Crochet Daisy Flower

We have another flower to add to our crochet bouquet! This Daisy flower is simple and sweet and can be made with more or less petals. I settled on 8 petals for the final flower which I think is the perfect size and spacing for the delicate daisy. It pairs so nicely with our crochet sunflower!

Materials:
– Red Heart Super Saver yarn in white, saffron yellow, and spring green.
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tapestry Needle
– Pipe Cleaner

NOTE: if you want a bigger daisy with more petals, start with a center flower of 12 SC instead of 8.

Center Flower (make 2):
with saffron yellow yarn
Magic Ring, chain 1 and make 8 SC in ring, join to first SC
Fasten off and weave in ends.

Place both of the circles together and attach white yarn working through the SC stitches of both circles.

Chain 6, DC in 3rd chain from hook, DC in next, HDC in next, SC in last, join with a slip stitch to the next SC stitches in flower circle. Repeat to make 8 petals.

Stem:
with spring green yarn
Chain 36 (or less for a shorter stem than your sunflower), SC in second chain from hook and in the next 32 chains (you should have 3 chains remaining), HDC in remaining 3 chains, chain 1, turn
Row 2: HDC in first 3 stithes, SC in remaining, chain 1, turn
Row 3: SC in first 32 stitches, HDC in remaining 3, fasten off leaving long tail
Tip: leave both loose ends attached.

Bend one end of your pipe cleaner and twist so it’s not pokey on the bottom. This will go on the bottom of your step. Leave the top of pipe cleaner sticking out over the top (where the HDC stitches are).

With your tapestry needle, stitch stem piece around your pipe cleaner. Make sure you stitch around the bottom so your pipe cleaner isn’t poking through.

Now with the end that is hanging over the top, loop it through a stitch on the back middle of the daisy flower. Twist to secure it.

Now stitch the top of the stem to the back middle of daisy with your other loose end!

Add a leaf!

Leaf:
with spring green yarn
Chain 6, SC in 2nd chain from hook, HDC in next, DC in next two, make 6 DC in last chain.
Now working on the other side of the chain, DC in next two, HDC in next, SC in last (do not join yet), chain 2 and make a SC in second chain from hook, join to first SC.
Stitch onto stem.

Next up will be the tulip!
