Sunflowers always look so happy! They’re the perfect touch to any decor for summer or fall – or any season if you just happen to love sunflowers! These sunflowers placemats are easy to make and are perfect on the dining room table or on the table on your deck or patio. What a fun way to make any meal just a little bit prettier!

Pin it for later!

You could also use the smaller placemat, which is about 9 inches across, as a large coaster! What a fun way to brighten up your morning coffee, afternoon tea, or evening glass of wine!

These fantastic flowers are a must have for any sunflower lover! They’d be a perfect compliment to my Sunflower Granny Square pattern (find the pattern HERE!), which looks great as a throw blanket!

If the placemats and granny squares look similar to you, it’s because they are! In fact, these placemats follow the first several rounds of my granny square pattern. If you love video tutorials, here is my Sunflower Granny Square video tutorial – since the first rounds of the square and the placemats are the same, you can follow the video to make these placemats!

My go to yarn colors for sunflowers are a stash favorite of mine, Red Heart Super Saver in Gold (on Amazon HERE!) and Coffee (on Amazon HERE!). They’re bright but not neon; bold but still gentle on the eyes. Just right for sunflowers!!!!
