I don’t know how it’s been where you’re at, but it has been a cold winter round these parts. I always get so excited when I spot my first Spring flower. It promises warmer days ahead. I wanted to share the joy of those first Spring flowers by showing you how to make a cute crocheted daisy.
And when you’re done, finish it off with the small leaf crochet pattern.
About The Free Daisy Crochet Pattern
While this is a beginner crochet tutorial, it shouldn’t be your first project. It’s a great crochet tutorial for those who want quick finish projects that won’t tire your wrist out too much.
To make a crochet daisy, the tutorial uses yellow yarn for the center and white for the outside. Use black in the center and yellow for the petals if you want a Black Eyed Susan. And switch out the colors however you’d like to crochet any flower that has a smaller center with long petals.
These crocheted daisies have a number of uses. You could attach a crocodile clip to turn it into a hair accessory or glue it to a headband. You could wow guests with your crochet skills when you offer it to them to use as a coaster . You could use it as an applique and attach it to other crafts you’re working on.
Below, you’ll see stepped-out instructions with images. Right after it, there is a free printable “recipe card” that so that you can print this free daisy crochet pattern. This is a printer-friendly version that prints without step-by-step images and is only recommended if you already have some experience and will get the gist of it from text only.
This free pattern also uses pretty basic stitches. I don’t actually teach the stitches in each post as that would be excessive. So while this is beginner-friendly, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with the following terms and stitches first:
- Chain
- Slip stitch
- Single Crochet (SC)
- Half Double Crochet (HDC)
- Double Crochet (DC)
