🌼 Detailed Crochet Daisy Tutorial

🧶 Materials

• Cotton or acrylic yarn:
  • Yellow → flower center
  • White → petals
• Hook: 2.0–3.0 mm (small hook makes neat petals)
• Needle
• Scissors
• Pearl bead (optional)

---

PART 1 — Making the Center (Yellow)

Step 1: Make a Magic Ring (MR)

1. Wrap yarn around two fingers to form a loop.
2. Insert hook under the first strand.
3. Yarn over and pull up a loop.
4. Chain 1 to lock the ring.

👉 Hold the ring with your fingers so stitches don’t move.

---

Step 2: Single Crochet into Ring

Inside the ring make:

10 single crochet (sc)

How to make 1 sc:

1. Insert hook into ring.
2. Yarn over → pull up loop (2 loops on hook).
3. Yarn over → pull through both loops.

Repeat until you have 10 stitches.

---

Step 3: Close the Ring

1. Pull the tail yarn slowly.
2. The hole closes completely.
3. Insert hook into first stitch.
4. Make slip stitch (sl st) to join.

How to sl st:

• Insert hook → yarn over → pull through stitch AND loop on hook.

✅ You now have a small yellow circle.

---

PART 2 — Starting the Petals

Step 4: Join White Yarn

1. Insert hook into any stitch.
2. Pull white yarn through.
3. Chain 2 (this lifts your work).

Do NOT cut yellow tail yet — you can crochet over it to hide it.

---

PART 3 — Making Each Petal (VERY IMPORTANT)

Each petal is worked in ONE stitch, then you move to the next stitch.

Petal Pattern:

(hdc, 2 dc, hdc) in same stitch → sl st in next stitch

Let’s break this slowly.

---

Step 5: Half Double Crochet (hdc)

1. Yarn over FIRST.
2. Insert hook into stitch.
3. Yarn over → pull up loop (3 loops).
4. Yarn over → pull through ALL loops.

---

Step 6: Double Crochet (dc)

1. Yarn over.
2. Insert hook into SAME stitch.
3. Yarn over → pull up loop (3 loops).
4. Yarn over → pull through 2 loops.
5. Yarn over → pull through last 2 loops.

Make 2 dc in that same stitch.

---

Step 7: Another hdc

Still in same stitch:

• Make 1 more hdc.

👉 Now the petal becomes round and puffy.

---

Step 8: Anchor the Petal

Insert hook into NEXT stitch and make:

• Slip stitch

This pulls the petal down and shapes it.

✅ One petal finished.

---

Step 9: Repeat Around

Repeat Steps 5–8 in every stitch around.

You will get:

• About 10 petals
• Small rounded daisy shape

---

PART 4 — Finishing

Step 10: Close

After last petal:

• Slip stitch into first petal base.

Cut yarn leaving 10–12 cm tail.

Pull tail through loop tightly.

---

Step 11: Hide Yarn Ends

Using needle:

• Weave yarn through back stitches.
• Go in different directions so it doesn’t come loose.
• Trim excess yarn.

---

PART 5 — Adding Pearl Center

1. Thread needle.
2. Pass through flower center.
3. Add pearl bead.
4. Sew through center 3–4 times.
5. Knot securely at back.

⭐ Important Beginner Tips

✅ Keep tension even — not too loose.
✅ Hold petals with thumb while making slip stitch.
✅ If flower curls → use bigger hook.
✅ If petals look flat → tighten stitches slightly.
