Crochet Sunflower Pillow Pattern Step By Step

The Crochet Sunflower Pillow Amigurumi is a wonderful craft project that turns yarn into a beautiful decoration that looks just like a sunflower.

This special pillow is made with thick yarn, using brown for the middle part and bright yellow for the petals, making it really pop and look amazing.

When you see it, you can't help but say "wow" because it looks so much like a real sunflower.

Creating it involves crocheting separately the center and the petals and then assembling them together to form a big, comfy pillow.

This sunflower pillow is not only a cozy addition to any room but also brings a bit of nature's beauty indoors in a unique and crafty way.

12. Finish off and weave in the tail.
13. Stuff each petal with fiberfill until full but not over-stuffed.

Center of the Flower

1. Start with a slip knot, chain 2, and do 6 single crochets in the second chain from the hook. Pull the center hole tight.
2. Increase 6 times around.
3. 1 single crochet, 1 increase repeat 6 times.
4. 3 single crochets, 1 increase repeat 6 times (stagger increases to maintain round shape on even rounds).
5. 4 single crochets, 1 increase repeat 6 times (stagger increases).

Assembling the Pillow

1. Using the no-sew method, flatten a petal and attach it to the center by doing 6 single crochets through both the petal and the center.
2. Repeat the process to attach all 10 petals around the center.
3. Continue with single crochet rounds around the center.
4. Start decreasing rounds by 8 single crochets, 1 decrease repeat 6 times, and continue decreasing each round by reducing the number of single crochets between decreases.
5. Halfway through the final decrease rounds, stuff the center firmly but without over-stuffing.
6. Finish decreasing to close the center, weave the tail through the front loops of the remaining stitches, pull tight, and secure the end.
