Designed and Photographed by Amy Solovay. I crocheted this version of the sunflower using worsted weight yarn and a size I / 5.5 mm crochet hook.
Skill Level: Easy
Materials:
Yarn, Floss or Thread: You’ll need two different colors of yarn, crochet thread, embroidery floss or other fiber: color A (for the flower center) and color B (for the flower petals.)
In my first example, posted above, color A is brown and color B is yellow.
In my second example, color A is a deep red, and color B is a deep yellow-gold.
Crochet Hook: You’ll need a crochet hook in your preferred size for working with the yarn or thread you’ve selected.
Other: Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
Finished Size:
The finished size of your sunflowers will vary, depending on the materials you use to make them.
Crochet Abbreviations Used in This Pattern:
- ch = chain
- dc = double crochet
- ea = each
- hdc = half double crochet
- rep = repeat
- sc = single crochet
- sl st = slip stitch
- tr = treble crochet
- st = stitch
Sunflower Crochet Instructions:
Ch 5. Sl st to form a ring.
Round 1: ch 1. Work 10 sc sts in the ring.
Round 2: ch 1. Work 2 sc sts in ea sc st around, for a total of 20 sc sts. Sl st in the 1st sc st in the round; this joins the end of the round to the beginning.
Round 3: ch 1. [Work 1 sc st in ea of the next 4 sc sts. Then work 2 sc in the next sc.] Rep the sequence in brackets all the way around, then put 1 extra sc st at the end of the round for a total of 25 sc sts. Sl st to join.
Round 4: ch 1. Work 1 sc in ea st around. Sl st to join; at the same time, change colors to color B.
Round 5: [ch 1, in same st work the following sequence: hdc, dc, ch 1, tr, ch 1. In next st: tr, ch 1, dc, hdc, ch 1, sl st. Then work 1 sl st in ea of the next 3 sts.] Rep the sequence in brackets all the way around. This gives you the beginnings of 6 separate flower petals.
Round 6: Insert hook in next st and grab color A. Using color A, work a round of surface crochet slip stitches to create emphasis in the spot where colors A and B meet. End off color A.
Round 7: Ch 1. [Work 6 sc sts up the side of the next flower petal. Ch 3, sl st in 3rd ch from hook, sc in same st and then work 6 or 7 more sc sts down the other side of the flower petal. Sl st in between petals, into the round of surface crochet sl sts.] Rep sequence in brackets all the way around. Sl st in first flower petal to join the end of the round to the beg.
