you add the final two rounds after the fourth, the next two rounds
6:33
it will straighten itself out nicely and especially after blocking as well
6:37
So we're going to finish off that round by joining into the top of that first puff stitch with a slip stitch
6:42
And then we're going to fasten off this colour. colour. I cut your yarn and make sure you fasten off securely
6:59
We don't want any unravelling happening. And there we go. Now I like to weave my ends in as I go along and then work over them on the next following round
7:12
So I put my hook in and then I'm going to. and just weave in just for a few stitches
7:24
Let's first go one way and then a couple of stitches back the other way
7:29
Then once you work the next round over the top that's going to be securely locked in and
7:33
that end won't be going anywhere. Okay. So we're ready to start round five
7:40
Okay, so we're ready to join in our new colour. You can join in your new colour in any of these spaces between puff stitches
7:48
It doesn't matter where you start, any of those will do. So you put your hook in the chain space, pull your yarn through
7:57
Now we're going to chain two to start. This counts as the first part of our cluster stitch
8:06
This would be a beginning cluster if you're looking at the written pattern. So we will yarn over
8:11
And we're going to go as if we're going to make a double crochet into that chain's piece. into that chain space. So hook into the chain space, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through
8:20
two loops. Now normally we would yarn over and pull through again to finish off the stitch
8:25
but we're going to leave those hooks, leave those chains on our hook. I'm going to do the same
8:31
thing two more time, so it's yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull through two loops
8:38
and one more, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, and then, and then
8:43
over and pull through two loops. So now we have four loops on a hook for four double crochet
8:50
stitches. Well, that's half, half of the stitch we've done. So now we go to yarn over and pull through
8:56
all of those loops. And then chain one to lock that stitch off. So I'm going to show you how
9:03
to do that stitch one more time. So this time, we are not starting on the yarn again. So we don't
9:07
need to do that chain two there. So we're just going to yarn over and go as if we're doing a double
9:12
crochet into this next space but don't finish off that stitch you just do the
9:18
first part of the stitch so you do that three more times yarn over pull up a loop
9:25
yarn over pull through two loops yarn over pull up a loop
9:31
yarn over pull through two loops and one more yarn over pull up a loop
9:36
yarn over, pull through two loops. So now we have the four loops from our stitch, but we also have that one loop which is our original starting chain this time
9:48
So now we will chain it, the yarn over and pull through all of those five loops
9:56
Chain one to lock it in place. Okay, so you're going to continue to work these cluster stitches into each space
10:06
round and I will meet you back up when we get to the beginning. Okay, we're at the end
10:17
of the round now so we're going to join into top of that first cluster with a slip stitch
10:21
so we finish off our round and then we're going to fasten off. So we've cut the yarn
10:31
and make sure you fasten off. There we go. There we go
10:43
And just weave your end in before you start the next round Okay so we ready to start round six
10:55
So we're using the cream yarn. So you're going to join your yarn in any of the spaces between your clusters
11:01
So put your hook through, pull your yarn through. And then you're going to chain four to start
11:11
So that's one, two, three. three, four. So this counts as your first treble crochet. So then we're going to work
11:24
two more treble crochets into that same space. So you're yarning over twice, hook through
11:31
the space, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull through two, yarn over, pull through two
11:35
yarn over, pull through two. And we'll do that one more time
11:43
And then we're going to chain two. So this is where we're making our corner
11:53
We're going to continue working into this space. We're going to do three treble crochets now into that space. One
12:13
and three. So there we have, that is our first corner there made
12:25
So we continue working round. Into the next space, we're going to put three double crochets
12:33
There's one. Two. and three. In our next space we're going to put three half double crochets
12:50
So that's one, two, and three, and three, and three. In the next space, three single crochet. one
13:08
oops two three so in the next space we're going to put three half double crochet one two three
13:28
in the next space three double crochet one two
13:38
three in our next space we're going to work our second corner so we're going to put three
13:47
treble crochet chain two and three treble crochet all into that same space one
14:05
There's our three trebles, chain two, and three more trebles
14:16
One, two, and three. One, two, and three
14:31
there you can see there's the first side of our square we've got a nice
