Sunflower
All of these plants are worked in the round, move marker up with each round to help keep your place. With pumpkin yarn for center of sunflower Ch 2, then make 5sc in the 2nd ch from the hook, Pm last sc made. 5sc Row 1: 2sc in each sc around. 10sc Row 2: Sc in each sc around. 10sc Row 3: 2sc in each sc around. 20sc Row 4: Sc in the next sc, 2sc in the next sc around. 30sc Row 5: Sc in the next 2sc, 2sc in the next sc around. 40sc Row 6&7: Sc in each sc around. 40sc End off.

End off and weave in all ends. Place black safety eyes (l used 15mm but use whatever you have) in center with the petals and add a stitched smile. Then sew the second center to back, stuffing firmly before sewing up all theway.
Plant Stem and Leaf
If you do not want put plants in a pot, like the second time I made these to be like real amigurumi because they were toys for my daughter. I designed a simple stem and leaves for use on any of the potted style plants that you don't want to put in a pot. For stem, with green yarn Ch 8 st, then sc in 2nd ch from hook and all the remaining chs (7sc), then ch1 turn. Row 1: Sc in each sc and then ch 1 turn. Row 2: Repeat row 2 until the strip measures 4 inches. Fold lengthwise wrong sides together and then stuff lightly and sew up ends—stitch to plant. For the leaf, Ch 6 and sc in 2nd ch from hook, then dc in next 2 ch, trc in next ch, dc in next ch and hdc in the last ch. End off and weave in ends. Make 2 or 3 and attach to Stem.

For stem, ch7, sc in the 2nd ch from hook and remaining ch for 6sc total. End off and sew to stem to circle and then to top of jalapeno. I used white felt for jalapeno face like one big circle and one little circle and a rounded off triangle for a mouth, I drew on details with a sharpie and used craft/fabric glue to attach it. Here you could also use safety eyes or stitch on details-choose whatever is easier for you. In the above picture I stitched all the details on.

For the Tall -nut, with light brown yarn follow steps directions for the Wall nut to row 12, (repeating row 7---9 more times)-- that is 15 times total, then do rows 13- 20 of wall nut to finish tall nut. I used the same white felt and yarn to make the face on the tall nut.
Basic Large Peas
I used a basic large and basic small peashooter together to make a split pea, but you can use just the basic large and make a peashooter, gatlin pea, and repeater and make it blue to make a frozen pea shooter. You can use the basic small and make 3 to make a three-peater which is why I designed a basic large and small so that you can make whatever pea you want. With green yarn, ch 2, 6sc in the 2nd ch from the hook. 6sc Row 1: 2sc in each sc around. 12 sc Row 2: Sc in next 2sc, 2sc in the next sc around. 16sc Row 3: Sc in each sc around. 16sc Row 4: Sc in next 2sc, 2sc in the next sc around. 20sc Row5: Sc in each sc around. 20sc Row 6: Sc in next 2sc, 2sc in the next sc around. 25sc Row 7-8: Sc in each sc around. 25 sc Row 9: Sc in next 2sc, sc2tog around. 20 sc Row 10: Sc in next 2sc, sc2tog around. 16sc Row 11-12: Sc in each sc around. 16sc Row 13: Sc in next 2sc, 2sc in the next sc around. 20sc Row 14: Sc in each sc around. 20sc End off.

Peas are all about the details the split pea is a peashooter and a repeater stuck together, the repeater has eyebrows, I stitched mine on with black yarn. A gatlin pea has dark marks under his eyes and a hat.
Basic Small Peas

Gatlin Pea
For this pea make the large basic pea stuffing only the round head part, you will be putting 4 rolls of gray felt into the hole for shooters. For this I cut 4 felt rectangles that would stick out about an inch or so and glued them into tight rolls. I then glued the top 2 rolls to the bottom 2 and glued the inside of the mouth and inserted them into the opening. I used fabric/craft glue that takes overnight to dry completely but it is very sturdy, you could also crochet the tubes but they are small and I found it easier to use felt. For the Gatlin pea army hat, with dark green yarn ch 2, 6sc in the 2"d ch from the hook. 6sC Row 1: 2sc in each sc around. 12sc Row 2: Sc in next 2sc, 2sc in the next sc around. 16sc Row 3: Sc in the next 3sc, 2sc in the next sc around.20sc Row 4-5: Sc in each sc around. 20sc Row 6: Sc in next 2sc, 2sc in the next sc around. 24sc Row 7: Sc in each sc around. 24sc (for the flap) Ch 1 turn.

For 2nd flap skip 7sc (so that you are on opposite side of hat) follow row 8 -11 for making the flap. Weave in ends and leaving flap strings to tie hat on the pea.

Putting 2 eyes in this small space is tricky so if you have some smaller than 9mm this is a good place to use them. Make 3 of these petals for the blover, with dark green yarn ch 2, 2sc in the 2nd ch from the hook-ch 1 turn. 2sc Row 1: Sc in both sc-ch 1 turn. 2sc Row 2: 2sc in each sc around-ch 1 turn. 4sc 3: Sc in the next sc, 2sc in the next 2 sc, sc in the last sc-ch 1 turn. 6sc Row 4: Sc in each sc around- ch 1 turn. 6sc 5: 2sc in the next sc, sc in the next 4 sc, 2sc in the last sc- ch 1 turn. 8: Row 6: Sc in first sc, 2hdc in next sc, dc trc dc in the next sc, sl st in the next 2sc, dc trc dc in next sc, 2hdc in next sc, sc in the last sc.

Now using dark red yarn, Ch 6 turn and sc in the 2nd ch from hook and in the remaining ch. (5sc) then sc in the end and 5sc in the opposite side the ch and sc in the end12sc total. I used this color because it is intended to look like the inside if the zombie mouth. I cut 2 different size circles of white felt for eyes and little nips of it for the teeth, attached with craft glue. I stitch lines in for a nose and forehead wrinkles, and separated black yarn to leave random stray hair. For zombie accessories, I used a free amigurumi safety cone pattern But also a small bucket would be cute. Be Calm and Crochet On
