• Experience level required: Advanced Beginner to Intermediate

• Amount of sewing required: No Sewing Required 

• Time required: approximately 3 hours

Materials: 

• Yarn: Green, yellow, brown worsted weight yarn used for the actual sunflower. For the pot, Bernat velvet yarn in pine was used. 

Hook: 

• a gifted set of wooden crochet hooks were used. I used a size 3.5 mm hook to create the flowers and the leaves. 

Notes:

This pattern is a five out of five from me! It is very easy to read, flows nicely from one section to the next, and comes with a printer-friendly PDF version. The most challenging part of this project is making the leaves appear as you want them to. I purchased the pattern on sale, and as of July 6, 2025, it is now only about $2. For the quality, the pattern is a steal even at the full price of $6. The pattern includes many pictures of both finished products and of every step of the process. With thorough explanations of each step. This pattern would be an excellent project for a beginner to advance their skills.

Notes:

The duck pattern works up really quickly in just under an hour. I crochet somewhere in the middle, I am not the fastest, but I am not the slowest either. Including the details such as embroidering the face, and making the flower hat the total amount of time was approximately an hour and a half. This pattern was super easy to follow and very beginner friendly. The three duck bundle allows for a beginner to advance their skills with color work and design creativity with the hats. It is a five out of five 🦆 experience!
