Recommended Yarn and Crochet Hooks
Let's talk about the fun part - choosing your materials! While I'm showing you this daisy square in red and white, feel free to play with colors that make your heart happy. Picture sunny yellow daisies, dreamy purple blooms, or even rainbow petals - the possibilities are endless for creating your own flower garden!
For this pattern, I'm using Loopara milk cotton yarn - it's my absolute favorite for granny squares because it creates such crisp, clean stitches that really make the flower pattern pop! The yarn's silky smooth texture and excellent stitch definition are exactly what you need for these squares. Plus, it's wonderfully soft against the skin and holds up beautifully after washing.
I used a 2.3mm hook to achieve nice, tight stitches that give the square its elegant, lacy appearance. If you're a tight crocheter, you might want to size up to 2.5mm. The beauty of granny squares is that gauge isn't super critical - as long as your squares are consistent with each other, you're good to go!
Why are granny squares so amazing? They're portable (perfect for crocheting on the go!), great for using up yarn leftovers, and you can make them one at a time without committing to a huge project. Best of all, they're like little puzzle pieces - you can mix and match them to create countless different designs. Whether you're making a cozy blanket, stylish bag, or cute cushion cover, these daisy squares will add that perfect touch of handmade charm!

Weave in all ends securely.
Tips: When making the magic ring in Round 1, pull it tight to ensure there's no hole in the center of your daisy. However, don't pull too tight or it might be difficult to work the next round. The double crochet bobbles in Rounds 3 and 4 create the petal texture. Make sure not to pull these too tight so they can stand out nicely. If your square tends to curl, a gentle blocking will help it lay perfectly flat. Just mist with water and pin it out to shape.

Care instructions
Let's chat about keeping these sweet little squares looking their best! After spending time creating your precious daisies, they deserve some TLC to stay fresh and beautiful. Trust me, a little extra care makes all the difference!
First things first - washing. No need for anything fancy here. A gentle hand wash with mild detergent is all your squares need. Think of it as giving them a relaxing spa day! Use lukewarm water (nothing too hot or cold), and treat them gently - no rough handling or wringing, please. These delicate blooms prefer a soft touch.
Here's my favorite drying trick: lay your squares between two clean, white towels and gently press out the water - like making a cozy square sandwich! Then lay them flat to dry, taking a moment to shape them with your fingers. This is actually the perfect time to make sure all your squares are uniform if you're planning to join them together.
Storage might seem simple, but it's crucial for keeping your squares in tip-top shape. I learned this the hard way - plastic bags are a no-no! Instead, tuck them into a cotton bag or cardboard box where they can breathe. If you're storing them for a while, add a little sachet of dried lavender - it keeps them fresh and smelling divine!
And here's a little secret: if you need to freshen up your squares before joining or gifting, a light steam and gentle pat into shape works wonders. They'll look like they just came off your hook!
