Bella Coco’s Sunburst Blanket tutorial

My name is Sarah-Jayne, I am a blogger, YouTuber and a lover of all crafts, particularly of the yarn variety!  As I taught myself how to crochet, I felt like I wanted to help others and I now create content on a regular basis for people to learn and try new projects.

The sunburst pattern is certainly one of my favourites. Not only does it look beautiful, but it is a pleasure to see it building into a stunning square. The pattern is perfect for both baby blankets and larger blankets.

This pattern uses the following stitches using UK terms, but if you’d like to convert to US terms, don’t forget to use our handy chart converter!
