Product Description

Bring bold golden color and layered botanical detail to your next crochet project with this Layered Sunflower C2C crochet pattern set.

The design features a large, full sunflower built from multiple layers of golden yellow, ochre and burnt-orange petals surrounding a warm, darker center. A smaller side bud adds balance to the composition, while structured green stems and broad sage foliage fill the lower portion of the design. An ivory background keeps the flower bright and clearly defined, and a slim deep-green frame finishes the botanical composition.

Your download includes five English-language PDF files: four different ways to follow the same Layered Sunflower design, plus a six-page illustrated diagonal box crochet technique guide using US crochet terms.

PROJECT SIZE — PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING

• Chart size: 240 blocks wide × 340 blocks high
• Total: 81,600 C2C blocks
• Total diagonal crochet rows: 579
• Pattern type: C2C / corner-to-corner crochet graphgan
• Each chart square represents one C2C block, not one individual stitch
• This is a large, detailed 11-color project
• Chart dimensions are block counts, not inches or centimeters

The Layered Sunflower project begins at the bottom-left corner and progresses toward the top-right corner.

Finished size depends on your yarn, hook, C2C block construction and personal tension.

For scale only, if each completed C2C block measures approximately 1 cm square, the finished piece would measure approximately 240 × 340 cm / 2.4 × 3.4 meters, before any additional edging.

Make a swatch before beginning if you need to calculate your own finished dimensions.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE — 5 PDF FILES

1. Professional Printable Chart Pack — 21 pages

A detailed visual chart version of the complete Layered Sunflower design.

The complete 240 × 340 graph is divided into 20 enlarged chart sections. Each section includes its position within the full pattern, row and column ranges, an original-area reference and coordinates shown every 10 blocks. Each square represents one C2C block.

Includes:

• Full-design reference image
• Complete 11-color A–K key
• 20 enlarged chart sections
• Row and column coordinates
• Section-position references
• Original-area guides
• Coordinates every 10 blocks
• Color-coded pixel grid

This format is especially useful if you prefer crocheting directly from a visual graph.

2. Premium Boxed Written Instructions — 37 pages

A spacious written version covering the complete 579 diagonal crochet rows.

Each row is presented separately and uses the full color names, rather than requiring you to work only from letter codes.

Includes:

• Full color names
• Consecutive block counts
• Individual boxed diagonal rows
• RS / WS labels
• Reading-direction arrows
• Total blocks per row
• Complete color-run sequences

The written sequence continues all the way through Row 579, finishing with a single Ivory block.

3. Professional Row Cards — 75 pages

A highly visual row-card version of the complete Layered Sunflower pattern.

Each row panel includes:

• Row number
• Total number of blocks
• RS / WS designation
• Lower-to-upper or upper-to-lower direction
• Row-coordinate range
• Column-coordinate range
• A–K color tags
• Consecutive coded block runs

The file uses the same 11-color key throughout and continues through the final Row 579.

This layout is useful if you prefer working from one clearly separated diagonal row at a time.

4. Compact Row-by-Row Block Instructions — 18 pages

A condensed written version of the same complete 579-row sequence.

Each row contains:

• Row number
• RS / WS label
• Total block count
• Reading direction
• Row coordinates
• Column coordinates
• A–K letter-coded color sequence
• Consecutive block counts

The compact version places more rows on each page and is convenient for digital viewing or for crocheters who prefer a dense written reference.

Its final page continues from Row 561 through Row 579, ending with one A / Ivory block.

5. Diagonal Box Crochet for Pixel Patterns — 6 pages

An illustrated technique guide explaining how to turn pixel charts into diagonal crochet blocks.

The guide uses US crochet terminology and explains the core principle that each pixel square becomes one crochet block. It uses terms including ch, dc and sl st, with a typical block built from a ch-3 side plus 3 dc.

