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. - 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. - 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. - 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. - Fasten
off and cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. - 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. - 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. - 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!
