Daisies have a cheerfulness to them that is hard to match in the flower world, and crocheted daisies carry that same energy in yarn form.
This pattern was created specifically to build up a supply of flowers for an exciting upcoming project, but the daisies are charming enough to stand entirely on their own as well.
Here is everything needed to make a bouquet of crocheted daisies.

Daisy Crochet Pattern
Flower Center
Using yellow worsted weight yarn and US size I hook:
Round 1: Make a magic loop, work 4 sc into the magic loop, sl st into first sc. (5 stitches total: 4 sc + 1 sl st)
Round 2: Ch 1, sc in first stitch, sc in next 4 stitches, sl st into first stitch. (6 stitches total: 5 sc + 1 sl st)
Tie off yarn and weave in ends. Push the center out slightly from the back to give it a little extra dimension.
Outer Petals
Using white fingering weight yarn and US size D hook:
Sl st in the back loop of any stitch in the flower center. *Ch 10, sl st in back loop of same stitch, ch 10, sl st in back loop of same stitch (two petals made in same stitch), sl st in next sc.* Repeat from * to * 5 more times.
(12 petals total, worked in back loops only. Do not tie off. Continue directly to the inner petal instructions below.)
Inner Petals
The inner petals are worked in the front loops, in front of the completed outer petal round.
Sl st in the front loop of the first stitch in the flower center. *Ch 10, sl st in front loop of same stitch, ch 10, sl st in front loop of same stitch (two petals made in same stitch), sl st in next stitch.* Repeat from * to * 5 more times.
(12 petals total, worked in front loops only.)
Tie off yarn and weave in ends.
A Few Notes
- Working two rounds of petals, one in the back loops and one in the front loops, creates a full, layered flower that has real depth and dimension.
- Using a heavier yarn and larger hook for the center and a finer yarn and smaller hook for the petals keeps the proportions realistic and gives the petals a delicate, natural look.
- These flowers work up quickly once the rhythm of the pattern clicks, making it easy to build up a collection in a single sitting.
