Materials Needed for Sunflower Stacking Toy Amigurumi Pattern

Assembly Instructions

• Sew the completed pole to one part of the base at round 11, ensuring it stands vertically and is centered properly.
• Align both base parts together matching rounds 6 and 11, sewing through back loops only, and fill with stuffing as you join them.
• After stuffing the base completely, sew the outer edges of both base parts together at round 17 to create a stable foundation.
• Stack rings from largest to smallest, ensuring the large ring fits over the pole first, followed by both middle rings in order.
• Attach the sunflower ring on top as the final stacking piece, with petals facing upward for a beautiful dimensional effect.
• Sew the petiole to each leaf, then attach leaves to the large ring using buttons, snap buttons, or velcro for removable play.
• Assemble both ladybugs completely with all body parts, heads, spots, legs, and eyes before attaching them to leaves with velcro if desired.

Important Notes

• 💡Use stitch markers consistently when working BLO and FLO sections, as these create the distinctive texture that allows rings to stack properly
• 💡Maintain firm and even tension throughout to ensure rings hold their shape when stacked and don't become floppy or misshapen
• 💡Stuff the base very firmly with extra attention to the bottom for stability, as this toy will be handled repeatedly by children
• 💡When changing colors in striped sections, carry yarn up the inside rather than cutting to reduce bulk and create cleaner color transitions
• 💡Count stitches carefully in each round, especially during decrease sections, as accuracy is critical for properly sized openings that fit the pole
• 💡Pin all petals in place on the sunflower ring before sewing to ensure even spacing and symmetrical appearance around the center
• 💡Choose age-appropriate attachment methods for removable pieces—velcro for babies, buttons for older children under supervision

This enchanting sunflower stacking toy pattern combines education and beauty in one incredible project that will be treasured for years. Each element has been thoughtfully designed to teach size gradation and fine motor skills while creating a stunning decorative piece for any nursery. The interactive ladybugs and removable leaves add extra play value that grows with your child.
