How to Crochet Sunflower Curtain Tieback for Spring
This video shows how to crochet a sunflower curtain tieback from scratch. The creator demonstrates how to make the long strap using cotton yarn, then sews it neatly before crocheting two sizes of sunflower flowers—2-inch and 3-inch. Each flower includes a brown center and yellow petals, assembled with green backing and slight stuffing for shape. The video is detailed and beginner-friendly, ideal for crafters looking to create beautiful, handmade home decor.
Crochet Sunflower Curtain Tieback
Materials Used
Yarn:
Yellow (No. 09), Brown (No. 61), Green (No. 41) — 4-ply cotton yarn for the flower
8-ply cotton yarn for the curtain strap
Hooks:
Size 30 for flowers
Size 60 for the strap
Other Tools:
Needle for stitching
Polyester fiber for stuffing
Making the Curtain Strap
Begin by chaining with 8-ply yarn to reach a length of 120 cm
The exact number of chains is flexible, depending on desired length
Once the chain is complete, crochet around the cord using slip stitches (C) for structure
Join the two sides by folding in half and sewing the edges together with precision
The result is a strong, flat strap suitable for wrapping around curtains
Creating the Sunflower (2 Sizes)
Small Flower (2-inch)
Start with a brown center, crocheting in rounds:
Round 1: 6x stitches
Round 2: 6V
Round 3: 6 XV
Round 4: 2XV x6
Use green yarn for the back piece, following the same steps
Sew both sides together to form the base
Petal Formation (for Small Flower)
Use yellow yarn to crochet 12 petals:
Each petal includes chains, double crochets (F), and pointed ends for realism
Light stuffing added before final petals to give the flower volume
Sew around the edge to form a complete sunflower
Large Flower (3-inch)
Follow same initial steps as small flower for rounds 1–4
Add two extra rounds (5 & 6):
Round 5: 3XV x6
Round 6: X around (30 stitches)
This results in a larger base, and then petals are made similarly but scaled slightly bigger
Both brown and green sides are made and stitched together
Final Assembly
Attach the completed sunflower(s) to the curtain strap
Secure using thread and needle
Optionally, combine different sizes for a layered decorative effect
