A sweet little Crochet Daisy is such a fun project when you want something quick, cheerful and something you can use in other makes.
This pattern works great for adding a handmade touch to bags, hats, blankets, bookmarks, garlands or gift wrap. I picked a tutorial on a simple beginner-friendly daisy flower that can be used as a little appliqué or decoration.
Why You’ll Love This DIY
This daisy is quick to make, easy to customize in different colors, and perfect for using up little bits of yarn. It’s a nice project when you want a quick finish without too much fuss.
Materials Required
You will need: yarn, crochet hook, scissors and yarn needle.
Choose a yarn and hook size that will give you the right fit and hand.
What kind of yarn is best for this project
A smooth yarn looks nice here as it helps the flower shape to show up well. Cotton is a good choice for crisp petals, soft acrylic is nice if you want a softer look.
Level of Skill
Beginner friendly. The tutorial makes it seem like a cute and easy daisy flower project.
Size & Fit Guide
If you want the flower larger or smaller change your yarn weight and hook size. Repeat the petal section until the flower looks balanced and adjust the final use based on your project.
Stitches Employed
The tutorial clearly shows a small crochet flower made in rounds with petal shaping. The search preview does not show the exact stitch naming, so best to watch the video carefully to follow the stitch sequence.
How to do it
Begin the Foundation
Start in the middle of the flower, and create a small, round base. This makes the center of the daisy and also gives you the spots where the petals will be made.
Work the Main Section
Change to your petal color, crochet each petal around the center. The flower builds the petal one by one until the daisy shape appears.
Resize Change Size
You can make the look more delicate with a lighter yarn, or bolder with a thicker yarn. Repeat until you get the look you want for your aplique or decoration.
Tidy Up the Edges
When you have all the petals completed fasten off and weave in the ends and gently shape the petals to make the flower sit nicely.
Useful Tips
- Mark the beginning of the round with a stitch marker.
- Keep your tension even as the petals line up.
- If you want to sew the daisy on to another project, leave a longer tail.
- Finish off by hand-shaping the petals for a cleaner look.
Common Mistakes to Watch Out For
- Laxing the center too much
- Uneven tension across petals
- Skipping a Join Point
- Leaving the ends un-neatly sewn on
- With a hook that makes the flower floppy
Ideas for Customization
Try a classic white and yellow daisy, or go playful in pink, peach, blue or lavendar. You can sew one onto a hat, put a few on to a garland, stick one to a clip or use a bunch on a tote bag or cushion.
Style Suggestions
These little daisies are adorable on baby items, accessories, gift toppers and spring decor. They look pretty adorable stitched onto granny squares or dotted around on a cardigan or scarf too.
How to Care for Your
If needed, hand wash gently in cool water. Reshape the petals while still damp, then lay flat to dry. Watch out for heat, especially if using acrylic yarn.
Time Required
This can take a couple of hours depending on your speed, yarn, size and stitch pattern.
The Bottom Line
This crochet daisy pattern is a cute little project when you want something simple, cheerful and useful. It’s simple to make, fun to customize, and ideal for adding a floral touch to so many handmade pieces.
