Inspired by the Getty Museum’s Van Gogh Sunflowers creative challenge to recreate famous works of art using everyday materials. This unique crochet pattern brings Vincent van Gogh’s iconic Sunflowers to life in yarn. Translating fine art into fiber, this project celebrates creativity, texture, and the joy of interpreting classic masterpieces through a handmade lens.
The design features several three-dimensional crocheted sunflowers arranged in a green vase. All set against a hand-crocheted blue and lavender “canvas” background.

The raised floral elements add depth and visual interest. While the color palette echoes the movement and emotion of Van Gogh’s original painting in a soft, tactile form.
This pattern offers plenty of creative flexibility, allowing you to turn your finished piece into a striking wall hanging or transform it into a decorative pillow.
Whether displayed as fiber art or used as a cozy accent, the finished project instantly brightens and enlivens any room in your home with bold color and artistic flair.
Perfect for crocheters who love art-inspired projects and statement pieces. This pattern is both a conversation starter and a rewarding creative challenge. It’s a beautiful way to blend classic art, modern creativity. And the timeless comfort of crochet into one unforgettable handmade piece.
