Crochet Daisy Pin Cushion
Materials Required:
- 3mm crochet hook
- DK weight yarn, lightweight number 3
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
Instructions:
Start with a Magic Circle:
- Hold yarn and wrap the hook to create a magic circle.
- Chain 2 (this does NOT count as anything).
- Place 11 double crochets into the magic circle.
- Pull the tail to tighten the magic circle.
- Slip stitch to the top of the first double crochet (ignoring chain 2).
First Round Expansion:
- Chain 2 and go back into the same space you slip stitched into.
- Do 2 double crochets in each stitch around.
- You should have a total of 22 double crochets at the end of this round.
- Slip stitch into the top of the first double crochet, ignoring the chain 2.
Second Round Expansion:
- Chain 2 and make one double crochet into the same space as slip stitch.
- Place two double crochets into the next space, then one double crochet in the following space, and continue this pattern around.
- You should finish with 33 stitches.
- Slip stitch to the first double crochet to join the round.
- Chain 1 and cut yarn.
Making the Pin Cushion Body:
- Make two of these circles for the top and bottom of the pin cushion.
- With wrong sides together, line up the stitches of both pieces.
- Work in the back loops only of the top circle and the front loops only of the bottom circle, slip stitch around to join both pieces.
- When you have a few stitches left, stuff the cushion with scrap yarn or stuffing.
- Finish joining with slip stitches and cut yarn, leaving a long tail.
Edging:
- Use a contrast color for the edging if desired.
- Working into the space running along the side of the slip stitches, attach the yarn and chain one.
- Make a single crochet and then chain one, moving around the edge.
- Slip stitch to the first single crochet of this round.
- Weave in the end.
Attaching the Flower:
- The video does not provide the tutorial for the flower as it's available in another tutorial but suggests leaving a long tail on the flower for sewing it onto the cushion.
- Use the yarn tail to attach the flower to the center of the top circle of the pin cushion.
- Weave in the ends.
