Crochet Simple Daisy Stitch Tutorial Step By Step

The Simple Daisy Stitch is a whimsical and textured crochet pattern that evokes the charm of a field of daisies. It is a beloved choice among crochet enthusiasts for its delightful and visually appealing motif that resembles a garden of flowers. Characterized by its puff-like clusters that form the 'petals' of the daisy and the 'eye' that creates the center, this stitch allows for a vibrant interplay of colors which can be customized to match any palette.

Crochet Simple Daisy Stitch Tutorial Step By Step

Suitable for a broad array of projects, the daisy stitch adds a playful and nostalgic touch to blankets, scarves, bags, and keychains, inviting a touch of springtime no matter the season.

Materials Needed

• 24/7 Cotton (a mercerized cotton recommended for its durability and stitch definition)

Starting the Project

1. Create a Slip Knot and Chain 55
   • Begin with making a slip knot.
   • Chain 55 to start the foundation row.
2. Single Crochet in the Back Bumps
   • Turn your chain to the side.
   • Start single crocheting into the back bump of the second chain from the hook.
   • Continue to single crochet a total of 54 stitches along the back bumps of the chain.

Creating the Daisy Stitch

3. Chain 3 and Turn Your Work
   • This will start the row for making the daisy stitch.
4. Single Crochet 5 Together (to form the first Daisy Stitch) and Chain 1
   • Insert your hook into the first stitch, pull up a loop and do the same for the next four stitches.
   • You will have 6 loops on your hook.
   • Yarn over and pull through all 6 loops.
   • Chain one to secure the stitch.
5. Anatomy of the Daisy Stitch
   • Identify the "eye" of the stitch and the space between the last two legs of the stitch you just worked into.
6. Daisy Stitch Repeat
   • Insert your hook into the eye, then pull up a loop.
   • Insert the hook between the last two legs of the stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop.
   • Insert your hook into the last worked stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop.
   • Insert your hook into the next two stitches, pulling up a loop each time.
   • Yarn over and pull through all six loops, then chain one.

Continuing the Pattern

7. Single Crochet to the End of the Row
   • End with a half double crochet in the same stitch you end on.
8. Start the Next Row
   • Chain 1 and turn your work.
   • Single crochet into the top of the half double crochet from the previous row.
   • Single crochet into the eye of the daisy stitch, skip a stitch, then place two single crochets into the next eye.
   • Repeat this pattern across, for a total of 25 times.
9. Single Crochet Across
   • Chain one, turn your work, and single crochet all the way across the row.

Finishing the Edge

10. Work the Side Edges
    • Rotate your work and place four single crochets along the side.
    • Rotate your work again, chain 1, and place slip stitches across the top edge. Make sure not to slip stitch too tightly to prevent the work from curving.
    • Once you reach the end, rotate your work once more and place five single crochets along that edge.

Completing the Keychain

11. Prepare for Finishing
    • Leave a long tail for weaving in.
    • Insert the keychain ring and fold the crochet piece over with the wrong sides facing each other, ensuring the daisy stitch pattern is on the outside.
12. Stitch the Ends Together
    • Using a darning needle, stitch across the two ends to bind them.
    • Move the ring up to the seam and sew back and forth below the ring to secure it in place.
13. Weave in Ends
    • Once secure, weave in the ends and trim the tails.
