This free sunflower crochet pattern is perfect for intermediate crocheters ready to tackle a fun and detailed project. While it may seem intricate, I’ll guide you through each step, making it manageable even if you’re still developing your skills.

The pattern features a stunning sunflower amigurumi with two layers of petals: smaller inner petals and larger outer petals. We’ll also crochet a textured flower center and two lifelike leaves. It’s like watching a real sunflower bloom right in your hands!

Sunflowers are often associated with bright yellow, but they actually come in a variety of colors in nature, including burgundy, orange, and bi-color varieties! This easy sunflower crochet pattern allows you to experiment with different color combinations, whether you prefer classic yellow or a bold burgundy. You can even adjust the number of petals or leaves to create your perfect bloom.

With a finished size of about 4.5 inches in diameter, this crochet sunflower is ideal for decorations or as part of a larger project. Want to create a cheerful bouquet? Grouping three to five of these beauties together will yield a striking arrangement about 13-15 inches tall—a forever bouquet that never needs watering!
