Why thank you, Maria! I am so happy to hear that!!! Thank YOU for using my pattern and watching my video :) I hope you love making your sunflowers!!! ~ Melissa
This was my first time going out of my amigurumi comfort zone and I didn't think it'd be so fun! My mom will be very pleased with how you influenced me 😂 she'll be recieving a nice blanket. Great video!
That's awesome, way to go!! I'm so happy you enjoyed the pattern/video! I hope your mom loves the blanket!! Thank you again so much for this awesome comment! ^_^ ~ Melissa
Ok, so I’m making a sunflower bag. I was really struggling to find big enough petals for my bag because the circle is so big, so it’s taken me forever to do this. I found your video, and I saw you doing an extra row before your petal, and it absolutely blew my mind! The rim helps make my petals look a little bigger so it fits my bag. So thank you!
Oh, I'm so happy to hear that!!! Thank you for sharing with me, it made my day! So glad it's working out just right for your bag. Happy Crocheting!!!!!!!
I just found an example of that blanket, then I started to looking for a tutorial video. Such a great and extremely easy to understand video! Thank you so much :)
Love this pattern. Thank you so much for the video. I have been looking for a way to make my sunflowers bigger for my Afghans because they are my best sellers but they take so much time when they are so little. Love this
You are so welcome and thank you! I'm happy you like the video! Sunflowers are so popular, I hope you sell tons of these afghans! The bigger squares really do make the project go faster :) Thanks again!
I used stitch markers on the top of the chain 5, it was much easier for me to see where to crochet the 3 . Also any alternative to joining? Love the pattern am making one now
@@deewahlen1553 That's a great idea! My method was to make the petals on the separate ch 5 and join, I haven't come up with another method as of yet! I'm glad you're enjoying the pattern, that's wonderful! Thank you!!
Hi Lilias! I'm so happy you like my video - thank you!!! Cushion covers sound absolutely lovely - it's definitely okay that you used my pattern to make them!! Great job getting creative and using the squares for another project!! :D Thanks again! ~ Melissa
I guess Im asking randomly but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my password. I love any assistance you can give me
@Ibrahim Jesse I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
*tip* if you’re looking to make the petals more pointed after the single crochet at the top do a double crochet then follow with the triple crochets. It gave my petals a bit more of an angle to them.
Hi Marissa! I'm not sure when I will be able to make another video showing how the granny squares are assembled, but I do have some photos of how to do that in the original blog post! craftykittycrochet.com/2019/03/17/sunflower-square-blanket-crochet-pattern/ Hope that helps!! Thank you so much :)
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing this amazing work! I have a silly question... I’m left-handed. Can I do the same thing but with my left hand? I’ve never done this before! I don’t want to make things more difficult than they need to be, so... is it better just learning with the right hand and getting used to it?
Thank you so much Elena!! You are so welcome and I really appreciate your kind compliments! That's a really good question actually, not silly at all! If you're left handed, then I would recommend trying with your left hand first. I know some folks who are left handed who taught themselves how to crochet right handed, but in general I think it's a bit more difficult than just trying with the left! I'm right handed and have tried teaching myself to crochet left handed and it feels very weird lol!!! There are lots of great tutorials for left handed crocheters out there too, that might help and give more info. I hope that helps!! Thanks again!
Hi! I absolutely love the sunflower! I was wondering if there was any pattern or anyway to fill in the space between the border and the flower. I have found other videos where the sunflower is smaller, but I like the size and style of this one.
Hi Zoe! I'm so happy to hear you love my sunflower pattern! About the spaces between, they are a bit larger since this is a larger granny square! I'm not sure exactly how to go about crocheting between the spaces since I've never tried that, but if you'd prefer not to have any space there, the simplest way I can think of going about it would be to crochet a "back" piece for the square and sew it on perhaps? That would add some time to the project, but you wouldn't be able to see anything through the spaces, at least! Hope that helps!! ~ Melissa
Crafty Kitty Crochet Thats good advice! I just downloaded a sunflower throw pattern. If I share it with you do you think you could do a square so I have a visual? I’m not good at following a guide as I am watching and learning. Let me know because your videos are so helpful!!
@@zoetucker2974 I'm glad it helped! Is it the sunflower throw blanket pattern from my blog? If so, this is actually the video for that pattern! If not, let me know and I can try and help with it the best I can! I'm glad you enjoy my videos!!! ^_^
@@craftykittycrochet4270 www.etsy.com/listing/641020353/vintage-crochet-pattern-sunflowers?ref=user_profile&pro=1 This is the link to where I bought the pattern! Its a different type of square pattern than yours in the video. Even if you can't help, it's still a stunning blanket to check out!
