Skill Level: beginner

Materials Needed:

Before we begin, gather the following materials:

1. Crochet hook (size G/4.0mm is recommended)
2. Yarn in two colors: One sheet for the petals (color A) and one sheet for the center (color B)
3. Scissors
4. Yarn needle

Abbreviations:

• ch: chain
• sl st: slip stitch
• sc: single crochet
• hdc: half double crochet
• dc: double crochet
• tr: treble crochet
• st(s): stitch(es)

Pattern:

Daisy Petals (make 5): Note: The petals are made in continuous rounds.

Round 1: Start with the white yarn.

1. Form a magical ring (or chain 4 and connect with a slip stitch to construct a ring).
2. Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch), work 10 sc into the ring.
3. Pull the ring tightly to close. Connect by making a slip stitch to the initial single crochet. (10 sc)

Round 2:

1. Ch 2 (counts as first half double crochet). In the same stitch, create 1 half-double crochet.
2. Perform 2 half-double crochet stitches in each stitch around. Connect by making a slip stitch to the top of the initial chain-2. (20 hdc)

Round 3:

1. Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch). *In the following stitch, create 1 single crochet, 1 half double crochet, 2 double crochets, 1 half double crochet, and 1 single crochet. Repeat from * around.
2. Make a connection by using a slip stitch to the initial single crochet. Finish off and thread the loose ends through.

Daisy Center: Using yellow yarn, create a magic ring (or chain 2 and work 6 single crochet into the second ch from the hook). Pull the ring tightly to close. Attach by making a slip stitch to the initial single crochet. Securely finish and trim, ensuring a lengthy strand for stitching.

Daisy Stem: Using green yarn, chain a desired length for the stem (approximately 5 inches). Securely finish the stitching and thread the loose ends through the fabric.

Assembling the Daisy:

1. Take one daisy center and position it in the center of one daisy petal.
2. Utilizing the extended, yellow-colored tail originating from the middle, stitch the center firmly onto the petal.
3. Repeat this process for all five daisy petals and the center.

Final Assembly:

1. Arrange the five petals in a circle, with their points meeting in the center.
2. Using the white yarn and a yarn needle, sew the petals together at their points, securing them in place.
3. Take the green stem and attach it to the bottom of the daisy by sewing it securely to the base of the petals

Step by step:

Step 1: Start with a Slip Knot

To begin crocheting the daisy motif, create a slip knot with your color A yarn. Insert your crochet hook into the slip knot, and you’re ready to start.

Step 2: Crochet the Center

1. Chain 4 stitches using color B. Join the chain into a loop with a slip stitch, forming a ring.
2. Within the circle, execute 6 single crochet stitches (sc) using color B.
3. Insert the slip stitch into the initial single crochet stitch in order to complete the round.

Step 3: Crochet the Petals

1. To initiate the initial petal, create a chain of three stitches employing color A. This particular chain will be accounted for as your inaugural double crochet (dc).
2. Perform one double crochet (dc) stitch into the middle of the ring.
3. Chain 3 stitches.
4. Create 2 double crochet stitches by inserting your crochet hook into the center of the ring.
5. Chain 3 stitches.
6. Insert the slip stitch into the identical center of the ring in order to firmly fasten the initial petal.

Step 4: Continue Crocheting Petals

1. To create the second petal, slip stitch into the next single crochet of the center.
2. Reiterate the actions outlined in steps 1 through 6 of the preceding section in order to create the second petal in its entirety.
3. Continue this pattern around the center until you have six petals in total.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

1. After completing the last petal, fasten off the yarn, leaving a tail for weaving in later.
2. Utilize a yarn needle to interlace and secure all dangling strands, guaranteeing a tidy completion.
