The sunflower is my favorite flower. Have you seen my crochet Sunflower Sun Hat pattern? I wanted a crochet sunflower applique for a couple of different projects, so I came up with these.
On Wednesday, I will show you how to make an adorable sunflower headband , using the smaller flower. Come back Friday, and I will show you what I did with the larger sunflower applique.
What would you use these sunflower appliques for? Leave a comment to share your ideas.
