🌻 Crochet Sunflower Detailed Pattern

---

✅ Materials

• Yellow yarn (petals)
• Green yarn (center)
• White yarn (optional small circle inside)
• Crochet hook 2.5–3.5 mm
• Scissors
• Yarn needle

---

✅ PART 1: Green Center

R1 — Magic ring

1. Make a magic ring.
2. Work 6 single crochet (sc) inside.
3. Pull tight.
4. Join with slip stitch (sl st).

R2 — Increase round

• 2 sc in each stitch → total 12 stitches.
• Join with sl st.

R3 — Increase evenly

• (1 sc, 2 sc in next) repeat → total 18 stitches.

R4 — Increase evenly

• (2 sc, 2 sc in next) repeat → total 24 stitches.

Your circle should now be flat and the right size.

If you want a larger sunflower, add another round:

• (3 sc, 2 sc in next) repeat → 30 stitches.

✅ PART 2: Form the Small Inner Hole (White Spot)

In the image, there is a small white circle inside the green center.

If you want to replicate it:

Option A (simple):

• Leave a small hole when pulling magic ring (don’t tighten completely).

Option B:

1. After finishing green center, attach white yarn.
2. Slip stitch around inside stitches (just 3–4 small slip stitches).
3. Fasten off.

✅ PART 3: Petals (Most important part!)

The sunflower in the image has thick layered petals.
Each petal is crocheted individually around the edge of the circle.

This pattern will give you full and puffed petals.

🌼 Each Petal Pattern (One petal)

Attach yellow yarn to any stitch on the green circle.

Step 1: Chain base

• Chain 10.

Step 2: Work back down the chain

In the 2nd chain from hook:

1. 1 sc
2. Next: 1 hdc
3. Next: 1 dc
4. Next: 1 dc
5. Next: 1 tr (treble crochet) – makes petal longer
6. Next: 1 dc
7. Next: 1 hdc
8. Next: 1 sc

Step 3: Shape the petal

• Slip stitch to the next stitch on the green circle.

This completes one petal.

✅ How to get thick / 3D petals like the picture

In the image, the petals look double-layered and puffed.
To get the same effect, do this:

After finishing the first row of a petal:

1. Chain 1
2. Turn
3. Crochet back up the petal again:
   • 1 sc
   • 1 hdc
   • 1 dc
   • 1 dc
   • 1 tr
   • 1 dc
   • 1 hdc
   • 1 sc

This makes the petal thicker and fuller.

Attach again:

• Slip stitch at the base (same loop).

This gives the petal the 3D puff effect seen in the photo.

---

✅ Number of petals

You should have 12–16 petals depending on how full you want it.

Most sunflowers look nice with:

• 14 petals evenly spaced

---

✅ Finishing

1. Weave in all yarn ends.
2. Use your fingers to shape petals.
3. Optional: steam-block lightly to set shape.

---

✅ Optional Add-ons

• Use green yarn
• Crochet small leaf shapes
• Sew them at the back

Turn into accessories:

• Sew onto:
  • hair clip
  • brooch pin
  • bag decoration
  • bookmark
