Sunflower
Sunflower as a tidy 26 by 29 filet motif with a strong silhouette that survives even on a smaller grid, ideal for springtime throws, table runners, and floral gift squares. Load it in the editor to adjust the spacing, add a surrounding frame, or mirror it for a matched pair, then save or print the finished chart.

Skill level: easy
A relaxed step up from the simplest motifs. There is a touch more detail to follow, yet nothing here needs advanced technique — just steady counting.
Yarn and hook
Size 10 cotton thread on a steel hook makes a fine sunflower panel; switch to DK or worsted cotton with a 3.5–4 mm hook and it grows into a soft, blanket-weight piece. Traditional filet is a single colour, which keeps the block-and-mesh contrast readable, but you can always work the background in a second shade.
Project ideas
Reach for the sunflower when you want a thank-you gift. It looks at home on a tote-bag panel and a spring table runner alike. Crop or enlarge it in the editor so it fits your project exactly.
Who it's for
Stitched for a mother, the sunflower suits a birthday beautifully. Frame it with a border to give a plain gift a finished, considered look.
Size, printing, and scaling
At a 4-mesh-per-inch gauge the chart finishes around 6.5 by 7.3 inches; a finer thread shrinks it and a heavier yarn grows it, so check your own gauge first. Print the numbered grid to follow row by row, or open it in the editor to crop, enlarge, or tile the design before exporting a PDF or PNG.
