**Mate­ri­als You’ll Need**:
- Cot­ton, acrylic, or worsted weight yarn in your favorite col­ors.
- A 4 mm cro­chet hook.
- A tapes­try nee­dle for weav­ing in ends.
- A pair of scis­sors.

**Get­ting Start­ed**:
- To cre­ate the sun­flow­er’s cen­ter, we’ll begin with the mag­ic ring (also known as the mag­ic cir­cle). This allows for a neat and adjustable start­ing point.
- Work a sin­gle cro­chet stitch (sc) into the mag­ic ring and tight­en the ring.
- Con­tin­ue with a slip stitch (sl st) to secure the cen­ter and cre­ate the first petal of the sun­flower.

**Adding Petals**:
- The sun­flower will have mul­ti­ple petals. To make the first petal, start with a chain space and then work dou­ble cro­chet (dc) stitch­es to give it a full, tex­tured appear­ance.
- Repeat the process to cre­ate more petals even­ly spaced around the cen­ter. This is where your cre­ativ­i­ty can shine, as you can choose the num­ber of petals and use dif­fer­ent col­ors to make your sun­flower unique.
