I am so excited to share with you a brand new amigurumi pattern. Save this pin for later.
Design Inspiration
I wanted to do something different this time than my usual designs. I decided to do a sunflower. Then my friend, Erin @Juniperandoakes, is hosting this Plants With Yarn Blog Hop. I knew it would be perfect for this blog hop. This pattern was featured in the Plants With Yarn Blog Hop on June 27, 2022
This adorable (text-only) crochet pattern is available for a free crochet pattern right here on my blog. You can purchase the Ad-free PDF version by clicking the button below.
