Crochet flowers always look so tricky, don't they, but this particular daisy is as simple as a summer's day. You have all the written instructions below plus there's a video tutorial for maximum crochet confidence. Grab your hooks and dive in!
You will need:
- Dk yarn in Green, White and Yellow
- 3.5mm hook
- or any yarn of your choice with the appropriate hook
Special Stitches:
• Htr (Half Treble) = yarn over, insert hook into indicated stitch and draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through all three loops on the hook
• Third Bump of htr = this “bump” can be found behind the work, just below the top two loops of the htr stitch. Tilt your work forward to find it
BEGIN
N.B You can watch Video Tutorials for this flower and other patterns on my YouTube channel at Nancy Said https://youtu.be/eag8EQKR9UU (Please Note the order of Rounds 2 & 3 are reversed in the video for demonstration purposes)
Using Green make a Magic Ring (or chain 4 and join with a ss to form a ring)
Round 1: Ch2 (does NOT count as st), 12htr into the ring (see Special Stitches), join with a ss to first htr. Fasten off Green [12htr made]
Round 2: Join Yellow to top of any htr, ch9, ss to same st, *(ss, ch9, ss) all into next st; rep from * around, join with ss to base of first loop. Fasten off Yellow [12 loops made]
Round 3 (worked as a longer layer behind Round 2): Join White to Third Bump (see Special Stitches) of any htr of Round 1, ch13, ss to same st, *(ss, ch13, ss) all into next Bump; rep from * around, join with ss to base of first loop [12 loops]
Fasten off White with a long tail for sewing on to your project.
Sew in all other ends.

I hope you enjoy making some daisies of your own. Also, try them in other colours for a seasonal wreath or garland to suit the time of year. Oranges and browns for Halloween, and red, green and white for Christmas.
Happy Crocheting!
