Crochet a Mini Daisy

Crocheting a mini daisy can be such a delightful and rewarding experience! To start, gather your favorite yarn in vibrant colors and a crochet hook that fits the yarn weight. Begin by crafting the center of the daisy with a magic ring and a few simple stitches, then work your way outwards to create the charming petals. With each delicate stitch, you'll see your mini daisy come to life, bringing a touch of cheer and creativity to your day. Don't forget to add a touch of green for the stem and leaves to complete the look. Whether you're a seasoned crocheter or just starting out, this project is sure to bring a smile to your face and brighten up any space with its handmade charm.

Gauge

The official gauge for this project is 10 rows and 9 stitches for 2x2in using dk yarn and an e/3.5mm hook. However, I would like to stress that it is NOT critical to exactly match that gauge in order to have success making this flower(or any of the flowers in this series, to be honest).

Sizing

Made with the yarn and hook size that have originally been used, this mini daisy is only about two inches in diameter. Feel free to play with using other yarn sizes and/or hook sizes to get flowers that are larger or smaller.

Materials Needed

For each mini daisy, you will need:

• DK yarn- each daisy uses 1 yard of yarn of one color(for the center) and just over 2 yards of a second color(for the petals). For my flowers, I am using the Paintbox Cotton DK Yarn Line, which has dozens of gorgeous colors.
• An E/3.5mm hook
• Scissors
• A tapestry needle(optional, but good for weaving in ends.

SKill Level

This flower includes a few basic stitches and requires the ability to work in the round. Advanced beginners and beyond should have no trouble with it, but you can get a better idea by looking at the stitches used in the abbreviations list!

Abbreviations used

• CH – chain (yarn over, pull loop through)
• REP-repeat
• SC – single crochet(insert hook, yarn over, draw up a loop, yarn over, and draw through two loops)
• SS-slip stitch(insert hook, yarn over, draw up a loop through the work and through the loop on your hook)

Directions

In color 1

Setup: ch3 or 4 sts and ss in your first chain to make a very small loop. OR, alternatively, create a magic circle.

Switch to color 2

Round 2: ss into the first sc from round 1. *ch4, skip a ch and sc3. Then, ss into the next sc from round 1.* Rep for every stitch, for a total of 8 petals. To finish the round, ss into the back of the first petal.
