Flower and stem
We start knitting with a brown thread:
1. 6 sc in KA (6)
2. 6 inc (12)
3. (inc, sc) * 6 (18)
4. (2 sc, inc) * 4 (24)
We attach a yellow thread and knit a petal : we collect
5 ch, sl-st in the second loop from the hook, then sbn, 2 pssn.
We attach the petal behind the front wall of the loop with a connecting column, skipping 1 column of the previous row. We knit 12 petals in this way.
We left the back half-loops of the 4th row untied. We knit the 5th row for them, attaching a green thread:
5. for the back half-loops (2 sc, dec) * 6 (18) We
stuff the flower a little.
6. (sc, dec) * 6 (12)
7. 6 dec (6)
We make one more decrease, 5 columns remain.
We continue to knit the stem:
8.-16. 5 sbn (9 rows)
You can insert a wire into the stem.
⠀
Leaf (2 parts) We
collect a chain of 10ch. And we knit, starting from the second loop from the hook:
3 sl-st, prs, prss, 2 prs, prss, prs, 3 ch, on the other side of the chain, prs, prss, 2 prs, pss, prs, 3 sl-st.
Leave the thread for sewing.
⠀
Pot
We knit with a red thread:
1. 6 sc in KA (6)
2. 6 inc (12)
3. (inc, sc) * 6, sl-st (18)
4. behind the back half loops 18 sc (18)
5. (inc, 5 sc) * 3 (21)
6.-7. 21 sc (2 rows) (21)
8. (inc, 6 sc) * 3 (24)
9.-12. 24 sc (4 rows) (24)
At the bottom of the pot we put a button or a circle of cardboard the size of the inner diameter.
We do not cut the red thread, leave it on the front side.
We attach the brown thread:
13. for the back half loops (2 sc, dec) * 6 (18)
We fill the pot.
14. (sc, dec) * 6 (12)
15. 6 dec (6)
Leave a brown thread for sewing.
With the left red thread, we tie around the 12th row of ss (connecting posts) for the front half loops.
Similarly, we tie the bottom of the ss for the remaining half loops of the 3rd row, attaching a red thread.
⠀Sew the leaves to the stem. We insert the stem into the left hole of the pot and sew. At will, we sew or glue eyes, embroider a mouth.
Sunflower is ready!
