Bright Crochet Sunflower Pouch Pattern

Materials Needed

   • Yellow yarn (for sunflower petals).
   • Another color (optional) for the back of the pouch.
2. Hook: 4.5mm crochet hook.
3. Tools: Scissors and yarn needle.

Pattern Instructions

Front Circle – Sunflower Center

1. Magic Circle Creation:
   • Start by creating a magic circle with brown yarn.
   • Chain 1 and make 10 half double crochets (HDC) inside the circle.
   • Pull tightly to close it and join with a slip stitch into the first HDC.
2. Round Two:
   • Chain 1 and make 2 HDC in each stitch (increase in every stitch).
   • You should have 20 stitches at the end of this round.
3. Round Three:
   • Chain 1 and alternate 1 HDC in the first stitch and 2 HDC in the next stitch (increase every second stitch).
   • Continue the pattern to complete the round. This will result in 30 stitches.
4. Reverse Slip Stitch (Special Technique):
   • To prepare for attaching the sunflower petals, perform a reverse slip stitch.
   • Turn the work over, insert the hook from the back of the stitch, pull yarn through to bring the stitch forward.

Switching Colors (Optional)

• If desired, tie off your brown yarn and substitute with a new color for the pouch.
• Create a slip knot and attach the new yarn to the back loop only of the first stitch of Round Three.

Round Four – Continuing the Circle

1. Chain 1 and work into back loops only:
   • Make 2 HDCs followed by an increase (3 HDCs in every third stitch).
   • At the end of the round, you should have 40 stitches.
2. Slip stitch into the top of the first HDC to join the round.

Round Five – Completing the Front

1. Chain 1 and alternate 3 single crochets (SC) with an increase in every fourth stitch.
2. This round will result in 50 stitches.
3. Slip stitch to join Round Five.

Adding the Back of the Pouch

1. Repeat the exact same process (Rounds 1–5) to create the back of the pouch.
   • Skip reverse slip stitch and back loop crochet for the back; it should be a plain circle.
2. At this stage, you’ll have two flat circles.

Making the Handle

1. Attach yarn to any point on the outer edge of the front circle.
2. Chain 55 for the handle length (adjust the size based on preference—suggested range is 45–55 chains).
3. Slip stitch back into the same space where the chain started and tie off the yarn.

Sunflower Petals

1. Using yellow yarn, create a slip knot and attach it to any front loop from Round Three.
   • Fold the work to make access to front loops easier.
2. Follow this petal pattern for each loop:
   • Chain 1.
   • Double crochet (DC) followed by a treble crochet (TR) in the same stitch.
   • Chain 3 and create a picot (slip stitch into the top of the chain 3 to form a bump).
   • In the next stitch, work another treble crochet (TR), then make a DC and SC into the same stitch.
   • Slip stitch into the following stitch.
3. Repeat this pattern on 15 front loops to complete the sunflower.

Joining Front and Back Pieces

1. Place the wrong sides of the two pieces together.
2. Leave a gap by skipping 7 stitches on both sides for the pouch opening.
3. Attach yarn and slip stitch through both pieces along the rest of the edge. Work through all four loops for a secure join.

Final Touch

1. Small Closure Loop:
   • On the back piece, chain 7 and slip stitch back into the point where the chain started.
   • Tie off the yarn to create a small loop that the handle will go through to close the pouch.
2. Weave in all yarn ends securely with a yarn needle to clean up the work.
