General Notes
This pattern is for a customizable sunflower bunting. Yarn amounts are given per flower, and I provide instructions for calculating how many flowers you will need to achieve your desired length. I also give two options for connecting your flowers: stringing them on a long chain or attaching them point-to-point.

Here are some fun ways to use this bunting:

  • Hang a short bunting across a kitchen window! It would be lovely to admire sunflowers while you do the dishes.
  • Attach one to a bed frame. This pattern would cheer up any kid’s room (try different colors if you’d like!), or it could make a guest bedroom extra welcoming.
  • Hang one on your garage or fence for an outdoor party!
  • Space the sunflowers widely and hang them around the lintel of your front or back door, letting them drape on either side.
  • Hang it over a crib for a sunflower-themed nursery!

Level: Intermediate

Skills Required

  • Slip stitch
  • Chain
  • Single crochet
  • Working in the round
  • Double crochet
  • Double crochet clusters (explained in pattern - essentially a modified dc2tog)
  • Crocodile stitch - explained somewhat through pictures and through linked tutorial
  • Simple crochet math (e.g., if each flower is 4” across and I want a 12” bunting, I need 3 flowers)
