2-in-1 Sunflower Mini Pouch / Wall Hanging Crochet Pattern

Welcome to this elegant and versatile crochet pattern for a beautiful 2-in-1 Sunflower Mini Pouch or Wall Hanging. This creative design showcases a textured sunflower motif constructed with precise stitch work and layered petals that add dimension. Worked primarily in back loop only (BLO) and front loop (FL) stitches to add texture and structure, the piece can serve as a charming pouch or a decorative hanging with leafy embellishments. Using 100% cotton yarn and a 3mm hook, this pattern is ideal for intermediate crocheters keen on creating stunning textured amigurumi-style projects.

Quick Overview of Pattern

Part 1: Two sunflower bases (front and back). The front uses back loop only stitches from Round 5 onwards for textured petals; the back is worked in regular stitches.
Part 2: Multiple rounds of petals worked in the front loops, culminating in decorative outer petals with color changes and picot edging.
Part 3: Assembly by slip stitching the front and back bases together to form a pouch, leaving a top opening.
Part 4: Leaf embellishments designed with shaping via increases in the center, finishing with a tie to affix leaves to the sunflower center.

Notes

The chain 1 at the start of each round does not count as a stitch.
Back loop only (BLO) single crochets from Round 5 on the front base create the distinctive textured ridges.
Work petals in the front loops leftover from the foundation rounds to emphasize depth.
The hanging loop is made by chaining 40 stitches at the end of the back base.
The pouch opening is left unstitched at the top edges for practical use.
Leaf shaping is achieved through strategic increases and working in BLO.
Implement stitch markers or careful stitch counting to maintain accuracy with repetitive patterns.
