Creating a very easy crochet daisy motif is a delightful project. Follow these step-by-step instructions to make your own:
Materials you’ll need:
- Crochet hook (appropriate size for your yarn)
- Worsted weight yarn in your desired color(s) for the petals (usually white or yellow) and the center (usually yellow)
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
Instructions:
- Start with the center of the daisy:
- Make a magic ring or chain 4 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring.
2. Round 1:
- Chain 2 (counts as the first double crochet).
- Work 12 double crochets into the magic ring. This creates a total of 13 stitches, including the beginning chain-2.
- Slip stitch into the top of the beginning chain-2 to join the round.
3. Round 2:
- Chain 1 (does not count as a stitch).
- Work 1 single crochet in the same stitch as the chain-1.
- Chain 3, skip the next stitch, work 1 single crochet in the next stitch.
- Repeat the * pattern around, creating a total of 6 chain-3 loops.
- Slip stitch into the first single crochet to join the round.
4. Petals of the daisy:
- Switch to the petal color yarn.
- In each chain-3 loop from the previous round, work the following stitches:
- Petal 1: Chain 3, work 4 double crochets into the same chain-3 loop, chain 3, slip stitch.
- Petal 2: In the next chain-3 loop, work the same pattern as Petal 1.
- Repeat Petal 1 and Petal 2 in each chain-3 loop around, creating 6 petals in
total.
5. Fasten off and cut the yarn, leaving a long tail.
6. Optional:
Add a center to the daisy:
- Switch back to the center color yarn (usually yellow).
- Make a magic ring or chain 4 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring.
- Work 6 single crochets into the magic ring. This creates a small circle for the center of the daisy.
- Fasten off and cut the yarn, leaving a long tail.
7. Assembly:
- Place the center of the daisy (if made) onto the center of the petals.
- Use a yarn needle and the long tails to sew the center in place, securing it
to the petals.
8. Weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.
Repeat these steps to create multiple crochet daisy motifs. You can use these motifs to embellish various projects such as blankets, pillows, clothing, or even make a string of daisies for decorative purposes.
Feel free to experiment with different yarn weights, colors, and sizes to create a variety of beautiful crochet daisy motifs. Enjoy the process and have fun creating your own easy crochet daisies!
