Fall Inspired, Sunflower Wreath – Free Crochet Pattern

September 22, 2018

I have been having a lot of fun making wreaths for my home – like my Granny’s Patriotic Wreath. After 4th of July passed, I got to thinking a fall wreath would be the perfect one to make next. I have been wanting to redo my sunflower applique, which you saw the new version a couple weeks ago in my Sunflower 2.0, to make it look more like a sunflower, and sunflowers are everywhere for fall, alongside pumpkins.

I spent a lot of time thinking on how I wanted to arrange them. First, I thought about covering the whole wreath, then I contemplated adding a monogram, but this simple design won me over, and I am soooo happy with it!

This post is a collection of patterns, and a little of the how-to to make your own wreath. If you purchase the PDF, you will receive all three patterns in one.

If you would like a PDF version of this post, you may get one through either my EyeLoveKnots Etsy Shop or EyeLoveKnots Craftsy Shop for a small fee. This fee is to compensate for the views lost when you no longer need to return to the blog to for the information, as you will have your own copy. Plus! It helps fund supplies for new projects to share with you!

Materials:

  • For Sunflowers: Small Amount of Lightweight Yarn or Worsted Weight Yarn – I used two strands of Baby Bee’s Sweet Delight in the Banana and Chocolate colorways
  • For the Leaves: About 50 Yards of Worsted Weight Yarn – I used Red Heart’s With Love in the Lettuce colorway
  • For the Bow & Hanger: Small Amount of Lightweight #3 or Worsted Weight #4 Yarn – I used two strands held together of Baby Bee’s Sweet Delight Yarn in the Teddy colorway
  • H8/5mm Crochet Hook
  • Tapestry Needle for Weaving in Ends
  • Hot Glue Gun and Sticks
  • 12″ Grapevine Wreath (JoAnn’s)
  • Sunflower Applique 2.0, Free Crochet Pattern
  • Basic Leaf Pattern 2 Ways, Free Crochet Pattern
  • Double Layered Bow, Free Crochet Pattern

Material Notes:

I used up yarn from my stash to complete this wreath, but you can use all of the same brand yarn/weight if you have it.

Time Spent:

I worked my wreath up in a couple days, splitting up the pieces, for a total of just over 3 hours.

Measurements:

12″ Wreath

Abbreviations:

SC – Single Crochet

Pattern:

Make 4 Sunflowers using my Sunflower Applique 2.0, Free Crochet Pattern. Set aside.

Make 8 Leaves with vein using my Basic Leaf Pattern 2 Ways, Free Crochet Pattern. Set aside.

Make 1 Bow using my Double Layered Bow, Free Crochet Pattern. Set aside.

Hanger:

Chain 43. SC into the 2nd chain, and each chain across. (42 SC)

R2: Chain 1, turn. SC into the 1st 4 SCs, chain 4, skip the next 4 SC, SC into the next 26 SC, chain 4, skip the next 4 SC, SC into the last 4 SC. (34 SC)

R3: Chain 1, turn. SC into the 1st 4 SCs, work 4 SC into the chain space, SC into the next 26 SC, work 4 SC into the next chain space, SC into the last 4 SC. (42 SC)

R4: Chain 1, turn. SC into the 1st SC, and each SC across.

Border: Chain 1, but don’t turn. SC into the side of Row 3 (this is the same stitch as the last), and into the side of Rows 2 and 1, work 3 SC into the next stitch – corner, working into the opposite side of the foundation chain, SC into the next 40 stitches, work 3 SC into the next stitch – corner, SC 3 into the next side, work 3 SC into the next stitch – corner, SC across into the next 40 stitches, work 3 SC into the next stitch – corner. Join to the first SC. (92 SC)

Weave in ends, and set aside. This wreath hanger is used to hang on a wreath hanger. The open ends will be at the top, and the slit is where the loop of the wreath hanger will be placed through.

Assembly:

Decide where to place your flowers, and leaves. To do so, lay them down on your wreath, and carefully move around until you have found the perfect spots. I say carefully because you don’t want your crocheted pieces to get stuck on any twigs from the wreath.

I laid my flowers down along the bottom of the wreath imagining a line separating the center with two sunflowers on each side. Next I added my leaves in between the sunflowers, making sure they didn’t touch each other, but were sticking out enough to be seen over the sunflowers. After this was just the way I wanted it, I went ahead and hot glued them in place. I also hot glued the bow to the wreath hanger in a way that while the wreath was hanging, you would see it just above the wreath.

You can easily leave the bow off if you don’t want it, or if you don’t use the crocheted hanger, you can just hot glue the bow directly onto the wreath.

Please feel free to make and sell your own Sunflower Wreath using this pattern, but please DO NOT claim this pattern as your own nor should you sell my pattern, and DO NOT re-publish my photos as your own. DO NOT copy and paste my pattern anywhere, link to it instead.

    Your wreath is so welcoming and warm looking. The sunflowers have such friendly ‘faces’. Just precious. I have never learned to crochet so even more in awe of your handiwork!

      It’s funny because up until last year, I really thought sunflowers were a “summer” thing, but nope… Who says crocheted ones can’t be all year though?

      Thanks, Lillian! The Christmas one needs one more little tiny thing, and then it’ll be ready for gifting (I am going to send it to someone I Christmas exchange with). Will make sure to share it before I send it off though.
