Sunflower Crochet Pattern

Having a tough time trying to decide which Sunflower Crochet Pattern to do? This FREE Sunflower Crochet Pattern is the bomb! So simple, so easy and so fast to complete. Love this time of the year with all the wild sunflowers around our area. Our town now gearing up for their annual Sunflower Festival in a few weeks.

Wild Sunflowers

So let’s get started with this fun Sunflower Crochet Pattern. Choose your colors, traditional browns and yellows or go out on a limb and try it with greens, reds or oranges. I’ve made several of these sunflowers. They are a wonderful size to attach to any accessory such as a scarf or beanie. Play around with with your crochet hook sizes and yarns. Want it a little bigger? Bring out the chunky yarns. They crochet up BEAUTIFUL in the steel hooks and crochet threads. This is what I used for this particular Sunflower Crochet Pattern:
Yarn used: Left Overs great way to use up that extra yarn from previous projects.
Hook Size: I
Sunflower
With brown yarn, or color you choose to make the center, ch 2
Row 1: Work 10 sc in 2nd ch from hook, join with a sl st, ch 1.
Row 2: *Work 1 sc in 1st st, 2 sc in next st, repeat from * around, join with a sl st, ch 1.
Row 3: Work 1 sc in 1st st, 1 sc in next st, 2 sc in next st, repeat from * around, join with a sl st, ch 1.
Row 4: Work 1 sc in 1st st, 1 sc in next st, 1 sc in next st, 2 sc in next st, repeat from * around, join with a sl st, fasten off and weave in ends.
Row 5: Attach yellow yarn or color you choose for petels to any sc on last rnd, *ch 6, sl st in 2nd ch from hk, sc in next ch, 1 hdc in next 2 ch, 1 sc in next ch, sl st in next st, pedal made, sc in next “brown” stitch, repeat from * around, join with a sl st, fasten off and weave in ends.

I sincerely hope you enjoy this easy crochet pattern. It’s a very forgiving pattern, so if you miss a stitch it’ll never show. Play around with the petels, for example on row 5 you can thicken the petel by maybe adding 2 hdc in the next 2 chains and 2 sc in the 2 chains which you put the 1sc in.
Below I’ve selected some gorgeous Sunflower Crochet Doily Patterns. What a beautiful way to add to your home.

Love Of Crochet Pansies

My Love Of Crochet Pansies is insatiable. These are one of the most delicate flowers grown and loved by so many of us. Why not bring your love of pansies into your home with a beautiful crochet pansy doily, crochet pansy potholders, crochet pansy pillow cover or take on a project like a bedspread. With my Love Of Crochet Pansies, I’ve found I end up with a lot of little pansies just laying around. My goal is to gather them together and assemble a springtime scarf. I’ve got it in my head, now to get it together.

I simply adore this intricate crochet pattern, another one on my “to do” list. The detail of this is simply stunning.
