Hello Sunflower lovers!
Here I’ll show you how to crochet this miniature sunflower.

  • This file includes written pattern (in US terms), chart diagrams, instructions and step by step photo guides that will show you how to make it.

  • This is a quick to make sunflower and you’ll need just a small amount of thread for each sunflower. You can make just one sunflower and use it as dollhouse decor, attach it to a greeting card, a frame or even turn it into bookmark, brooch, earrings or necklace. You can also make as many as you’d like to create a sunflower bouquet.

MATERIALS NEEDED

  • Steel crochet hook 1.0 mm • US size 12

  • YARN/ THREAD

  • DMC Petra Crochet Cotton Size 8 (100g/875yds each ball) Color A: light brown - 2 yds; Color B: army green - 5 yds; Color C: sun yellow - 3.5 yds.

  • Any 4-ply acrylic yarn in dark brown: less than 1yd

  • Jewelry wire/ craft wire size 0.3mm (Gauge 28) or 0.4mm (Gauge 26)

  • Tacky glue

  • Fabric stiffener or matte acrylic finisher

  • Gauge isn’t really important for this project as long as you are consistent.

  • If you use the same materials listed in this pattern, your sunflower would be about 7 cm (2.8 inches) long and 2.8 cm (1.1 inches) diameter. You can also crochet with other thread/ yarn and a suitable hook to make a bigger or smaller item.

I hope you’ll enjoy this pattern and have a happy summer!
