Center of Sunflower:
Magic Ring:

- Work 1 chain to secure the magic circle.
Round 1:
- Work 8 single crochets into the magic circle.
- Pull the strand tight to close the circle, then slip stitch into the first single crochet.
Round 2:
- Chain 1, then work 2 single crochets in each stitch around.
- You should have a total of 16 single crochets. Finish with a slip stitch into the first single crochet.
Sunflower Petal Base:
Round 3:
- Chain 1, start with 1 single crochet, then 2 single crochets in the next, follow with 1 single crochet and 2 in the next, repeat around.
- Slip stitch to the first single crochet to close the round (24 stitches).
Round 4:
- Chain 1, work 1 single crochet in each stitch around.
- Slip stitch to close the round (24 stitches).
- Cut the yarn and leave a tail for sewing.
Joining the Circles:
- Crochet another circle following the same steps as above but do not cut the yarn after Round 4.
- Place both circles wrong side together.
- Work through the back loops of the front circle and both loops of the back circle, single crocheting them together. Leave a small opening to add stuffing.
- Add stuffing, then continue to single crochet closed.
Petals:
Switch to Light Yellow Yarn:
- Work from the back loops (which are leftover from joining), slip stitch to start, chain 2.
- Work 2 double crochets, chain 3, then slip stitch in the same loop for a picot.
- Chain 2 and slip stitch in the next loop. Repeat this step around for the first layer of petals.
Darker Yellow Yarn for Second Layer:
- With the darker shade, work in the loops right behind the first layer petals.
- Follow the same pattern as above to create a second layer of petals between the gaps of the first layer.
Final Touches:
- To create the loop for the key ring, chain 25 from any point on the edge, slip stitch into the same space, and then cut the yarn.
- Weave in any loose ends.
- Attach the key ring to the loop.
