**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.
