What size crochet sunflower does this pattern make?
Our pattern makes a sunflower that’s about 6-1/2 inches in size, with the petals uncurled. The leaves are 2 inches long, and the whole flower is about 16 inches tall (if you make a 12 inch stem for your flower).
How do you crochet a bobble stitch?
The center of this sunflower pattern is made with a bobble stitch. Here’s how to crochet this stitch: Note: the chain 1 in the bobble stitch doesn’t count as a separate stitch. Instead, it’s considered a part of the stitch. No stitches should be inserted into the chain 1 space.
What can I stuff my crochet sunflower with?
We used poly-fil (fiber fill) stuffing to stuff the center of our sunflower, but you can also use stuffing from an old pillow or a stuffed toy. Or, if you don’t have stuffing, this is a great way to use up scrap bits of yarn or fabric. But if you use these, be sure to cut them small so that the flower doesn’t look lumpy.
Sunflowers symbolize happiness, warmth, and positivity, and a crochet sunflower is the perfect way to bring those vibes into your home decor. These DIY flowers are so beautiful and a lot of fun to make!
