Hello, Thanks for joining me. Here you can find my free crochet pattern for a sunflower.
It’s made using DK weight yarn, from my stash, but honestly – any yarn can be used – jsut make sure you use the right size hook for it.
You’ll need to know how to make a magic ring, Single crochet, Half Double Crochet and Double crochet.

Now what I did notice on close up inspection of the particular breed of sunflower my sunflower sommielier had picked for me, was that the middle of the sunflower is actually green!
I had a quick look on pinterest to see what other sunflowers there were, but all seemed a little small for what I was after.
So I duly sat down, whilst the little people watched some telly, and had a little play with some yarn.
It wasn’t long at all before I had my middle sorted, and then the petals needed some attention.
So who wants a free pattern for a crochet sunflower then?

Round 4: Ch3, 1 DC in next st, 1 DC in next 2 sts, (2 DC in next st, 1 DC in next 2 sts) repeat 8 times. Fasten off. [40 sts]
Round 5: Join Barley, (ch13, in the 3rd chain from the hook, ss, SC in the next 3 sts, HDC in the next 3 sts, DC in the next 3 sts, Double DC in the last chain, join the petal to the brown using a SC, skipping 1 SC). Repeat 18 times, turn. [19 petals]
Round 6: (Ch10, ss in the 2nd ch from the hook, SC in the next 2 sts, HDC in the next 2 sts, DC in the next 3 sts, Double DC in the last sts ?SC to the brown ensuring you attach the previous petal by SS around the the Double DC of the previous round.)? Repeat 18 more times [19 petals]

It will look like this after round 5, but this doesn’t have enough petals.
So add round 6, and it looks even more curly!

Then I used some Starch spray, the same type you’d use for collars of shirts, that can be bought here at Amazon (UK).? There was no way this acrylic yarn was going to stay put after being unpinned without it!
So here you go, two sunflowers, one crochet, one real, both beautiful.
