How to crochet a cute, potted sunflower using any size pot or upcycled coffee mug.

There is also a video tutorial included. Part 1, Part 2.

Materials:

• Worsted Weight Yarn - I used Red Heart Super Saver in the Coffee/Cafe Latte (42 Yards), Tea Leaf (10 Yards) and Bright Yellow (25 Yards) colorways
• H8/5mm Crochet Hook
• Tapestry Needle
• Soft Tape Measure
• Pot or Mug - mine is a vintage mug with a base diameter of 2.5”, and a top diameter of 3”
• Poly-Fil Stuffing
• Optional, Pipe Cleaners

Material Notes:
Similar Yarns: Caron’s One Pound, Bernat’s Super Value.

I like Red Heart’s Super Saver for my home projects because it’s affordable, and durable, and for this project, it’s stiff. If you have washed your Red Heart Super Saver, or working with a softer yarn, you may just want to add pipe cleaners to your stem before you stuff to add more stability so the flower doesn’t fall over.

Time Spent:
I had mine ready in just under 1 hour, 15 minutes.

Measurements:
Without the mug, my sunflower measures 9” tall. Across the sunflower, it measures 4.38” (or 4 3/8”), and from one point of one leaf to the other point of the other, it measures 6”.

Gauge:
In the round starting with 10 HDC and increasing to 30 HDC, 30 HDC = 3” in diameter
