Crocheted Tiny Sunflower- a FREE Crochet Pattern
Sunflowers are my favorite
Sunflowers are my absolute favorite flower. Not only are they so majestic, they are also so bright and cheerful that they can’t help but make you smile! Naturally, when I designed my Plush Scarecrow crochet pattern, it was only fitting that it had a tiny sunflower applique on its whimsical hat. Although it is included in that pattern, I am also offering this free crocheted sunflower pattern here on the blog!
These appliques are perfect not only for hats, headbands, and clothing, but also for hair clips.
