Rod needle knitting sunflower method

Stick needle knitting sunflower is generally divided into the following steps:Material preparation:- Stick needle- Cotton thread or wool- Scissors- Needle and threadStep 1: First knit the center part of the flower, you can use light yellow or white cotton thread or wool, and the stick needle to choose the right number for the thread. Start knitting from the center, starting at the right needle tip, with the left knitting needle close to the body, inserting the next loop. This type of knitting is called mesh stitch. Step 2: Continue knitting in the natural direction, with the surrounding loops gradually increasing in size and petals forming. The number of petals can be determined by your preference and the number of loops you have while knitting. Generally, the number of petals in a sunflower ranges from 7 to 12. Step 3: Weave the edges of the petals. When knitting the outermost layer of the petals, if you want to add some details to the flower, such as a brown heart or a green stem, you can knit the coils over the petals again. Once you have completed the outer edges of the petals, remove the crochet from the needle and insert the needle underneath the mesh seam. Step 4: Move the stick needle back to the start of the petal, reinsert and get the appropriate other loop, repeat this process on the next few loops. This will create the other petal and make your sunflower look more complete. Step 5: Once you have woven the last layer of petals, cut the thread. Once the weaving is complete, you can add a flower center to the sunflower, or you can pick out the better looking petals and layer them to give the flower a more layered look. These are the general steps for weaving a sunflower, and it is important to note that the size of the loops and the tightness of the thread should be kept consistent during the weaving process, otherwise the whole flower may appear to be deformed. At the same time, you need to constantly adjust the angle of the needle and thread, which may take a little more time for beginners.
