Below is a step-by-step tutorial for the crochet daisy flower with leaves, exactly like the picture 🌼
(I explain every stitch slowly, good for beginners)
MATERIALS (EXACT)
- Yarn:
- Yellow (flower center)
- White (petals)
- Green (leaves)
- Crochet hook: 3.0 mm (2.5–3.5 mm also works)
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
CROCHET TERMS (US TERMS)
- ch – chain
- sl st – slip stitch
- sc – single crochet
- hdc – half double crochet
- dc – double crochet
- tr – treble crochet (yarn over 2 times)
- st – stitch
STEP 1: FLOWER CENTER (YELLOW)
- Wrap yarn around your fingers to make a magic ring.
- Insert hook into the ring.
- Ch 3 (counts as the first dc).
- Work 11 more dc into the ring.
- You should have 12 dc total.
- Pull the yarn tail tightly to close the ring.
- Sl st into the top of the first dc.
- Cut yellow yarn and pull through.
✔ You now have a round yellow center.
STEP 2: PETALS (WHITE)
Join White Yarn
- Insert hook into any stitch from the yellow center.
- Pull up white yarn and sl st to join.
Make ONE Petal (Repeat in Every Stitch)
In the same stitch, work:
- Ch 2
- 3 tr (yarn over twice, insert hook, pull up loop, pull through 2 loops × 3 times)
- Ch 2
- Sl st in the same stitch
👉 This completes 1 raised petal.
Continue Petals
- Repeat the same petal steps in each stitch around.
- You will make 12 petals total.
- After last petal, sl st to secure.
- Cut white yarn and pull through.
✔ The flower should look puffy and full, like real daisy petals.
STEP 3: LEAVES (GREEN)
Join Green Yarn
- Turn the flower to the back side.
- Join green yarn in a space near the petals with a sl st.
Make Leaf #1
- Ch 9
- In the 2nd chain from hook, work:
- sc
- In next chains:
- hdc
- dc
- tr
- dc
- hdc
- sc
- Sl st into the flower base.
✔ Leaf shape is now formed.
Make Leaf #2
- Ch 9 again
- Repeat the same stitch sequence:
- sc, hdc, dc, tr, dc, hdc, sc
- Sl st into flower base.
Finish
- Cut green yarn.
- Pull yarn through.
- Use yarn needle to weave in all loose ends.
FINAL RESULT 🌼
- 12 soft white petals
- Round yellow center
- 2 green leaves
OPTIONAL TIPS
- Want bigger petals? Use 4 tr instead of 3.
- Want smaller flower? Use thinner yarn + smaller hook.
- Want more leaves? Add more chains.
