How to Crochet a Sunflower

You do not need to know how to crochet a magic circle to make the sunflower.

These make a cute little coaster or make for the wind spinner; make 2 and sew them together. I used a lip stitch.

1. Chain 2 to start, working into the first chain on the hook, SC in each stitch around, (Do NOT join) and place marker (8 sc)
2. Work 2 sc into each stitch around (16 sc)
3. (Work 2 sc, sc in the next stitch) repeat around (24 sc)
4. (Work 2 sc, sc in the next 2 stitches) repeat around (32)
5. JOIN yellow yarn, chain 1, and single crochet into the SAME space, *skip 1 stitch, 5 treble crochet in next stitch, skip 1, single crochet in next* repeat ** around.

Fasten off and weave in all edges. Now you just need to find somewhere to hang it.
