Crochet flower patterns
"Granny square sunflower"
Crochet flower patterns can be created with granny squares. This square I call the “Sunflower”. You can make up 120 of these squares for a scarf.
Elaborate versions of granny squares can also leave you with designs looking more like luxury bouquets rather than a simple sunflower, so don't be afraid to mix it up.

Put the squares together 6 across and 20 rows long. You should have a nice scarf about 18 inches by 60 inches. Size does not have to be exact for a scarf so this is a great beginner project. This would also be pretty if you boarded each square with whit or black and made enough for an afghan.
I like making granny squares but I get bored and dislike the job of stitching them together. So I admit I quit making afghans out of them awhile back.
