Crochet Sunflower Plant Pattern – Cute Essential Oil Room Freshener
Hello!
I am so very excited to share with you the pattern for the sunflower potted plant! This was so fun to design and make and it can be used as a room freshener as well! But it is up to you! This sunflower plant uses lace/crochet thread yarn, but I think you could probably use some thicker yarns and it will turn out just as cute!
I have a couple more little flowers to share soon and one bigger project that was what inspired me to make these ones. You can also find the video tutorial for this pattern at the bottom of the page or feel free to just click here!
Let’s get started!

Hooray! Sunflower plant complete! What do you think? I think this sunflower plant is quite fun! You could also hide a small gift underneath the flower for a nice little surprise.
What flowers do you think I will be sharing next? You may have seen a glimpse of one of them in the video tutorial hehe will you be using this sunflower plant as a room freshener? Just add a few drops of essential oils into the cotton ball and you will have a cute and fun little room décor that also smells nice!
