Instructions for Making the Sweet Daisies Chrochet Pattern:
The daisy pattern is structured into a few simple rounds, starting with the yellow center and transitioning to the white petals.
Creating the Yellow Center (Rounds 1 & 2)
- Start with Yellow Yarn: Begin by making a chain 2 with your yellow yarn.
- Round 1: In the second chain from the hook, you will single crochet (sc) 6 times. It’s important to note that you should not join the rounds at this stage; instead, continue crocheting in continuous rounds.
- Round 2: For the second round, you will single crochet (sc) 2 times in each stitch around. This will result in a total of 12 stitches for the round. After completing the 12 stitches, slip stitch into the next stitch.
Forming the White Petals (Round 3)
- Attach White Yarn: To begin the petals, you will switch to your white yarn. Insert your hook into the next stitch, pull up the white yarn, and then pull the white yarn through the loop on your hook. Tug gently to tighten the yarn.
- Petal Construction (Repeat Sequence): Now, you will repeat the following sequence to create each petal:
- Chain 3.
- Single crochet (sc) across the chain (this will be 2 stitches total).
- Then, slip stitch into the next yellow stitch.
- Completion: Repeat this sequence (from “*chain 3, sc across chain…, then slip stitch into next yellow stitch*”) around the entire yellow center until you reach the end.
- Finishing: Once all petals are complete, tie off your yarn and use your tapestry needle to weave in all loose ends, creating a clean and finished daisy.
Optional Flower Napkin Ring Pattern
If you wish to transform your crocheted daisy into a charming napkin ring, follow these additional steps:
- Create the Ring Band: Using your white yarn and crochet hook, chain 16. The pattern notes that you can make this chain longer if you desire a larger ring.
- Join and Finish Ring: Once your chain is the desired length, slip stitch to join the chain in the round, forming a complete circle. Then, tie off your yarn.
- Attach Daisy to Ring: Take the two tails from the napkin ring and, using your tapestry needle, attach the ring to the flower. The designer suggests attaching it to the white portion near the center of the daisy for the best aesthetic.
- Weave in Ends: Finally, weave in any remaining ends to complete your daisy napkin ring. The designer expresses a preference for the “dainty look of a simple chain” for the napkin ring, though a thicker one was initially considered.
Versatility and Creative Applications
Beyond napkin rings, these “adorable” and “super cute” daisies offer a plethora of creative possibilities.
They are ideal as:
- Appliques: They can be sewn onto backpacks, jeans, shirts, coats, or even used to edge a knitted jacket.
- Hair Accessories: Easily attached to girls’ hair rubber bands or barrettes.
- Bookmarks: A beautiful and functional use for the daisies.
- Home Decor: Adorn placemats or create little daisy bouquets by adding stems.
Jewelry: Creative users have suggested making them with crochet thread to create bracelets, necklaces, or earrings.