14:39
square shape now with the two corners so you need to continue around the rest
14:45
of the square so we will have three double crochet three half double
14:53
crochet three single crochet three half double crochet three double crochet and
14:58
then the next corner will be three trebles chain two and three trebles. So you work that along each side and I will meet you back once we get round to the end of the round
15:11
Okay, so here we are at the end of the round. We have worked all the way around the sunflower and now we have a nice
15:19
square shape. So we're going to join with a slip stitch to the top of that first chain three in there
15:28
and then we can fasten off. So once you've finished your first square, you're going to need to make 11 more of these
15:46
You'll need 12 sunflower granny squares in total to make your scarf
15:54
Now I recommend you either can block your individual squares or you can block your individual squares or you can
16:01
You can, once you've sewn them all together or crochet them together, you can block the finished scarf
16:05
It's entirely up to you, whichever you prefer. So I know a lot of people like to block the individual squares first before joining Okay so once you finished all of your 12 squares you going to want to join them together So I joined 11 of my squares together
16:23
and I'm ready to join the final square. Now I like to crochet them together
16:28
This gives a really nice, strong join, and it's also quite flexible
16:33
I use single crochet to join, but you can use a slip stitch to join, or you can sew your squares together, whichever you prefer
16:39
If you're going to join them the same way that I do mine, I will show you how to join
16:45
So we've got two squares that we're going to join. This is the right side
16:50
You want to put the right sides together. I'm going to see on my end still there
16:56
So with right sides together, we want to get those two corners
17:02
and that's where we're going to join our yarn. So using the same colour yarn as you used for the last round
17:08
or the last round of the squares. Put your hook through both of those corner loops
17:15
Pull your yarn through and join that with a slip stitch. And then we're going to put a single crochet in that space as well
17:31
Like that, just pull that tight. Okay, so now we're going to start working through our stitches in
17:38
both of the squares. Now I like to work through both loops on the stitch. So you're going to put your hook through
17:47
the first stitch on the top square and then you want to look for that first stitch
17:54
on the bottom square. You want to put your hook through both of those. And then we're going to work
17:58
a single crochet stitch like so. And then we'll look for that next stitch and I hook through
18:08
Find the next stitch on the bottom square, put our hook through, and then work our single crochet
18:15
So you want to continue putting single crochets all the way along the edge of your square
18:22
working through both pieces of fabric. Okay, I'll meet you when I get back to the end
18:29
Okay, so here we are. We've put single crochet all the way along in each stitch, working through both pieces
18:34
and we've just reached the corner. so we're going to put our final single crochet into that corner space working through both of those corner spaces
18:43
like so and then we'll fasten off so you're going to want to do this with all of your 12 squares
18:57
so they're all nicely joined together and so they should look something like this once they're joined
19:06
Okay, so once all your squares are joined, we're then going to work a border of a single crochet around the entirety of the scarf
19:18
So you can join your yarn anywhere along the side of your scarf
19:25
Join with a slip stitch. And then we're going to put a single crochet into that same space
19:33
to that same stitch, sorry, there we go. So we want to put single crochet into each stitch
19:41
around the entire scarf. So a single crochet into the next stitch
19:47
Single crochet into the next stitch. And you keep working a single crochet
19:52
into each stitch until you get to the corner space. So there we go
20:03
Okay, so we've reached our first corner. We're going to put a single crochet in there
20:09
Like so, chain one. And then another single crochet into that same corner space
20:17
And then we're going to continue around the scarf, putting a single crochet into each stitch
20:23
So a single crochet. There. There. And continue around your scarf. So each time you get to the corner space, you'll be putting single crochet, chain one, single crochet
20:39
As you're working around your scarf, when you reach the joining point of your squares
20:46
you've got these two big corner spaces here, so you've still got your single crochets in each stitch
20:52
and once you get to the corner spaces, you want to put a single crochet in each one
20:57
One there, one into the next corner space. and then continue a single crochet in each stitch across
21:12
So single crochet in every stitch, one single crochet in each corner space
21:19
and when you reach the corners at the ends of the scarf
21:25
you're going to put single crochet, chain one, single crochet
