The sunflower is a truly magical flower. It's curious, because thinking of a flower that follows the light and warmth of the sun with its corolla makes it seem almost enchanted.
The sunflower has also become famous thanks to the pictorial series of Vincent Van Gogh, who studied its characteristics and transformed it into moral teachings: human beings, like flowers, are born to reach their maximum splendor and finally waste away. It is precisely for this reason, every moment is important and should be lived with vigor.
And now let's pick up the crochet hook and start crocheting our sunflower. With outSailorman yarn the result is guaranteed.

Break the thread and roll the strip obtained in a spiral, the end with the high points inside and fix the coils to the base with hidden stitches.
Let's now move on to making the corolla: start a 5-stitch chain, close it in the round with 1 half stitch in the first of the same and work in the circle obtained:
