Crochet Sunflower Bouquet - Seven Handmade Everlasting Sunflowers

This crochet sunflower bouquet is seven big cotton heads on wrapped stems, each one worked by hand with a dark centre and two rows of petals. It stands about 38 cm tall and the heads are heavy on purpose, so the bunch looks right in a wide kitchen jug. People send it to cheer somebody up and to brighten a dark corner of a room.

How to choose your bunch

1. Pick the yellow. Bright yellow reads as summer, while rust and deep gold suit an autumn table better.
2. Pick the centre. Dark brown is standard and black gives a sharper contrast against a pale wall.
3. Say where it will sit. A jug wants the stems left long, a short vase wants them trimmed, and we cut to your measurement before posting.

A larger crochet sunflower bouquet or a matching arrangement can be ordered through the made to order crochet service.

What makes a crochet sunflower bouquet sit well

A sunflower is mostly head, and that is the hard part in yarn. We work the centre flat and firm so it does not dome, then set two rows of petals behind it, with the back row slightly longer. The result faces forward rather than drooping, which is what you want on a windowsill or a kitchen shelf where people see it side on.

Cotton keeps a crochet sunflower bouquet looking the same all year, with no petals on the table and no water to change. It also takes dust better than a silk flower, because you can brush it or wash it. Sunflowers travel well as a get well present for the same reason. More home pieces sit in the handmade crochet decor range.

Hand wash in cool water with a mild soap, press the water out with a towel, reshape while damp and leave it to air dry away from direct sunlight. Do not wring it and do not tumble dry it. Our amigurumi care guide goes through the same steps in more detail.

Questions people ask

How heavy are the heads on this crochet sunflower bouquet?

Each head is light but dense, so a tall narrow vase can tip. A jug or a weighted vase holds the bunch steady.

Can I have fewer than seven stems?

Yes. Tell us the number you want before we start and we adjust the price and the making time to match.

Will the yellow fade?

Cotton holds colour well indoors. Strong direct sunlight on the same spot for months will dull any dyed yarn, so keep it off a hot south window.

Can I wash it?

Yes, by hand in cool water. Press the water out with a towel, reshape the petals and dry it flat away from the sun.
