Crochet Sunflower & Roses – Free pattern

Ohh, beautiful choice 🌻! What you’re looking at is a crochet sunflower with layered petals and a textured puff-stitch center. This type of crochet flower is often used as decoration, in pillows, wall hangings, or even big bouquets.

Here’s how you can make it step by step:

---

🧶 Materials

• Brown yarn (center)
• Yellow + light yellow yarn (petals, two shades for dimension)
• Green yarn (leaves/stem, optional)
• Crochet hook (looks like 3.75 mm in your picture)
• Scissors, yarn needle

🌻 Step-by-Step Crochet Sunflower

1. Center (Brown Part)

1. Round 1: Make a magic ring, chain 1, and work 10 single crochets (sc). Pull tight, slip stitch to close.
2. Round 2: Work 2 sc in each stitch (20 total).
3. Round 3: Make puff stitches (yarn over, pull through 3–4 times, then close) in each stitch around. This gives the bumpy center look.
4. You can make the center bigger by repeating increases in sc or puff stitches until you get the desired size.

2. Petals (Yellow Layers)

Each petal is made separately around the brown base.

1. Attach yellow yarn to the back loop of the center.
2. Chain 12–15 (depending on petal length you want).
3. Work back down the chain with:
   • 1 slip stitch,
   • 1 sc,
   • 1 hdc,
   • double crochets (dc) in the middle,
   • then taper back with hdc, sc, slip stitch.
4. Slip stitch into the next stitch of the base, repeat for each petal.

👉 This makes one layer of petals.

3. Second Layer of Petals

• Attach a lighter yellow yarn (or the same shade if you like) behind the first petal round (using unused back loops or working between stitches).
• Repeat the petal-making process.
• This creates a full, layered sunflower look.

---

4. Leaves (Optional)

• Use green yarn.
• Make large leaves with chains (15–20), working similar to petal shaping (sc → hdc → dc → hdc → sc).
• Attach behind the flower.

---

5. Assembly

• If making a single flower: leave as is.
• If making a bouquet: crochet a green tube (stem) and sew to the back.

✨ Result: A big, realistic sunflower with depth, just like in your photo!
