Crocheted Daisy Tutorial

Today is my Mom’s birthday. Her favorite flower was daisies so in memory of her, I wanted to share this adorable crocheted daisies tutorial. Mom would have been all over this pattern!

I’ve always liked daisies but now that she’s gone, I find myself drawn to them more and more. I have some of her daisy items now and keep them where I can see them every day. They never fail to bring a smile to my face.

Be sure to pin this crocheted daisy tutorial so you can refer back to this crochet pattern later.

Crocheted Daisy Tutorial

Supplies Needed:

1. Crochet hook – 3.5
2. Yarn – light or medium light
3. Scissors
4. Tapestry Needle

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1:

Select yellow yarn for the center of the crochet daisy pattern. Start with a slip knot and then chain 5.

Step 2:

Form a ring with the 5 chain stitches by working a slip stitch through the first chain (the slip knot).

Step 3:

Work a SC (Single Crochet) through the ring.

Step 4:

Work a total of 12 SC through the ring. Work a slip stitch through the first SC after working the 12^th SC. Pull out a few inches of the yellow yarn and then cut off the yarn from the bundle. 

Step 5: 

Select white yarn. Make a slip knot and then pull the slip knot through any chain (top chain of the yellow SC). 

Step 6:

Now, work 7 chain stitches.

Step 7:

Keeping the hook on the 7^th chain, skip the 6^th chain, and then insert the hook into the 5^th chain.

Step 8:

Work a SC through the 5^th chain.

Step 9:

Work a HDC (Half Double Crochet) through the next chain.

Step 10:

Work a DC into the next chain.

Step 11:

Work another DC into the next chain.

Step 12:

Work a HDC into the next chain and a SC into the next chain, which should be the last chain stitch of the petal base.

Step 13:

Work a ST (Slip Stitch) into the next chain of the ring (yellow ring). 

Step 14:

Similarly, crochet the next petal.

Step 15:

Continue to crochet petals (there should be a total of 12 petals) until your hook reaches the first petal. Finish the crochet with a slip stitch and then pull out a few inches of the yarn. 

Step 16:

Cut off the yarn from the bundle (leaving a few inches extra). Attach a tapestry needle with the open end of the yarn and work running stitch on the backside of the daisy pattern.

Step 17:

After stitching the remaining yarn on the backside of the daisy pattern, cut off extra yarn (if necessary). 

You can add these to a sweater as a little decorative touch, add a pin-back on the back to turn it into a brooch, attach to a headband, or find so many other ways to use these adorable little daisies.
