Steps
Make a slipknot and place it on your hook. Chain 4, then join the last chain to the first with a slip stitch to form a small ring.
Start round 1 in the ring. Work your first cluster of stitches to begin the flower center, following the double crochet and chain pattern shown.
Finish round 1 and join with a slip stitch. This completes the yellow center of the daisy.
Begin round 2 with your petal color. Work the petal clusters around the center using double crochet and treble crochet stitches, then close the round with a slip stitch.
Start round 3 with your background color. Work the corner spaces and side stitches to square off the flower, using double crochet and chains.
Complete round 3 and join with a slip stitch. Check that all four corners sit evenly.
Fasten off and weave the yarn tail into the back of the square with a tapestry needle.
Tips and common mistakes
Count your stitches at the end of each round so the square stays even and the corners line up.
Keep your tension loose on the chain spaces, or the square will pull in at the corners.
US double crochet is called treble crochet in UK terms, so check which terms your pattern uses before you start.
