SUN

SUN

Granny Square

Comments: The name is following my "astrological" convention, but this square really resemble a red sun with expanding rays, don't you think so? Once again, please note that my color choice is surely not the best, I only used these "strong" colors because they are more visible on a scanner. If you will crochet this square, let me know a nicer combination (and hopefully send me a photo of your work!)

Directions

Start with A, 8 ch

1. Initial Petal, 3 ch (Petal, 3 ch) 7 times; Join yarn in 3rd initial ch.

2.*dc on petal, 4 ch*; Repeat * to * 8 times ; join B in initial st.

3. * sc on dc, 1 ch, 4 dc pointing hk in 3-ch sp of 1st Rnd, 1 ch*; Repeat * to * 8 times ; join C in initial st.

4. * sc on sc, 1 ch, 4 dc pointing hk in 4-ch sp of 2nd rnd 1 ch*; Repeat * to * 8 times ; join yarn in initial st.

5.* dc on sc, 6 ch*; Repeat * to * 8 times ; join B in initial st.

6.* sc on dc, 1 ch, 2 dc in next corr dc in 4th Rnd, (dc in next corr dc in 4th Rnd) twice, 2 dc in next corr dc in 4th Rnd, 1 ch; Repeat * to * 8 times ; join A in initial st.

7. *dc on sc, (8 dc in 6-ch sp in 5th Rnd), (2tr, 2 ch, 2tr)=corner in corr next dc of 5th Rnd, (8 dc in 6-ch sp in 5th Rnd)*; Repeat * to * 4 times ; join C in initial st.

8. with C, sc in ea. dc, making 3 sc in ea. corner sp. Cut yarn, weave in ends.

INITIAL PETAL
3 ch, (yo twice, hk in sp, draw yarn, yo, draw 2, you, draw two) twice, yo, draw 3 remaining sts

INITIAL PETAL
3 ch, (yo twice, hk in sp, draw yarn, yo, draw 2, you, draw two) twice, yo, draw 3 remaining sts

PETAL
(yo twice, hk in sp, draw yarn, yo, draw 2 st, yo, draw 2 st) 3 times, yo, draw 4 remaining sts.

PETAL
(yo twice, hk in sp, draw yarn, yo, draw 2 st, yo, draw 2 st) 3 times, yo, draw 4 remaining sts.

N.B.

Always substitute (also if not explicitly said) first st in a row as follows:
- first sc with 1 ch, sc;
- first hdc with 2 ch;
- first dc with 3 ch;
- first tr with 4 ch...and so on;
When you read "sl st to <location>", where the location is not immediately contiguous to last st, this means of course "an appropriate number of sl sts for reaching <location>".
Also if I do not specify it, if you lasted prev row on a st (say st1), while you must start next row in another st (say st2), make an appropriate number of sl sts to reach st2.
