It’s hard to ignore the sunflower. It’s tall, bright and in the case of a crochet sunflower, it can brighten up even the most basic out or room. As summer comes to a close, you don’t have to say goodbye to the bright bloom. Instead, capture sunflowers forever in stitches!
Stitch a pretty sunflower that will last year round — even if you don’t water it!
Place your sunflower on the shelf, on a hat on a wreath, or anywhere else that needs a little something special.
These crochet sunflower patterns cover every skill level.

5. Sunflower Hat
The sunflower on this hat does double duty: it’s a cute embellishment, but it also helps keep the brim of the hat in place and out of baby’s eyes.
