Let’s Crochet Your Beautiful Daisy Motif!

This daisy is worked in two main parts: the yellow center and the white petals.

Part 1: The Daisy Center (Color A – Yellow)

Create a Magic Ring (MR).
Round 1: Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch). Work 10 sc into the MR. Join with a sl st to the first sc. (10 sc)
- Pull the MR tight to close. This forms the central disc of your daisy.

FO Color A, leaving a short tail for weaving in. Weave in the starting tail from the MR.

Part 2: The Daisy Petals (Color B – White)

Attach Color B (White) to any sc stitch from Round 1 of the center with a sl st.
Round 2 (Petals):
- Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc). Work 2 tr into the same stitch. Work 1 dc into the same stitch. (This completes one petal).
- Sl st into the next sc stitch from Round 1 of the center.
- Repeat from * to * in each remaining sc stitch around the center, making sure to sl st into the next sc after each petal.
- You should have 10 petals in total. Join with a sl st to the initial sl st where you attached Color B.

Versatile Uses for Your Crocheted Daisy Motif:

Appliqué: Sew onto blankets, hats, scarves, headbands, bags, or clothing for a cheerful floral accent.

Customization & Tips:

Size Adjustment:
- Larger Daisy: Use a thicker yarn (e.g., worsted weight) and a larger hook. You can also increase the initial sc count in Round 1 (e.g., 12 or 15 sc) and adjust the number of stitches in your petals accordingly (e.g., dc, 3 tr, dc).
- Smaller Daisy: Use a finer yarn (e.g., fingering weight) and a smaller hook. Reduce the initial sc count (e.g., 8 sc) and use shorter stitches for the petals (e.g., hdc, 2 dc, hdc).
Petal Fullness: Experiment with the number and type of stitches within each petal (e.g., adding more tr stitches, or using only dc stitches) to change the fullness and shape of your petals.
Color Play: Use different colors for the center and petals to match various themes or seasons!
Embellishment: Sew a small bead or button in the very center of the yellow disc for extra sparkle.
