Sunflowers are some of summer’s loveliest delights. Their seeds are tasty, and their blooms are a feast for the eyes. Sunflowers inspire me in many ways, and I can’t help but want to try crocheting them. You too? In that case, I invite you to load up on free sunflower crochet patterns.

1. Crochet Sunflower Applique

If you crochet this little flower in brown and yellow, it resembles an abstract sunflower. If you crochet it in certain other colors, it starts looking like it could be some other sort of flower instead.


The flower petals are pointed and just a little bit curvy, resulting in graceful lines. This design could accent clothing, accessories or home decor patterns beautifully.
