Crochet Sunflower Stem Tutorial

Easy Crochet Sunflower Stem — Beginner Friendly Pattern

Quick summary: This tutorial uses 4‑ply cotton, a 2.5 mm hook, and builds a two‑panel center with layered petals, a wired stem and a leaf — perfect for bouquets.

Why this pattern works (SEO & reader notes)

This post is optimized for long‑tail search terms like “easy crochet sunflower stem pattern” and “beginner crochet sunflower tutorial”. Use clear headings, step lists, and image alt text to improve discoverability and user time on page.

Materials

• Yarn: 4‑ply fine weight 100% cotton — brown (center), green (back), yellow (petals).
• Hook: 2.5 mm crochet hook.
• Extras: 26‑gauge flower wire, pliers, hot glue gun, fiber fill, tapestry needle, stitch marker, scissors.

Written pattern (based on the tutorial)

Center (make 2 panels — front brown, back green)

Round 1: Magic ring, ch 1, 6 sc into ring. Pull tail to close. (6 sc)

Round 2: Inc in each st (2 sc in each) — 12 sc.

Round 3: *1 sc, inc* repeat 6 times — 18 sc.

Round 4: *2 sc, inc* repeat 6 times — 24 sc.

Round 5: *3 sc, inc* repeat 6 times — 30 sc.

Round 6: *4 sc, inc* repeat 6 times — 36 sc.

Round 7: 1 sc in each st around — 36 sc. Fasten off and finish neatly; secure tails with tapestry needle.

Petals (attach yellow yarn through both panels)

Join yellow with sl st through both front & back panels; ch1 (ignore), ch2 to begin petal.

Petal pattern (worked into same stitch across front+back): dc, tr, dtr (double triple), ch3, sl st into front loop for point; then on next stitch work dtr, tr, dc; ch2, sl st into next stitch to close petal. Repeat around until petals complete. Stuff center before final petal and close.

Stem & leaf

Insert hooked flower wire through back magic ring; secure with hot glue (do not glue both panels together). Wrap green yarn around stem with hot glue patches as you go. For leaf: ch16, work back along chain including wire — 2 sc, 2 hdc, 7 dc, 2 hdc, 2 sc;ch-2 repeat on other side; sl st to join; fasten off and wrap base to secure.

Assembly & finishing tips

• Wire hook: Bend wire tip into a small hook and pull through the back magic ring so the green panel sits on the hook; secure with hot glue (do not glue both panels together).
• Stuffing: Add fiber fill before closing the last petal so the center is firm but not overstuffed.
• SEO tip: Add step photos, a short video embed, and alt text like “beginner crochet sunflower stem pattern” to boost search visibility.

Crochet Easy and Simple Summer Top

Crochet Easy and Simple Summer Top for Beginners (Made with Just 2 Rectangles)

Looking for a beginner-friendly crochet summer top that is light, airy, and easy to customize? In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to crochet a beautiful granny stripe summer top using only two simple rectangles.

This crochet top is made using a measurement-based method instead of stitch counts, making it perfect for beginners and for all body sizes. The breathable granny stripe pattern makes it ideal for spring and summer wear.

Skill Level & Pattern Details

• Skill Level: Beginner
• Pattern Type: Granny Stripe
• Construction: Two Rectangles
• Fit: Customizable (Measurement Based)
• Season: Summer / Spring

Materials Required

• 500 g cotton blend yarn (60% cotton, 40% acrylic)
• 3.5 mm crochet hook
• Stitch markers
• Measuring tape
• Tapestry needle
• Scissors

Measurements Used

This project follows a measurement-based approach. You can adjust the size easily by following these measurements:

• Top Length: Shoulder to waist or hip (example used: 20 inches)
• Foundation Chain Length: Twice the top length (example: 40 inches)
• Width: Divide your chest measurement by 4 (example: 10 inches)
• Neck Depth: Approximately 8 inches
• Armhole Depth: 8 to 9 inches (adjust for fit)

Written Crochet Pattern (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Foundation Chain

Start with a slip knot and make a foundation chain measuring twice the length of your desired top. For example, if your top length is 20 inches, your foundation chain should measure 40 inches.

Ensure the chain count is a multiple of 3 plus 1 additional chain. If needed to add of 1–2 chains to adjust the count,you can add them. It will not affect the top too much..

Step 2: Row 1 – Granny Stripe Pattern

Begin with chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet). In the same stitch, work 2 more double crochets to form a granny cluster.

Skip the next two chains and work 3 double crochets into the next chain. Repeat this pattern across the row:

• Granny cluster
• Skip 2 chains
• Granny cluster

The row will start and end with a granny cluster.

Step 3: Row 2

Chain 3 and turn your work. In this row, you will work granny clusters into the gaps from the previous row.

The second row will start and end with a gap.

Step 4: Row 3 and Beyond

For the third row, chain 3 and turn your work. Make 2 double crochets in the first gap to complete the first cluster.

Continue making granny clusters in every gap across the row. Alternate between Row 2 and Row 3 patterns until the rectangle reaches the required width.

In this tutorial, 25 rows were completed to achieve the desired width.

Making the Two Rectangles

Once the first rectangle is complete, fasten off and weave in the ends. Make a second rectangle with the same measurements.

Each rectangle measures approximately:

• Length: 40 inches
• Width: 10 inches

Marking Neck and Armholes

Fold both rectangles lengthwise and place them side by side. Mark the following:

• Front Neck Depth: 8 inches
• Back Neck Depth: 8 inches
• Armholes: 8–9 inches on each side

Use stitch markers to clearly mark all points before joining.

Joining the Panels

Using a tapestry needle and a long yarn tail, start sewing the panels together from the bottom up to the stitch marker.

Sew in one direction (front to back) and secure the join with small knots every 4–5 inches for strength and a clean finish.

Repeat the same joining process on all sides, leaving openings for the neck and armholes.

Finishing Touches

Once all sides are joined, weave in all loose ends securely. You can leave the top as it is or add a simple border if desired.

Your granny stripe crochet summer top is now ready to wear!

Crochet Baby Shoes – Written Pattern

SOLE – Row 1

• Make a slip knot
• Chain 8
• Chain 2 (counts as first dc)
• In the 8th chain from hook, make 2 dc (total 3 dc)
• Make 1 dc in each next chain – total 6 dc on one side
• In the last chain, make 6 dc (this forms the curve)
• Turn work and work 1 dc on top of the previous stitches
• Again, in the starting chain, make 3 dc
• Slip stitch to join

You should now see an oval-shaped sole.

SOLE – Row 2

• Chain 2
• In same stitch, make 1 dc (first increase)
• Make 2 more increases in next stitches
• Make 1 dc in each of the next 6 stitches
• In the curved section, make 2 dc in each of the next 6 stitches
• Make 1 dc in each of the next 6 stitches
• In the last 3 stitches, make increases (2 dc in each)
• Slip stitch to close

At the end of this row, the oval sole becomes wider and balanced.

SOLE – Row 3 (Back Loop Only)

• Chain 2
• Work 1 dc in each stitch, back loop only
• No increases in this row
• Slip stitch to close

This row creates a clear separation between the sole and upper part of the shoe.

• Make 12 sc
• Make 2 hdc
