Crochet sunflowers are the perfect way to spruce up your Summer home decor. These cute and easy crochet sunflower coasters are sure to brighten your day!
Inspiration Behind the Pattern
I was surfing around and came across an ad for Temu sunflower coasters. Well, I’d rather make those then support Temu so that’s how these little cuties were born!
I hope you enjoy making them and please use hashtag #stardustgoldcrochet and show me yours!

Are Sunflower Coasters Easy to Make?
Yes! You can make these up in a day and they are perfect to give as a gift.
They use basic stitches, like single crochet, double crochet and half double crochet. No complicated stitches at all.
All About the Yarn…
I went with Paintbox Yarns Simply Chunky yarn for the brown and yellow parts, but switched up to Impeccable by Loops & Threads for the leaf holder because I liked the bright lime color green and it has a very similar weight.
Yarn Subs: Any worsted or bulky yarn will work great. Here are a few similar yarns to try out in replacement of Paintbox:
