Skill Level

Beginner to Confident Beginner

This pattern is written for crocheters who are learning or already know the basic crochet stitches. It includes simple explanations, but complete beginners should take their time with each step and practise the main stitches before starting the full project.

You will use or learn the following crochet techniques:

• Magic ring
• Chain stitch
• Single crochet
• Half double crochet
• Double crochet
• Increase
• Invisible decrease
• Slip stitch
• Working in continuous rounds
• Working in rows
• Basic sewing with a yarn needle
• Simple shaping and assembly

The flower petals and leaves may look detailed, but the instructions break them into manageable steps. Work slowly, count your stitches carefully, and use a stitch marker to track the beginning of every round.

Finished Size

The finished sunflower is approximately:

• 11 to 13 inches / 28 to 33 cm tall
• 7 to 8 inches / 18 to 20 cm wide across the flower head
• 4 to 5 inches / 10 to 13 cm wide at the pot

Your final size can vary depending on the type of yarn, hook size, stitch tension, amount of stuffing, and support used inside the stem.

For a smaller sunflower, choose thinner yarn and a smaller hook. For a larger decorative sunflower, use thicker yarn and a larger hook while keeping your stitches firm enough to hold the shape.

Materials Needed

Yarn Colours

You will need yarn in the following colours:

• Bright yellow for the petals
• Dark brown for the flower centre
• Green for the stem and leaves
• Light or medium brown for the pot
• Dark brown for the soil insert
• Optional cream, tan, or beige yarn for decorative edging

Tools and Supplies

You will also need:

• Crochet hook suitable for your yarn
• Polyester fiberfill stuffing
• Yarn needle
• Stitch marker
• Scissors
• Measuring tape
• Optional floral wire, wooden stick, pipe cleaner, or dowel for stem support
• Optional cardboard or plastic circle for pot stability
• Optional hot glue or fabric glue for display-only finishing

For the best result, use a yarn type that holds its shape well. Cotton yarn, cotton-blend yarn, acrylic yarn, or plush yarn can all work, but cotton or acrylic yarn usually gives the pot, stem, and petals stronger structure.
