Crochet Daisy Flower Pattern

Why This Daisy Construction Stays Even

The crochet daisy flower pattern divides every bloom into six identical petals. Each petal has 23 stitches in its first round, 28 in the shaping round and 28 in the firm outer round. A surface slip-stitch line is added only after the petal is flat.

• Six petals per flower. A 24-stitch backing gives four attachment stitches to each petal.
• Three matching centers. Each dome expands from 6 to 18 stitches, then closes back to 6.
• One ridge per petal. Ten dusty-pink surface slip stitches follow the foundation chain.
• Three leaves total. One leaf is attached to each wrapped stem.

Materials for a Crochet Daisy Flower

• Sport weight (2) cotton: about 90 yd (82 m) plum lilac, 18 yd (16 m) dusty pink, 18 yd (16 m) mustard gold and 55 yd (50 m) eucalyptus green.
• 2.5 mm (US C-2) crochet hook.
• Three 0.8 mm floral wires, each about 15 in (38 cm) long.
• Small amount of fiberfill, green floral tape, yarn needle and scissors.

A firm cotton shows the ridge clearly and keeps the spoon-shaped petals from folding. Choose four yarns from the same line so every petal and center has a similar thickness.

Gauge, Finished Size and Skill Level

• Skill level: Easy.
• Gauge: 26 sc and 27 rounds = 4 in (10 cm) in firm fabric.
• One flower: about 4.75 in (12 cm) across.
• Bouquet: about 12 in (30 cm) tall.
• Time: about 4 hours 30 minutes for three complete stems.

The petal is the best gauge check. After Round 3, it should measure about 2.25 in (5.7 cm) from base to tip. All 18 petals need to match within about 0.125 in (3 mm).

Abbreviations and Special Stitches

All instructions use US terms. The magic ring guide shows how to close the center of the gold dome and green backing.

• inc: work 2 sc in the next stitch.
• dec: single crochet the next two stitches together.
• surface sl st: work from the front while the yarn stays behind the petal.

Pattern Notes

• Work the petal rounds on the right side without turning.
• Place a marker in the first stitch of each center and backing round.
• Make 18 petals for a three-flower bouquet.
• The finished bouquet contains wire and is intended for decor.

How to Crochet a Daisy Flower Petal

Round 1 builds both sides of the foundation chain and places five double crochets at the rounded tip. Round 2 doubles those five tip stitches, widening the spoon shape without adding width at the base. The last round works even.

For the ridge, hold the dusty-pink yarn behind the petal. Follow the visible foundation-chain line from base to tip with 10 loose surface slip stitches. Tight loops will cup the petal, so spread the fabric after every two or three stitches.

Joining Six Petals and the Center

Lay six petals around one green backing with their bases touching. The backing has 24 stitches, so pin one petal base across every four stitches. Sew through the backing and the lower half inch of each petal.

Place the stuffed gold center over the inner petal ends. Sew around its widest round, passing through the petals and backing. The center should cover the seams without pulling the petals on top of one another.

How to Crochet Flower Bouquet Stems

Cut three floral wires to 15 in (38 cm). Fold the top 1 in (2.5 cm) of each wire into a narrow loop and tape it closed. Sew one loop to the center of each green backing, keeping the wire flat against the flower.

Wrap downward with floral tape, stretching it slightly so it bonds to itself. Attach one leaf to each stem at a different height, then cover the leaf tail as the wrapping continues. This sequence answers how to crochet flower bouquet stems without leaving bare wire near the bloom.

Use the seaming crochet lesson for help making small, secure stitches through the backing.

Tips for Matching All Three Flowers

• Make the 18 plum petals as one batch before adding any ridges.
• Use the same 10 foundation-chain bars for every surface ridge.
• Weigh the gold yarn before and after one center if you need to divide a small leftover ball evenly.
• Arrange the flowers at three heights before trimming the wires.

This is a good beginner flower crochet project once the first petal is complete. Repeat the same hook placement and tension rather than adjusting later petals by eye.

Color and Bouquet Variations

The six-petal shape reads clearly in one solid petal color. Try rust petals with a cream ridge, or navy petals with a pale-blue ridge. Keep the center lighter or warmer than the petals so the six divisions remain visible.

For a crochet wedding bouquet, make seven flowers and stagger the stems in a loose dome. For a small desk arrangement, one flower and one leaf are enough. The same crochet flower pattern can also be attached to a wreath after the wire is omitted.

Care Instructions

Store the bouquet upright so the petal ridges do not flatten. Remove dust with cool air or a soft brush. If one petal bends, dampen only that petal, reshape it with your fingers and let it dry flat.
