Sunflower Crochet Designs
There are different styles of sunflower crochets, and each is unique, bringing sunflowers to life in the most beautiful way. Some of the most common ones are:
1. Motifs
Sunflower motifs are the most common type you’ll find. They are flat sunflower-shaped designs that are created by starting from the center of the round and crocheting your way outwards to the petals.
2. Color Work
Traditional sunflowers have yellow petals and dark brown centers, but you can create more beautiful designs by changing the colors.
More often than not, doing that adds a certain character and uniqueness to your design. You can do this by using tapestry/intarsia crochet or corner-to-corner crochet.
3. Filet Crochets
The filet technique is relatively easy but produces stunning results.
Sunflower filet crochet uses chain spaces to generate intriguing designs that bring sunflowers to life in a way that’s different from traditional crocheting.
What Yarn Is Best for Sunflower Crochet?
While you can use almost any kind of yarn to crochet sunflowers, I’ve found that worsted-weight yarn is best—acrylic or cotton.
Acrylic yarn is suitable for both beginners and expert crocheters. It glides effortlessly on and off the crochet hook, making it a delight to work with.
In addition to this, it’s lightweight and simple to wash and dry, which is especially useful if you intend to attach your sunflower designs to hats, blankets, or in this case, bags.
Cotton yarn, on the other hand, has excellent stitch definition, allowing the exquisite features of your crochet work to show.
It also comes in various stunning colors, giving you even more alternatives to experiment with. This opens up more creative options and allows you to bring the designs to life with different color combinations.
It’s best to work with the recommended yarn for each pattern to be able to achieve a similar result.
