Sunflower Granny Square Tote Bag Pattern
Peace, love & neon. It’s not just what we say at the end of every craft workshop and camp session. It’s our genuine hope for humanity that the world should be filled with peace, love, and good vibes for all.
Our hearts are breaking, as yours might be too, from the war in Ukraine and senseless violence being enacted upon innocent people there. In light of the current situation, our team wanted to find a way to raise support for Ukrainian refugees, and we figured what better way to do that than by doing what we do best: teaching a beautiful craft project.
Sunflower Granny Square Tote Bag Pattern
We’re excited to share this Sunflower Granny Square Tote Bag Pattern that our team developed to raise funds for Sunflower of Peace, a US-based organization that provides medical supplies to paramedics and doctors on the front lines of the current crisis.
Through April 3rd, 100% of the proceeds of the sale of our Sunflower Granny Square Tote Pattern & Yarn Bundle will go directly to Sunflower of Peace. We invite you to help us raise money for this wonderful organization while making something beautiful to show your own support.
Sunflowers are the national flower of Ukraine and have become a symbol of peace and solidarity with Ukraine. The blue background of this pattern represents the blue in the Ukrainian flag, along with the yellow of the flag which is also represented by the bright sunflowers.

Thank you for reaching out to us all through this opportunity to be creative, and in so doing, express our prayers and wishes of love and kindness. This is the best and genuinely only way to overcome the horrors of war. War is people run amok with their greed and insatiable desire for power. Love is people reaching out, people being creative. Thank you! I have to learn to crochet, and then I’m going to teach my grandchildren how.
What a beautiful way to put it!
