Crochet Sunflower Patterns
Crochet sunflower patterns make a textured brown or black center, often worked in bobbles, puff stitches, or front-post rounds, surrounded by a ring of pointed yellow petals. Sunflowers work as appliqués, granny square centers, coasters, and stemmed bouquet flowers. The bold contrast looks striking even with simple stitches.

How do you make a textured sunflower center?
Make a textured sunflower center by working the first rounds in brown yarn using bobble stitches, puff stitches, or single crochet in back loops only, which creates the seedy look. Then join yellow yarn and work chain-based petals around the edge.
