Preparing Your Yarn

Crochet Daisy Stitch Pattern
First Row Foundation:
- Count 5 from your hook and in the sixth, make a double crochet. This marks the corner of the beginning.
- Chain 3, yarn over, and insert the hook in the same space, pulling yarn through and keeping loops on the hook.
- Repeat the process in the same space, aiming for three loops on the hook, then skip two chains and in the third, insert the hook and repeat until you have three petals.
Closing the Petals:
- After making the loops for the petals, pull through all the loops and chain one to close. This completes three petals of the first part of the daisy.
Second Row Foundation:
- Chain two, skip two, and make a double crochet in the third chain to create a mesh-like foundation before you repeat the petal pattern for the next flower.
Repeating the Pattern:
- Follow the same steps to create additional flowers, ensuring you have four petals on each flower. Make sure to chain three between the petals and to work a double crochet in between the flower sets for the mesh foundation.
Completing the Flower
Final Petals:
- Start the next row to complete the flower by chaining five and working a double crochet over the previous double crochet.
- Make the last petal of the flower with two chains, insert the hook in the center, and turn over three times. Pull through, make one chain, and then continue with double crochets over double crochets.
Ending Your Project
Finishing Rows:
- Repeat the flower and square pattern as needed for your project. Each flower segment consists of two rows to complete the six petals. For the end of the project, maintain the double crochet over double crochet pattern for a neat edge.
Additional Tips
- It’s advised to make a sample square first to calculate the needed stitches and chains for your specific project.
- Choose a slightly fluffy yarn to make the stitch pop and look even more beautiful.
- The stitch pattern is reversible, offering a beautiful design on both sides, suitable for blankets, shawls, ponchos, etc.
- Do not iron the completed project to maintain its textured appearance.
Closing
Remember to follow this pattern as outlined for the best result in creating a beautiful daisy stitch. Adjust the number of chain multiples based on the size of your project. Happy crocheting!
