Sunburst Granny Square Patterns

A sunburst granny square starts with a circular center of spoke-like clusters, often puff stitches or tall double crochets, surrounded by contrasting rounds that become square at the corners. The radiating center suggests a sun or starburst. Sunburst squares look especially striking in bright multicolor combinations for blankets and bags.

Why do sunburst squares use puff or cluster stitches?

Sunburst squares use puff or cluster stitches in the center because tall, grouped stitches separated by chains create distinct rays. The chain spaces between them give later rounds an easy place to work into, which makes the transition from circle to square smoother than working into solid stitches.
