Crochet Sunflower Pattern by Crochet For You.
A quick stash project, this sunflower turns small amounts of leftover yarn into a cheerful embellishment for hats, bags, headbands, or gifts. The flower has a dark center, a warm middle ring, and bright petals that read clearly even at a small size. It works up fast, so it is handy when you want a finished accent without starting a larger project.

The designer rates this project Easy, which makes it friendly for a first flower or a relaxing break between larger makes. Gauge is not very important for this pattern, so you can focus on an even fabric and a neat center rather than matching an exact tension.
- Hook: G-6, 4mm crochet hook
- Needle: Tapestry needle for weaving ends
- Yarn: #2-Fine / sport weight yarn in 3 colors: golden yellow, brown, and black (Approx: 15 yards for each color)
The pattern uses US crochet terms, and the abbreviations below match the designer key. Keep this key nearby while you work, since the center and petal rounds move between single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet. A repeat marker shows where a sequence repeats, and skipping is marked so petal spacing stays even.
- ch = chain
- dc = double crochet
- hdc = half double crochet
- sc = single crochet
- sk = skip
- sl st = slip stitch
- st(s) = stitch(s)
- *to ; = repeat * to the instructions.
Crochet Sunflower Pattern Overview
The flower starts with a magic ring in black, then the center grows outward in single crochet rounds. One round changes to brown, which frames the dark center and sets up the edge for petals. The final round switches to golden yellow and works petals all around the previous round. Fasten off and weave in the end when the round is complete, leaving 15 petals around the flower.
