Potted Sunflower Crochet Pattern — English PDF

Crochet a little bloom for a shelf or desk with Sunny Blossom: a smiling Brown centre, ten rounded Yellow shell petals, two Green leaves and a short all-yarn stem in a plain Terracotta pot. The flower has a Green back and a thin layer of filling, with the smile on the flower centre.

What's inside: a 17-page illustrated English guide in US crochet terms, with written rounds, staggered flat circles, stitch references, a numbered ten-petal map, two-sided leaf instructions, a rolled stem core, hidden soil seam and assembly diagrams. The separate 2-page quick-reference PDF repeats guide pages 16-17 and adds no patterns. START_HERE.txt explains the files and making order.

How to use / Who it's for: intermediate crocheters comfortable with magic rings, sc and increases, spiral rounds, BLO/FLO, hdc/dc shells, rotating around a foundation chain, embroidery, paired-layer joins and careful sewing. Use compatible smooth DK/light yarn about 100-125 m per 50 g, worked single strand with a 2.5 mm starting hook. Add small filling tufts, embroidery thread, a needle, marker, scissors, ruler and scrap markers. Embroider the eyes or fit optional 6 mm plastic eyes before closing the flower. Complete the back seams, leaves and root before closing the soil.

Good to know: at an assumed 24 sc and 24 rounds per 10 cm, the pot is about 5.6 cm wide with eight true wall rounds nominally 3.3 cm high before curvature; the full flower head is about 5.8-6 cm wide and the whole plant roughly 10 cm high. The six-round stem is about 2.5 cm long, with a two-round overlap on the Green back. These are conditional planning estimates; yarn, tension and filling change the result. For one plant allow Terracotta 30-35 m, Brown 12-15 m, Green 12-15 m and Yellow 6-8 m, including joins, sewing tails and reserve. Allow an extra 15-18 m of Terracotta for the gauge sample; repeat that allowance if another yarn behaves differently. The all-yarn stem remains flexible; no wire, stick or weighting pellets are specified. Keep the head thin and soil level. Follow yarn/filling care labels and dry fully. Decorative craft; keep loose small parts and supplies away from young children. Personal making and gifting only; do not resell/share files. Edition 1.0.1.
