Daisy Meanings & Usage
Daisies have always held a special place in my heart, not just for their simple beauty, but for their rich symbolism. These cheerful flowers represent innocence, purity, and new beginnings - perfect for brightening anyone's day! In bouquets, daisies add a touch of whimsy and light-heartedness.
Interestingly, daisies have quite a history. In Norse mythology, they were sacred to Freya, the goddess of love and beauty. The name daisy itself comes from day's eye, as the flower opens at dawn and closes at dusk. How poetic, right?
From my experience, daisies make wonderful gifts for all sorts of occasions. They're great for congratulating new parents, cheering up a sick friend, or even as a sweet gesture for a first date. I remember giving a small pot of daisies to my neighbor when she moved in, and it sparked a friendship that's lasted years. There's just something about these sunny little flowers that seems to bring people together and spread joy wherever they bloom.
Details of Daisy Crochet Pattern
This delightful crochet daisy pattern is perfect for beginners and intermediate crafters alike. The simple yet charming design captures the essence of these cheerful flowers, making it a fun project for anyone looking to brighten up their home or wardrobe.
The pattern guides you through creating five lovely daisies, each with 12 delicate petals and a sunny center. You'll also crochet two leaves to add a touch of greenery to your bouquet. The process is straightforward: start with the flower centers, move on to the bases, then add the petals, and finally craft the leaves.
In nature, daisies come in various colors, though they're most commonly white with yellow centers. Did you know that what we think of as one daisy flower is actually a composite of many tiny flowers? The yellow center is made up of disk florets, while the white petals are actually ray florets!
The beauty of this pattern is its flexibility. Feel free to customize your daisies by experimenting with different color combinations. You could try pink petals with a white center for a fun twist, or go bold with vibrant rainbow hues. Adjust the number of flowers and leaves to create anything from a single stem to a lush bouquet.
A single finished daisy measures 1-2 inches in diameter, making it perfect for accessories or small decorations. A full bouquet of five daisies with leaves stands approximately 12 inches tall, ideal for brightening up any corner of your home.

Crochet Daisy Pattern
How to Crochet a Flower Center (Make 5)
Create a magic ring.
Round 1: Chain 1, make 6 single crochet into the ring, slip stitch to join, chain 1.
Round 2: Make 6 single crochet increases (12 single crochet total), slip stitch to join, chain 1.
Round 3: Make 12 single crochet, slip stitch to join.
Tips: Ensure your magic ring is tight to create a solid center for your flower. Use stitch markers to keep track of your rounds, especially in Round 2 where you're increasing. This will help maintain the circular shape of your daisy center.
How to Crochet a Flower Base (Make 5)
Create a magic ring.
Round 1: Chain 1, make 6 single crochet into the ring, slip stitch to join, chain 1.
Round 2: Make 6 single crochet increases (12 single crochet total), slip stitch to join, chain 1.
Round 3: Make 12 single crochet, slip stitch to join.
Tips: Ensure your magic ring is tight to create a solid foundation for your flower base. Use stitch markers to keep track of your rounds, especially in Round 2 where you're increasing. This will help maintain the circular shape and provide a sturdy base for attaching petals later.
How to Crochet a Daisy Petal (Make 12)
Create the petals on top of the flower base.
Round 1: (Chain 3, make 1 double crochet in the same stitch, chain 3, slip stitch into the next stitch) repeat this sequence 12 times around the base.
Tips: Ensure your tension remains consistent for even petal sizes. The chain 3 at the beginning of each petal creates a pointed tip, while the double crochet adds body. Slip stitching into the next stitch secures each petal and positions you for the next one. Count your petals as you go to make sure you end up with exactly 12 evenly spaced around the flower base.
How to Crochet a Daisy Leaf (Make 2)
Round 1: Chain 13, make 11 single crochet in second chain from hook, 3 single crochet in next stitch, 10 single crochet, 2 single crochet in last stitch, slip stitch to join.
Round 2: [Single crochet 2 together, (chain 2, slip stitch)] repeat this sequence 9 times, slip stitch to join.
Tips: The increase in the middle of Round 1 creates the leaf's point, while the increases at the beginning and end shape the base. In Round 2, the sc2tog decreases create the serrated edge of the leaf. Maintain even tension throughout to ensure a symmetrical leaf shape. Use a stitch marker at the beginning of each round to keep track of your progress.
Crochet Daisy Assembly
Step 1. Prepare the stem:
1. Form a small loop at one end of a 0.6 mm wire.
2. Insert the wire through the center of the flower base from the back.
3. Secure with a small amount of glue.
Step 2. Attach flower to stem:
1. Begin wrapping the stem wire with thread from the base of the flower.
2. Slide the crocheted flower onto the stem, positioning it at the desired height.
3. Secure in place with a small amount of glue.
Step 3. Add leaves:
1. Continue wrapping the stem with thread.
2. Pause at suitable positions to attach the crocheted leaves.
3. Secure each leaf with thread and a dab of glue.
Step 4. Finish stem wrapping:
1. Wrap the stem to the end, covering all exposed wire.
2. Secure the thread with a small amount of glue at the bottom of the stem.
Tips: Ensure the glue is completely dry before handling the finished daisy. Adjust the positioning of petals and leaves as needed before the glue sets for a natural look.
