Here is a step-by-step tutorial for making the sunflower corner motif shown in your picture.
This design uses a brown center, then yellow puff-stitch petals forming a corner shape.
🌻 SUNFLOWER CORNER PUFF-STITCH PETAL – FULL DETAILED TUTORIAL
⭐ PART 1 — MAKE THE BROWN CENTER
1. Start
- Make a magic ring.
Round 1
- Ch 1
- Work 14 single crochet (SC) into the ring
- Pull the ring tight
- Join with a slip stitch into the first SC
→ You now have a tight brown circle.
Round 2 (to create the thick ring like the photo)
- Ch 1
- Work 1 SC in each stitch around (14 SC)
- Join with slip stitch
Set the brown yarn aside.
⭐ PART 2 — ATTACH YELLOW YARN
Attach yellow yarn into any SC on the brown ring.
GENERAL PUFF STITCH (same for all petals)
To make ONE puff:
- Ch 1
- Yarn over, insert hook into next stitch, pull up a long loop
- Pull the loop up approx. 1.5 cm
- Repeat the above step 6 times total
(you will have many long loops on hook) - Yarn over and pull through ALL loops
- Ch 1 to close the puff
This is one puff petal.
⭐ PART 3 — MAKE HALF OF THE PETALS (left side)
Work 7 puff stitches into the next 7 stitches of the brown circle:
For each puff:
- Insert hook ALWAYS into the next brown stitch
- Pull loops the same height
- After closing the puff, immediately start the next one
After 7 puff stitches:
✔ The shape curves around the brown center
✔ The right side is still empty (as shown in your picture)
⭐ PART 4 — MAKE THE CORNER LOOP (THIS CREATES THAT BIG EMPTY HOLE)
After finishing the 7th puff:
- Ch 5
- Skip 1 brown stitch
- Slip stitch into the next brown stitch
This creates the big loop that forms the corner.
This loop is exactly the same as the big hole in your photo.
⭐ PART 5 — MAKE THE REMAINING PUFF PETALS (right side)
Now continue with puff stitches on the other side of the loop.
Work 7 more puff stitches, one in each brown stitch.
Each puff is:
- Ch 1
- Yarn over, pull up 6 long loops
- Yarn over, pull through all
- Ch 1 to close
After finishing these 7 puff stitches:
✔ Both sides have equal puff petals
✔ The chain-5 loop sits exactly at the top corner
✔ Your work matches the photo perfectly
⭐ PART 6 — FINISH
- Slip stitch into the base of first puff
- Cut yarn, weave in ends
You now have:
🌼 Brown ring
🌼 Yellow puff petals forming an arc
🌼 Chain-5 corner loop exactly like the picture
