Hi Di, the second row is worked on top of the first row, although you can work it on the opposite side of the chain if you prefer. Feel free to try your other suggestions, and let me know how they go! They sound doable

Oops, should have said in suggestion 2:

join yellow to centrepiece, work Row 1, slip stitch back into centrepiece to secure petal, then work Row 2. This would mean yarn is now at the outer edge of petal, so would need to slip stitch back down side of petal to get to the centrepiece again, ready to work next petal? Hope that makes sense – trial and error methinks!

On Row 2 of the petal, am I supposed to be working into the opposite side of the foundation chain, or back along the top of stitches in Row 1, please?

I was also wondering if this would work:

1. make all the petals in a continuous strip and then sew it to the centrepiece, or

2. join yellow to centrepiece, work Rows 1 and 2, then slip stitch back into the centre piece to secure petal, then work (maybe) another slip stitch and repeat all the way around?

May give it a try …

Hiya Rachel,

I’ve just made your sunflower and it’s lovely! I actually made 2 lots of the center, petals and leaves and then sewed the individual parts together stuffing with toy filler as I went, it’s really effective 3D sunflower! It’s meant to be a gift for someone but I’m going to have a hard time persuading my 2 year old to part with it, lol! Leave me an email address if you want me to email you a photo!
