The first stage: we buy the necessary and get to work

To create a crocheted sunflower, you will need to prepare the following materials and tools:

• thin (180 m by 50 g) cotton threads of three colors: yellow, brown and green;
• hook number 2;
• scissors.

We start knitting a flower from the core:

1. Take a brown thread and create an amigurumi ring. We make 3 air loops (VP) and 15 columns with one double crochet (C1H).
2. We close the row with a connecting loop (SP).
3. The second row of the sunflower core starts, like the first, with 3 VP and 1 1 (in the same base loop).
4. Next, in each column of the base we knit 2 C1H.
5. Thanks to the increase, we get 32 ​​columns.
6. We close a number of joint ventures.
7. In the third row, we first perform 3 VPs, and then use the pattern to the end: 1 1 - in the first loop, 2 1 - in the second.
8. The row is completed by a connecting loop (in the third loop of the initial base chain).
9. Thanks to the additions, we count 48 columns. We fix the thread and cut it off.

Second stage: we knit lush petals

After making the core of the flower, we proceed to work on its petals:

• We take the yellow thread and attach it to the workpiece. We carry out 14 VP and, skipping one loop of the base, we attach the chain to the core with the help of the joint venture.
• Again we knit out 14 air loops and make the second petal, backing off 1 loop of the base.
• According to this scheme, we work until the end of the row. As a result, we get 24 petals.

In the next row we do the strapping of the resulting arches.

The first and all other petals will be designed as follows. We take turns in the arch:

• 2 single crochet;
• 2 half crochets;
• 2 single crochet
• 2 double crochet posts
• 2 single crochet
• 2 half columns with one crochet;
• 2 single crochet.

Between the petals in the loop of the base we perform a connecting half-column.

In the last row we do the petal binding. To do this, we carry out connecting half-columns in all base loops, and in the center of the petals we make a picot of three VPs, forming a sharp edge. We fix the thread, cut it off.

Congratulations, half the work is done! Our bright crocheted sunflower takes on recognizable shapes.

The third stage: knitting the stem and leaves

To make a crocheted sunflower stalk, take a green thread. We collect the desired number of air loops (we have 51 VP). Next, we tie the resulting chain on both sides with connecting half-columns. Set the workpiece aside (without cutting the thread) and proceed to knitting the leaves.

We will execute them using a simple scheme:

1. First, we collect 15 air loops.
2. In the second loop from the hook we make 1 single crochet.
3. The next one is another.
4. Next, we knit 2 half crochets, 2 double crochets, 2 double crochets, 2 single crochets, 2 half crochets and 2 single crochets.
5. At the end of the row we knit two VP.
6. We turn the workpiece and make the exact same strapping on the other side of the initial chain.

Fourth stage: assembly of the application

• The finished leaf is processed along the edge with half crochets without a crochet.
• From three air loops we make a leaf stalk. Do not forget to tie the stalk with half crochets without a crochet.
• We attach the leaf to the stem using a connecting loop.
• The second leaf is made by analogy with the first.
• Attach it to the stem from the other side.
• We tie the blank with another row of half-columns without a crochet.
• We attach the stem to the flower, fasten and cut the thread.

So our bright, elegant sunflower crocheted. Did you find the description and photos helpful? We hope they helped to complete this interesting application quickly and easily. I wish you creative success!
