Sunflower Mirror Cover

This crochet pattern creates a decorative sunflower cover for a small mirror, designed to encourage visual exploration during a baby’s early months. Looking at reflections is a simple and engaging activity that supports a baby’s natural curiosity and self-awareness.

The finished cover can be used in two ways. It can be held and explored during supervised play, or optional crocheted straps can be added to the back of the mirror, allowing it to be tied securely around the headrest of a car seat. When positioned correctly, the mirror reflects into the vehicle’s rearview mirror, allowing the driver or front passenger to see the baby while driving.

The sunflower decoration is worked separately and attached to the mirror cover during assembly. Instructions for the optional attachment straps are included.