@@zoetucker2974 Ah yes I've seen this one around! It's gorgeous!!! There's a video tutorial on RUclips for one that's very similar, the way that the petals are made reminds me of the pattern you showed me! Maybe having this visual might help? ruclips.net/video/REiYSNGQ34s/видео.html
Hello, I absolutely love it, but I need this blanket to be less hole-y. Is there a way to fill the space between the petals, to it can be actually used as a blanket without disrupting the beautiful flower?
Hi, thank you so much! That's a great question - the easiest way to do it is probably to make a separate square backing for each square using regular single or double crochet. You could also do a fabric backing too. I'm still working on a way to crochet in between the petals without changing the look of the square! Hope that helps! :)
I haven't found a way to do it directly on the square, but I have attached another plain crochet square to the back and it gives a nice effect! You could also do that with fabric. If you use a smaller hook, it will affect the size of the square but you might also notice that the gap becomes smaller. Hope that helps!
You are so welcome and thank you! The yarn is Red Heart Super Saver in Coffee, Gold and Light Sage. There's a link to the pattern in the description that has more info on the supplies, too! ^_^
Hi, thanks for reaching out! My first thought would be to check that the number of stitches on the previous round is correct...if you come up short on the number of stitches on that round, it could be why there isn't enough space for all 12 petals on the next round! Let me know :)
Hi Marina! Unfortunately, I'd have to upload another copy of the video if I removed the music, which I still might do at some point. I apologize if the music is distracting! This was one of my first RUclips videos and I've now learned that no one likes background music :) So my future videos will not have any! Thank you! ~ Melissa
Each square is about 10 inches square, or closer to 9 inches square when assembled into the blanket! Hope that helps :) The link to the full pattern is in the description!!!
@@carmenalvarez5838 That's a great idea, this would look awesome on a vest! I used an H hook. If you're putting it on a circular vest, you probably wouldn't need any of the "square" edging of the later rounds, too!
It just boggles my mind that music is being played while teaching a tutorial. So many do it. If they were in a classroom teaching, would music be olayed. Music is not necessary. It looks like an easy pattern, but too distracting
Hi Lorraine, sorry to hear the music is distracting for you. It was a big trend to have music overlaying the video at the time I recorded this, and I haven't had a chance to release a new version. If you'd still like to try the pattern, you should be able to mute the audio and turn on captions/subtitles to follow along. Hope that helps 🙂
The most balanced crocheted circle is best done by starting with 12 stitches and increasing by 12 each round in order to keep it perfectly round and flat. The 12 petals helps keep that flat and rounded balance in the project. The number 12 is also divisible by 4, which is necessary to turn the circle into a perfectly symmetrical square. Crocheters love perfect squares because they are the 100% easiest shapes to stitch together. So theoretically you could make one with more petals or fewer petals but that number would have to be divisible by 4. So that means when making a sunflower you'd have to choose between 8, 12, and 16 petals. With 8 petals, they would simply be too few and too big to still look like a sunflower. With 16 petals, they would be too small and too many to look like a sunflower. If you want more numerical options for petals, look up (or create your own!) Hexagonal or Octagonal granny "squares". With a hexagonal "squares" you'd need the number of petals divisible by 6. Likewise the octagonal "square" would need the number of petals to be divisible by 8. All while keeping the flower itself proportional. Hope this helps 🙂
My apologies if the music is bothersome; this was my first crochet pattern tutorial video. Unfortunately, I'd have to re-upload it completely to edit the music out. Thanks for your patience!
I hate the music so much I can't watch this. It looks like exactly what I'm looking for and I appreciate that you took the time. But the music is so obnoxious I just can't.
Hi Susanne! Sorry to hear that the music is not for you. You might enjoy the video more if the sound was muted, perhaps! There's also a link to the written pattern (free on my blog) if you're interested in making this but do not prefer the video. Thank you! ~ Melissa
I appreciate that. I will give it a try. I am very much a mechanical learner and learn by watching. Maybe I can mute, read the pattern and watch and still learn. Thank you for your kindness.
@@susannedelisle944 Glad to hear it! I totally understand, visual learning is a big part of crochet in general, too. I hope maybe muting the video and following along in the pattern work out for you! This was one of my first videos and in the future I don't plan on using music (or at least lowering the volume) for a better experience!!! You are so welcome and thanks for your understanding! ~ Melissa
