Step-by-Step Crochet Instructions:
Making the Daisy:
- Create the Daisy Center:
- Start with a magic ring (MR).
- Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring.
- Change yarn color to the shade for petals during the last stitch of this round (carry out the color change as seen in the video).
- Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first stitch of the round.
- Crochet the Daisy Petals:
- Petal Sequence:
- Chain 2 (ch 2).
- Work 2 double crochets (dc) into the same stitch.
- Chain 2 (ch 2) again.
- Skip to the next stitch and make a slip stitch (sl st) to secure the petal.
- Repeat this sequence 6 times to form all daisy petals (one petal per stitch).
- Petal Sequence:
- Finish the Flower:
- Once all 6 petals are complete, join with a slip stitch into the same stitch where the round began.
- Cut the yarn and hide the yarn tails using a tapestry needle.
Optional: Adding Ties (Thin or Wide):
- For Thin Ties:
- Use fine yarn and a 1 mm crochet hook.
- For Wide Ties:
- Use thicker yarn and a 2 mm hook.
- Working the Tie:
- Chain 66 (this will determine tie length – adjust as needed).
- In the second chain from the hook, start creating stitches down the chain following this sequence:
- sl st (slip stitch) into the next chain.
- sc (single crochet).
- hdc (half double crochet).
- dc (double crochet) into the next two chains.
- tr (treble crochet) into the next two chains.
- dc (double crochet) into the next chain.
