Required Materials:

1. Yarn Colors:
   • Green yarn (for the base and leaves).
   • Brown yarn (for the center of the flower/stamen).
   • Yellow yarn (for the petals).
   • Additional yarn for wrapping the wire (branch).
2. Hook: Appropriate crochet hook for your yarn size.
3. Wire (15 cm) for leaf support.
4. Cotton: For stuffing the pot.
5. Glue: To secure the branch.
6. Scissors: To cut and trim the yarn.

Important Notes:

1. Magic Ring: Start most sections (base, pot, soil) with a magic ring to create a tight and secure circular beginning.
2. Increases and Decreases: Follow patterns for increases, decreases, and back-loop or front-loop stitches carefully to shape components properly.
3. Wire for Leaves: Bend and hold the wire comfortably while crocheting; the wire adds stability to the leaves.
4. Assembly: Secure pieces such as leaves, branch, soil, and pot together using glue and sewing methods.
5. Adjust Yarn Tension: Ensure your tension is consistent to avoid uneven stitches or shapes.
6. Safety: Handle wire carefully and ensure ends are properly covered.

Detailed Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Base (Green "Seep"):

1. Row 1:
   • Make a magic ring.
   • Crochet 6 single stitches into the ring.
   • Pull the ring tight and slip stitch into the first stitch.
2. Row 2:
   • Chain 1.
   • Crochet 2 single stitches into each stitch (6 increases).
   • Slip stitch into the first stitch to close the row.
3. Row 3:
   • Chain 1.
   • Make 1 single crochet in the first stitch, then an increase in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern for 6 total increases.
   • Slip stitch to complete the row.
4. Repeat Rows 4–5:
   • Adjust the sequence by adding increments to single crochet stitches between increases.
   • Finish by chaining one and fastening off.
   • This forms the green base of the flower.

Step 2: Stamen (Brown Center):

• Follow the same pattern as the green base (seep) to make the stamen.

Step 3: Petals (Yellow):

1. Hold the green base and brown stamen together. Use both pieces as a foundation for the petals.
2. Insert your hook into both stitches (green and brown) to create connected petals.
3. For each petal:
   • Chain 2.
   • Work into the connected stitches, making 1 double crochet and 1 treble crochet (yarn over twice, pull through loops sequentially).
   • Chain 2 and work back with a slip stitch to close the petal.
4. Repeat this pattern for 7 petals initially, leaving a gap for stuffing later.
5. Add 3 more petals to complete the sunflower (total: 10 petals). Finish with a slip stitch, fasten off, and trim excess yarn.

Step 4: Leaves:

1. Create a slip knot and make 8 chains.
2. With Wire:
   • Place the wire under the working yarn and crochet along the wire.
   • Work into the chains as follows:
     • Single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet (vary stitch counts for shaping).
   • Work back along the other side of the chain to form a symmetrical leaf.
3. Wrap the wire with yarn and tie securely.
4. Make two leaves following this process.

Step 5: Pot:

1. Row 1: Make a magic ring and crochet 8 single stitches into the ring. Slip stitch to close.
2. Row 2: Chain 1. Make increases in all stitches (8 increases). Slip stitch to finish.
3. Row 3–4: Single stitch and increase alternately, expanding the base.
4. Row 5: Work back-loop stitches for shaping. Single crochet in every stitch, with increases as per pattern.
5. Row 6–12: Continue single crochet rows without increases (40 stitches per row).
6. Row 13: Begin decreasing to narrow the pot's top. Work decrease stitches (insert hook into 2 stitches, pull through yarn) alternating with single crochets.
7. Row 14:
   • Crochet through front loops only.
   • Skip one stitch, work 4 double crochets into the next stitch, chain 1, and slip stitch into the following stitch.
   • Repeat the pattern to create decorative ruffles at the edge. Finish by fastening off and trimming yarn.
