I love the idea of a rectangle shape for a shawl because it makes it so easy to crochet it, and so easy to wrap around, and so simple to convert it into a nice thick scarf to let it simply hang at the front and to make a statement.

Design

The inspiration for this Fiesta Square came when I tried making the starburst / sunburst granny square, which didn’t work out at all! It just didn’t agree with me (maybe some other time).

I didn’t enjoy making it so much and I didn’t like that there were different stitches in the same round. You know, for automaticity. Stitches like treble crochet to make corners next to the usual double crochet stitches in the granny stitch round.

So I thought, if I’m not enjoying this that much, why don’t I try and create a granny square that still has a circle in the middle, still has a variety of texture and looks like a flower or a sun, but is easier and more enjoyable to make.

Pattern Notes

  • How I enjoy colorwork in crochet: I use the No Tails Color Change In Crochet method to dramatically minimize the amount of yarn tails I need to weave in at the end. This method eliminates the yarn tails between the rounds and only leaves one yarn tail to deal with per square. Yes, one! Then I crochet over some of those ends as I join the squares. And finally I tacke the last of the ends and hide them behind the granny stitch clusters. This also explains why I don’t fasten off between rounds in this pattern.
