Crochet sunflower ???????? how to make flower ???? wool flower

Creating a crochet sunflower can be a fun and rewarding project! Here's a basic guide to making a crochet sunflower using yellow and brown yarn. This guide assumes you have basic knowledge of crochet stitches like chain (ch), single crochet (sc), double crochet (dc), and slip stitch (sl st).

Materials you'll need:

• Yellow yarn (for petals)
• Brown yarn (for center)
• Crochet hook (appropriate size for your chosen yarn)
• Scissors
• Yarn needle

Crochet Sunflower Petals:

1. Start with a slip knot and chain 3.
2. In the first chain, work 10 double crochet (dc) stitches. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first dc to form a circle.
3. Chain 3 (counts as the first dc), then work 2 dc in the same stitch. Chain 2, skip the next stitch, and work 3 dc in the next stitch. Repeat from * to * around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain 3.
4. Slip stitch into the first 2 dc and into the first chain-2 space. Chain 3 (counts as the first dc), work 2 dc in the same space, then chain 2 and work 3 dc in the same space. This creates the first corner of the petal.
5. In the next chain-2 space, work 3 dc, chain 2, and 3 dc. Repeat this for the remaining chain-2 spaces around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain 3.
6. Repeat Step 4 and 5 for a total of 3 rounds. Each round should have 8 petals.

Crochet Sunflower Center:

1. Using brown yarn, start with a magic ring (or ch 3 and join to form a ring).
2. Work 8 single crochet (sc) stitches into the ring. Join with a slip stitch to the first sc.
3. Chain 1, then work 2 single crochet in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch to the first sc.
4. Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing.

Assembly:

1. Use the yarn needle to sew the brown center onto the yellow petals.
2. You can add more petals by making additional rounds of petals in the same manner as before, adjusting the stitch count as needed.
3. Weave in all loose ends using the yarn needle.

Remember, crochet can be a bit challenging at first, so don't be discouraged if it takes a little practice to get the hang of it. Experiment with different yarn weights and hook sizes to achieve the desired size for your sunflower.

Feel free to get creative with your sunflower by adding leaves, changing colors, or adjusting the number of petals. Have fun crocheting your beautiful sunflower!
