Crochet flowers are incomparably beautiful and naturalistic. They act as decorative interior items, serve as a decoration for wardrobe details and simply delight our eyes. If you want to learn how to create knitted flowers yourself, this article is for you. In it we will tell you how easy and simple it is to crochet a bright sunflower. Using our detailed descriptions with photos, even beginners will be able to make an interesting application with their own hands, spending a little time and materials.

First stage: buy what you need and get to work

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

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

Knitting a flower starting from the core:

1. Take a brown thread and create an amigurumi ring. We make 3 air loops (VP) and 15 columns with one crochet (С1Н).
2. 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 С1Н (in the same loop of the base).
4. Next, we knit 2 С1Н in each column of the base.
5. Thanks to the increase, we get 32 bars.
6. Row close the joint venture.
7. In the third row, we first perform 3 VP, and then use the pattern to the end: 1 С1Н - in the first loop, 2 С1Н - in the second loop.
8. We complete the row with a connecting loop (into the third loop of the initial chain of the base).
9. Thanks to the increase, 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 start working on its petals:

• Take the yellow thread and attach it to the workpiece. We perform 14 VPs and, skipping one loop of the base, we attach the chain to the core using the joint venture.
• Knit 14 air loops again and make the second petal, stepping back 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 make the binding of the resulting arches.

The first and all other petals will be designed according to the following scheme. In the arch we do in turn:

• 2 columns withoutyarn over;
• 2 half double crochets;
• 2 double crochets;
• 2 double crochets;
• 2 double crochets;
• 2 half-columns with one crochet;
• 2 single crochet.

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

In the last row we make the strapping of the petals. To do this, we perform connecting half-columns in all loops of the base, and in the center of the petals we make a pico of three VPs, forming a sharp edge. We fix the thread, cut it.

Congratulations, half done! Our bright crochet sunflower takes on a recognizable shape.

Third stage: knitting the stem and leaves

To make a crocheted sunflower stem, we 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. We put the workpiece aside (without cutting the thread) and start knitting the leaves.

We will execute them using a simple scheme:

1. First cast on 15 stitches.
2. In the second loop from the hook we make 1 single crochet.
3. One more next.
4. Next, work 2 double crochets, 2 single 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. Turn the workpiece and do exactly the same strapping on the other side of the initial chain.

Fourth stage: app assembly

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

So our bright, elegant crochet sunflower is ready. Did you find the description and photos helpful? We hope they helped to complete this interesting application quickly and easily. Creative success to you!

Ideas for using the sunflower motif in the interior: crochet doilies

Beautiful crocheted sunflowers perfectly refresh any interior, making it cozier and more elegant. Fancy coasters, tablecloths, sofa cushions and handmade comfortable throws with floral motifs will radiate warmth and love and become the main decorations of your home.

If you want to add bright accents to the interior of the living room or dining area, we suggest you knit an interesting sunflower napkin.

We will use a simple scheme in our work. It should not cause difficulties for those who are just learning to crochet.

We will make a sunflower napkin from yarntwo colors, black and yellow, with a density of 280 m per 100 g. Hook No. 3 or No. 3, 5 will suit it. You will also need scissors.

Knitting the centerpiece of the napkin

Having prepared the necessary tools, let's get started.

1. We take a black thread and make 6 VPs, connecting them into a ring using the joint venture.
2. In the second row we knit three lifting loops and in the same loop of the base a lush column consisting of two double crochets.
3. Next, we make 3 VP and a magnificent column of three columns with a crochet. Scheme-repeat until the end of the row.
4. Third row knit using pattern: 3 dc, 2 ch, 3 dc, 1 ch.
5. In the fourth row, we alternate groups of three columns with one crochet and two air loops. At the end, we fix the thread and cut it off.
6. To knit the fifth row, we attach a yellow thread to the workpiece. In the arch of the two loops of the previous row, we knit a single crochet, a pico of 4 VPs and again a single crochet. Next, we perform an arch of 5 air loops.
7. We work according to this pattern until the end of the row.

Perform the petals of the sunflower napkin

Now let's start knitting sunflower petals:

• We attach a yellow thread to the core of the flower, with connecting loops we move to the third VP of the arch of the previous row.
• Knit 14 air loops.
• In the second loop from the hook we make a single crochet. Next, we knit two half-columns and 10 columns with one crochet.
• Turn the petal, knit on the other side of the chain again 10single crochet, two 2 half double crochets, 1 single crochet.
• In the last loop of the row we make 3 columns without a crochet.
• We continue to work according to the scheme, making the necessary increases, and make out the first petal.
• By analogy with it, we knit all the other petals, in each arch of 5 VPs of the previous row.
• At the last stage of work, we tie the petals along the edge with half-columns without a crochet. We fix the thread and cut it off.

This is such an elegant and original napkin turned out! You can enjoy the result of the work done. Now you know how to crochet a sunflower. Feel free to use it in interior decoration. Creative success to you!
