It’s the perfect way to add a touch of brightness to your home, no matter the season.

Whether draped over a couch, folded at the foot of a bed, or gifted to a loved one, the Sunflower Blanket will bring a handmade touch of sunshine wherever it goes.
Yarns, Colors, and Creative Possibilities
To crochet your Sunflower Blanket, choose a soft, medium-weight yarn like worsted weight or DK yarn for the perfect balance between warmth and definition. Popular choices include Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice, Paintbox Yarns Simply Aran, or Red Heart Soft Essentials. These yarns provide vibrant colors and durability, making them great for both display and everyday use.
When it comes to colors, classic sunflower tones work beautifully: golden yellow for the petals, rich brown for the center, and forest or sage green for leaf-like accents. You can also customize the palette to suit your home think deep burgundy, burnt orange, or even pastel sunflowers for a softer aesthetic. The pattern is flexible, so don’t hesitate to get creative.
This blanket also makes a wonderful gift. Whether it’s a baby shower, housewarming, birthday, or holiday gift, a handmade sunflower blanket is both practical and sentimental. It can be used as a decorative throw, a cozy movie-night companion, or even as a picnic blanket during sunny outdoor gatherings.
