Here’s an update on this post from September 2025 What’s on the “Design Carpet”: Update on Sunflower Granny Square Blanket.

After lots of time on the road during various roadtrips in 2025 I’ve exhausted my supply of “center flower” yarn for the Sunflower themed Granny Square blanket I’ve been crocheting while riding in the car.

So it is time to make it into a blanket!

There are a total of 137 granny squares!

This might seem tedious but I counted and photographed how many of each different mix of yarns squares (21 different versions of the square*) of the 137 squares I made (the count of each type in lower right hand corner):

I’m not using all 137 squares in the blanket. I figure I will make a 10 square by 12 square blanket and use 120 squares and save the rest (17) for a couple small projects like a pillow or something like that.

I decided not to use the “design carpet” to lay out the sunflower granny squares. Instead I separated them into VERY ARBITRARY “light” and “dark” piles, trying to make the piles as even as possible:

So I’ll post my progress as I crochet together alternating “light” and “dark” squares to make the blanket!

*(Why so many different versions for the granny squares? Well I was using up miscellaneous yarn I had thrifted over the years)

  9. Super wow, Tierney. It’s a field full all right! And each one unique and beautiful. I like how you are going about organizing them to put together into a blankie. A certain amount of serendipity seems to fit in with the carefree sunflower theme.
