Pattern Instructions

Starting the Sunflower Base (Row 1)

1. Create a magic ring.
2. Make 6 single crochets (SC) into the magic ring.
3. Pull the ends of the yarn to tighten the circle.
4. Slip stitch (SL ST) into the first stitch to close the row.

Row 2

1. Chain 1 (CH).
   Save
2. Work 2 single crochets (SC) into each stitch around (12 stitches total).
3. Slip stitch into the last stitch to close the row.

Row 3

1. Chain 1 (CH).
2. Work 2 single crochets (SC) in the first stitch and 1 single crochet (SC) in the next.
3. Repeat this pattern (2 SC, 1 SC) all the way around.
4. Slip stitch into the last stitch to finish.

You should now have two identical disc-shaped pieces.

Note: For one piece, cut the yarn tail. Leave the yarn tail uncut on the second piece as it will be used for sewing them together.

Attaching the Two Disc Florets

1. Place the two pieces together, aligning the stitches.
2. Use your crochet hook or a darning needle to attach them.
3. Work slip stitches (SL ST) around the edges to join them. Leave a small opening.
4. Optional: Stuff the sunflower with scrap yarn or polyester fiberfill or leave it flat, depending on your preference.
5. Finish by closing the gap with slip stitches. Trim the yarn tail.

Crocheting the Sunflower Petals

1. Switch to the yellow acrylic yarn.
2. Insert your hook into any loop on the edge of the joined discs. Pull through the yellow yarn and secure it with a knot.

3. Follow this pattern to create a petal:
   • Single crochet (SC) in the same stitch.
   • Double crochet (DC) in the same stitch.
   • Treble crochet (TRC) in the same stitch.
   • Chain 2 (CH), then slip stitch into the treble crochet just made.
   • In the next stitch, make:
     • Treble crochet (TRC).
     • Double crochet (DC).
       Save
   • Slip stitch into the next stitch to complete the petal.
4. Repeat this process around the entire edge of the disc to form petals. You should have approximately 11 petals.
5. To finish the last petal:
   • Slip stitch into the first stitch of the starting petal to secure everything in place.
   • Pull the loop to extend it slightly—this will be used for attaching the keychain or bag charm later.
   • Tie the current yarn end to the starting yarn end, then trim any loose ends.

Attaching the Keychain Ring

1. Use the extended yarn to tie the sunflower securely to a keychain ring or bag.
2. Trim any remaining yarn for a neat look.

Special Features

• Skill Level: Beginner-friendly with clear instructions.
• Specialty Stitches: Treble crochet is covered, but all other stitches are basic.
• Uses: As a keychain, bag charm, gift topper, or handmade keepsake.

Tutor's Suggestions

• Experiment with yarn colors to create daisies, marigolds, or any other floral designs.
• Use metallic yarn for a more decorative, shiny finish.
• Keep your stitches even and maintain the same number of petals for a symmetrical look.

Pro Tip

When attaching the petals, make sure your tension is even. This will ensure your sunflower lays flat and doesn’t fold or curl awkwardly.

Whether you’re a seasoned crocheter or just starting, this pattern is a perfect mix of simplicity and charm to brighten your crocheting journey.
