Sunflower Petals Sunflower Sachet:

You will crochet both centers together, leaving a hole so that you can stuff the sunflower with the polyfil and wax melts. Place the centers wrong sides together. Use the working yarn to crochet the centers together, inserting the hook under the top two loops. Follow the pattern below to make the flower petals. 

1. Start by placing the centers together, wrong sides facing each other.
2. Line up the edges of the centers, so that they line up, stitch for stitch. Use a few pins can help you, if needed.
3. Start by taking one slip st through both centers. Continue to make the flower petals, following the pattern below. Remember to leave an opening.

How to Add Scent to Your Crochet Sunflower Sachets

Adding fragrance is easy! Here are some tried-and-true methods:

• Wax melts — Chop them into small pieces and mix into the polyfil. I’ve had sunflowers and pumpkins scented this way last for over a year.

• Dried lavender — A soft, classic scent that makes your sachets extra relaxing.

• Essential Oils — Adds a lovely and sometimes healing scent that can be refreshed by using a needle and syringe to inject more oil.

Tip: If you want less mess, try putting your scented stuffing in a small piece of knit fabric or yarn into your sachet.

Photo Tutorial: 

The steps correlate with the numbers on the photos.

1. Supplies: small amount of polyfil, wax melt, scissors and a little bowl. Sunflower sachets that have an opening to insert the scented polyfil.

2. Note the opening that creates a little pocket in the sunflower.

3. Use the utility scissors to cut up the wax melt. Letting the chunks fall into a bowl.

4. Grab a small amount of polyfil.

5. Place chunks of wax melts into the polyfil and wrap the polyfil around the wax melt chunks.

6. Stuff the polyfil and wax melts into the sunflower pocket.

After the sunflower is stuffed. Continue to crochet the petals around the sunflower. Fasten off and weave in ends. Follow instruction on how to make the double leaves.

Double Leaf for the Sunflower Sachet (use greenish yarn)

ch8; sc in 2nd ch from hook & nxt ch, hdc in nxt ch, dc in nxt ch, hdc in nxt ch, sc in nxt ch; 2sc in last ch; (first leaf is made, do not end off) ch8 again, sc in 2nd ch from hook & nxt ch, hdc in nxt ch, dc in nxt ch, hdc in nxt ch, sc in nxt ch & last ch

1. Fasten off, tie both yarn tails together.
2. Using yarn tails, thread them into a yarn needle and sew the leaves to the back of a few flower petals in the position that makes you happy. Make sure to catch the flower petal with your needle a time or two.

You can use these little sunflower sachets in your car, throw them in your drawers, hang them with your clothing in a closet. I think they would be adorable tied to twine to make a garland. There are so many things you can do with this Sunflower Sachet!
