- dc: double crochet
- hdc: half double crochet
- sl st: slip stitch
- MR: magic ring
Step-by-Step Detailed Crochet Instructions
This pattern consists of two main parts: the center of the flower and the petals.
1. Middle Part (Circle)
- Start with yellow yarn (or your chosen center color).
- Make a Magic Ring (MR).
- Round 1: Work 14 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring. (Count carefully to make sure you have 14 stitches.)
- Join into the first stitch with a slip stitch (sl st) to form a circle.
- Tighten the magic ring and cut the yarn. Pull through and secure.
2. Petals
- Take your second color (e.g., white) and attach it to any stitch in the circle.
- Petal:
- Chain 7 (ch).
- Skip 1 ch (the closest chain), and starting in the second chain, work:
- 6 hdc (half double crochets) (one in each of the next 6 stitches).
- Once the 6 hdc are complete, return to the circle and make a slip stitch (sl st) into the next stitch.
- Repeat the above step (Petal) for all 14 stitches in the circle:
- Each petal begins with 7 chains, 6 hdc along the chain, and a slip stitch to secure it to the next stitch in the circle.
- At the end of the round, make a final sl st into the starting stitch. Your flower should now have 14 petals.
- Tie off the yarn, leaving a secure knot. Use a needle or your crochet hook to weave in any loose ends.
3. Finishing & Assembly
- Straighten the Petals: Adjust the petals gently by shaping them with your fingers to make them uniform and neat.
- Attach the Earring Hook:
- Open the small loop on the earring hook using a plier.
- Slide one daisy petal into this loop and close the earring hook securely.
- Glue the Stone (Optional):
- Add a small dot of glue to the center of the flower. Press the white stone or gem onto it firmly. Let it dry completely according to the glue instructions.
