Recommended Yarn and Crochet Hooks
Loopara milk cotton yarn is the perfect choice for bringing these cheerful daisies to life! Its excellent stitch definition showcases each petal beautifully, while the yarn's natural sheen adds a subtle glow to your flowers. The cotton blend provides just the right structure to help your dimensional petals stand out while maintaining their delicate appearance.
For the classic daisy look, choose pure white for the petals, sunny yellow for the center, and either crisp white or soft blue for the background. Want something more playful? Try pink petals with yellow centers and navy surrounds, or create a rainbow garden with different colored petals. The yarn's consistent texture ensures each color transitions smoothly while maintaining its vibrancy.
A 2.3mm hook pairs perfectly with this yarn, creating tight, neat stitches that define each petal clearly. This hook size helps maintain square shape while allowing enough drape for a beautiful finish. The yarn's practical benefits - color-fastness and durability - make it perfect for projects that will be displayed and loved for years to come.

Care instructions
Show your daisy squares the same gentle care you'd give to fresh flowers. Hand wash in lukewarm water (30°C/86°F) using a mild wool detergent, allowing the squares to gently float in the water. Never wring or twist, as this could distort your delicate bobble-stitch petals. Instead, gently squeeze out excess water and reshape while damp, paying special attention to the dimensional flower centers.
When storing your daisy squares, think of them as pressed flowers in a botanical collection. Keep them flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. If stacking multiple squares, place acid-free tissue paper between them to protect the raised bobble stitches. A breathable cotton bag makes an ideal home for your squares, keeping dust away while allowing air circulation to prevent any musty odors.
To preserve your daisies' fresh appearance over time, block them gently after each wash. Pin out the corners evenly and allow the bobble stitches to stand naturally, creating that lovely dimensional effect. Add a splash of white vinegar to the final rinse to keep yellows sunny and whites bright. For long-term storage, refold occasionally to prevent permanent creases, treating each daisy square as a cherished garden memory.
