Sunflower Crochet Pattern Step-By-Step Tutorial

The crochet chain stitch is needed here since it helps in starting new rounds, maintaining height, keeping edges even, and creating a tidy, gap-free structure.

While crocheting, every stitch contains two loops, the closer front loop and a more distant back loop.

If instructions say to crochet in the front loop only (FLO), that means we hook only the front portion. For back loop only (BLO), we take the loop which is farthest(back) from us.

We need to count the number of stitches when we finish crocheting each round.

When we finish the first stitch, buckle the yellow marker , and when we finish the last stitch, buckle the blue marker.

We start counting from the stitch on the yellow marker to the stitch on the blue marker to see if it is consistent with the pattern requirements.

Each raised represents a round.

As shown in the picture, there are 6 rounds in total.

Make 6 single crochet stitches into the magic ring.

Magic Ring– The left hand pinches yarn end,using the Thumb and Index Finger. While right hand pinches the fabric bit. This allows to shape the middle of the circle, or some part of the circle into a very minuscule-O gap.

Slip stitch: with a hook, traverse the first yellow V shape stitch. Yarn over and draw from the two outer loops resting on the hook. We obtain a single loop, which is slip stitch.

Now after slip stitch (sl), we get 6 stitches for round 1.

Round 2: we using back loops only , we crochet 1 increase in each stitch, – repeat 6 times , ending with 12 stitches.

Round 3: we using back loops only , we crochet order ( sc, inc) – repeat 6 times , ending with 18 stitches.

Round 4: we using back loops only , we crochet order ( sc, inc,sc) – repeat 6 times , ending with 24 stitches.

Round 5: we using back loops only , we crochet order ( 3sc, inc) – repeat 6 times , ending with 30 stitches.

View of round 5.

Looks like a small bowl.

Round 5: we using back loops only , we crochet order ( 2sc, inc,2sc) – repeat 6 times , ending with 36 stitches.

Then we crochet chain stitch (ch)again, use hook to bring out the yarn end, and conceal yarn end.

We get the dark greed fabric with same method.

But this fabric do not need BLO’s crochet method, which is normal crocheting.

12 ch (now have a foundation chain stitch of 12.)-For the side of leaf for round 1.

Now working on the second chain from the hook (so we skip the first chain and crochet into the second):

• 1 sc in the next back loop only
• 1hdc in the next back loop only
• 7dc in the next 7 back loop only
• 1hdc in the next back loop only
• 3sc in the last back loop only

Crochet order as below- another of leaf for round 1.

• 1hdc in the next front loop only

Crochet order as below- another of leaf for round 2.

• sc,1ch-picot ,sc (we crochet sc firstly, sl in the first ch (picot made). then crochet sc in same stitch.
• 11 sc in next 11 ch
• sl, slip stitch with first stitch(yellow marker)

Then we crochet chain stitch again , cut yarn end, use hook to bring out the yarn end and conceal yarn end.

We need crochet two pieces leaf.

1 leaf is disconnected, 1 leaf is not disconnected.

Crochet 100 chain stitches for hand carrying.

According to individual needs, we can crochet more or less chain stitches appropriately.

We insert the on the top of another leaf , then slip stitch. and crochet chain stitch again.

Cut yarn end, use hook to bring out yarn end.

We get the two leaves with hand carrying.

We need crochet stamens on four round of the outer loop.

Insert the hook into the first outer loop.

Crochet 3 chain stitches for stamens

Now working on the third chain from the hook (so we skip the first chain and crochet into the third):

1 sl in third ch from hook 

Skip one stitch , then slip stitch in the next chain stitch.

We get first stamen.

Three stamens are completed for round 1 .

Leave 5 cm yarn end, the cut yarn end. and conceal yarn end.

The stamens are completed.

Put the yellow yarn before the fifth outer loop for petal.

Crochet 2 chain stitches for the first petal.

Crochet order as below :

• dc in next same stitch
• tr in next same stitch
• dtr in next same stitch

Then we crochet Ch 3, sl in the first ch (picot made).

Crochet order as below：

• dtr in next same chain stitch
• tr in next same chain stitch
• dc in next same chain stitch
• 2 ch

Slip stitch(sl) in next chain stitch.

We use above method nine petals .

Then we leave 5 cm yarn end, cut yarn end .

Use hook to bring out yarn end.

Then we conceal yarn end.

Total 10 petals on the first round.

During the crochet process, pay attention to the consistency of the crocheting strength and tension of our hands, so that the petals will be crocheted more evenly.

Hook insert the stitches between two pieces of fabric .

Put the yellow yarn behind of two fabric.

Use above method to crochet 6 petals.

We need to put hand carrying on the fabric.

Before slip stitch when the sixth petal is completed, we put the handle on top of the fabric and adjust the height of the handle according to personal preference.

Then we crochet slip stitch again.

Put fiberfill in to hole of sunflower when two petals left.

My suggestion is that we don’t need to put too much stuffing, otherwise we can see the white stuffing in the front of the stamens.

The fiberfill is completed.

The last petal is completed.

Then we slip stitch with first petal.

We crochet chain stitch again.

Leave 5 cm yarn end, use hook to bring out yarn end. and conceal yarn end.

12 petals for round 2.

Details of petals.

Because I use the same gesture and strength during the crochet process for petals, I try to keep the petals uniform.
