Our Sunflower and Gerbera Daisy pattern gives you instructions to make both flowers.  The felted flowers are as big as the real thing. It's knit first, starting at the i-cord stem, then felted. A florist wire is run through the stem so that the flowers stand up.

Yarn: 100% wool, worsted,  the sunflower requires 100 yards in green, 75 yards in yellow and 25 yards in brown; the daisy requires 80 yards in green, 60 yards for the petal color and 10 yards in yellow. 

Needles: Size 10, 16” circular needles (sunflower only), size 10 double point needles, stitch markers, a yarn needle.

Additional Materials:  A handful of polyfil, 18 gauge, 18” florist wires and about 4 feet of ¼” synthetic ribbon to thread through the leaf and flower stems prior to felting. This ensures the stems won’t fuse to themselves as they shrink.

Finished Sizes: In two sizes; the small is the daisy and the large is the sunflower The finished flowers are 15 – 18” long.
