If you’ve landed on this page, chances are you have been taking part in one of my crochet events, challenges or CALs and you have a free PDF pattern waiting for you.
You’ll find your download just below, so you don’t have to hunt for it. But while you’re here, I’d love to introduce myself properly – especially if this is your first visit to Sunflower Cottage Crochet.
Hi, I’m Helen!

I’m the crochet designer, blogger and slightly yarn-obsessed person behind Sunflower Cottage Crochet.
I’m also a wife, mum to a wonderfully sassy teenager, and someone who firmly believes that crochet should be enjoyable – not something that leaves you glaring at your yarn and wondering where it all went wrong!
I started crocheting when I was 14, and rather unusually, I used it to help me revise for exams.
I would sit making granny square after granny square while repeating dates, facts and events to myself. Keeping my hands busy somehow helped my brain concentrate.
Lots of crocheters tell me that crochet quietens their thoughts. For me, it has always done almost the opposite – crochet helps me think.
Where can you find me?
You can find me in all of the usual places. My FB Community group is very active and very welcoming! Of course, I would love it if you wanted to sign up to my weekly emails too.
