Crochet Sunflower Square

I made this crochet sunflower square as a part of my Fall crochet square series but this one would be fun for many seasons and occasions! I putting 4 of these Fall themed crochet granny squares together to make a throw pillow. Even though I am in Arizona and it’s still 100 degrees out, I am feeling those Autumn vibes and I’m ready to bring out my Fall decor!