It covers:

• Making the first C2C block
• Increasing along diagonal rows
• Joining neighboring blocks
• Working the longest diagonal
• Decreasing
• Reading pixel charts diagonally
• Color-change guidance
• Troubleshooting
• Single crochet edging reference

ELEVEN-COLOR PALETTE

• A — Ivory — 33,666 blocks
• B — Golden Yellow — 13,297 blocks
• C — Ochre — 8,922 blocks
• D — Burnt Orange — 6,373 blocks
• E — Sage — 8,052 blocks
• F — Stem Green — 3,477 blocks
• G — Border Green — 3,330 blocks
• H — Warm Gray — 2,488 blocks
• I — Rust Brown — 1,243 blocks
• J — Pale Gold — 726 blocks
• K — Tan Brown — 26 blocks

Together, the eleven colors account for all 81,600 blocks in the design.

Golden Yellow forms much of the sunflower's brighter outer petals, while Ochre and Burnt Orange build the deeper layered petal sections. Rust Brown and Tan Brown provide small darker details, and Pale Gold adds lighter highlights.

Sage and Stem Green define the foliage and structural stems, while Border Green creates the slim frame around the full composition. Ivory forms the light background, and Warm Gray appears as an additional neutral detail color.

The listed color names are visual references and are not tied to specific yarn-brand shade numbers.

Actual screen, printer and yarn colors may differ. To preserve the layered appearance of the sunflower, keep clear tonal separation between Golden Yellow, Ochre and Burnt Orange.

HOW TO USE THE FILES

The Layered Sunflower sequence starts at the bottom-left corner and works toward the top-right.

Each written row represents one C2C diagonal.

Odd-numbered rows: RS, lower-to-upper
Even-numbered rows: WS, upper-to-lower

Written color runs are followed from left to right, and written row coordinates count from the bottom.

For this rectangular 240 × 340 project, follow the project-specific shaping sequence:

Rows 1–240 — Increase

Rows 241–340 — Rectangular Middle

Rows 341–579 — Decrease

Do not begin the final decrease immediately after Row 240. Continue through the rectangular middle section before starting the final decrease.

The general technique guide also notes that a rectangular chart can contain a middle section before decreasing.

The Premium Boxed Instructions, Professional Row Cards and Compact Row-by-Row Instructions all represent the same 579 diagonal rows in three different layouts.

The Printable Chart Pack presents the same Layered Sunflower design visually, while the fifth PDF provides general C2C technique support.

EXPERIENCE AND PROJECT NOTES

The included six-page guide explains the basic C2C method, but the Layered Sunflower itself is a substantial multi-color project.

With 81,600 blocks and 11 colors, the layered flower contains many changes between yellow, ochre, orange, brown and neutral shades, while the leaves and stems add additional green transitions.

This project is particularly suitable for crocheters comfortable with:

• C2C crochet blocks
• Pixel or graph patterns
• Rectangular C2C shaping
• Increasing and decreasing
• Multiple yarn colors
• Frequent color changes
• Short and long color runs
• Reading written block sequences

If C2C crochet is new to you, practice on a smaller sample before beginning the full project.

MATERIALS

Yarn, crochet hook and physical materials are not included.

The PDFs provide exact block totals for each color, but block totals are not yarn-yardage estimates.

Actual yarn requirements and finished dimensions depend on:

• Yarn weight
• Hook size
• C2C block construction
• Crochet tension
• Individual yarn choice

Make a swatch first if you need to estimate finished dimensions or yarn quantities.

VIEWING AND PRINTING

The 21-page Professional Printable Chart Pack is formatted for A3 paper and divides the full pattern into 20 enlarged sections.

The 37-page Boxed Instructions, 75-page Professional Row Cards, 18-page Compact Instructions and 6-page technique guide are formatted for US Letter.

You may follow the PDFs digitally or print only the pages you need.

For the clearest results, use a color screen or color printer so the similar golden, ochre, orange, brown and green shades remain easy to distinguish.

If the enlarged A3 chart pages are scaled down to smaller paper, the individual grid squares and coordinate information will also become smaller.
