Crochet 3D Dual Sunflower Tutorial
Skill Level: Beginner – Intermediate. You will be using slip stitches, chains, double crochets, treble crochets, and picots for points. It begins with creating a magic ring and building the center with double crochets. You will also need color changes and sewing. Chain skipping will also be used a bit.
The petals are created using a combination of treble crochet and a decorative picot stitch with a chain of three, which forms a pointed tip. The tutorial also makes use of chain spaces to create the foundation for the next round of petals.
Tutorial Timing: Approximately 15 minutes only (this crochet flower project is the most versatile, as you can crochet in a great range of crochet projects. So, the tutorial is worth the time.)
Personalization Tips: As the tutor suggests, use this crochet sunflower to decorate hats, scarves, bags, or headbands. Embellish clothing or baby outfits with them. When you crochet a granny square, you can also turn it into a pillow cover or blanket.
Sunflowers can also be turned into brooches, pins, or keychains for a stylish accent. Join multiple flowers to create stunning wall hangings or bunting.
Pattern Type: An on-screen written pattern is available if you find written instructions easy to follow along with.
