The sunflower crochet blanket pattern we’re about to go through is designed and owned by Melissa Moore of the Crafty Kitty Crochet. According to her, she first experimented with making a sunflower Afghan sometime back and she was overwhelmed with the good responses she got.

She started changing some aspects of the blanket and adding her own touches and before she knew it she had her own original design. The pattern is impressive and quite easy to follow, the sunflowers have a very large ‘eye’ and the petals have a definitive shape, rounded at the body of the petal and pointed at the tip. The finished blanket is a wonderful piece of beauty and authenticity.
