Sunflower Applique Crochet Pattern
I shared this sunflower applique crochet pattern over on Instagram to show my support for Ukraine. I had such a positive response that I wanted to give it a permanent home here on the blog and make it easier to find.
This little sunflower works up really quickly and can be used for brooches, keychains or magnets – it’s perfect for embellishing all your crochet projects.
