In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through the process of crocheting a daisy motif, making it easy for beginners and enjoyable for seasoned crocheters.
Skill Level: beginner
Materials Needed:
Before we begin, gather the following materials:
- Crochet hook (size G/4.0mm is recommended)
- Yarn in two colors: One sheet for the petals (color A) and one sheet for the center (color B)
- Scissors
- 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.
- Form a magical ring (or chain 4 and connect with a slip stitch to construct a ring).
- Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch), work 10 sc into the ring.
- Pull the ring tightly to close. Connect by making a slip stitch to the initial single crochet. (10 sc)
Round 2:
- Ch 2 (counts as first half double crochet). In the same stitch, create 1 half-double crochet.
- 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:
- 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.
- 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:
- Take one daisy center and position it in the center of one daisy petal.
- Utilizing the extended, yellow-colored tail originating from the middle, stitch the center firmly onto the petal.
- Repeat this process for all five daisy petals and the center.
Final Assembly:
- Arrange the five petals in a circle, with their points meeting in the center.
- Using the white yarn and a yarn needle, sew the petals together at their points, securing them in place.
- 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
- Chain 4 stitches using color B. Join the chain into a loop with a slip stitch, forming a ring.
- Within the circle, execute 6 single crochet stitches (sc) using color B.
- Insert the slip stitch into the initial single crochet stitch in order to complete the round.
Step 3: Crochet the Petals
- 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).
- Perform one double crochet (dc) stitch into the middle of the ring.
- Chain 3 stitches.
- Create 2 double crochet stitches by inserting your crochet hook into the center of the ring.
- Chain 3 stitches.
- Insert the slip stitch into the identical center of the ring in order to firmly fasten the initial petal.
Step 4: Continue Crocheting Petals
- To create the second petal, slip stitch into the next single crochet of the center.
- Reiterate the actions outlined in steps 1 through 6 of the preceding section in order to create the second petal in its entirety.
- Continue this pattern around the center until you have six petals in total.
Step 5: Finishing Touches
- After completing the last petal, fasten off the yarn, leaving a tail for weaving in later.
- Utilize a yarn needle to interlace and secure all dangling strands, guaranteeing a tidy completion.
