Are you ready for some daisy love?
Our crochet daisies are really easy to make – the hardest thing is working out what to do with all your flowers. Will it be some bunting, a bookmark, door curtain or retro belt and headband?
You will need some yellow, green and white yarn (if you would like yellow and white daisies). Check the back of your yarn label to determine the recommended crochet hook size.
Step 1: Take your yellow yarn, make a slip knot and then chain 4.
Step 2: Join your chain into a ring by slip stitching into the 4th chain from the hook. Chain 3.
Step 3: Work 11 UK Treble (US Double) Crochet stitches into the centre of the ring. Slip stitch into the 3rd chain of your original 3 chain to close the circle. Fasten off your yarn.
Step 4: Join your white yarn into one of the chain spaces (gaps) between your UK Treble (US Double) stitches. Work 12 chain stitches. Apologies for the shine on some of the pictures – I took the photos on a train and the table had a bit of a gleam! Nothing like a bit of crochet on the go!
Step 5: Make your first petal by working a UK Double crochet (US Single) into the chain space where your petal chain started.
Step 6: Slip stitch into the next chain space then chain another 12 stitches.
Step 7: Work a UK double (US single) crochet stitch back into the same chain space to form your next petal, then slip stitch into the next chain space and work another 12 chains.
Step 8: Carry on like this until you have 12 petals.
Step 9: Finish off the round by working a slip stitch back into your first petal position. Fasten off your yarn and work in the loose ends.
Step 10: Once you have made enough delightful daisies for your needs, ‘block them’ into shape. I blocked mine by pining the petals into position on my ironing board and hovering a steam iron about an inch above.
Step 11: The last step is to join your daisies together using a chain of green yarn looped through a petal on each flower.
