Steps
Gather your yarn in white, pink and green, a 3.0 mm hook, floral wire, a tapestry needle and scissors. Sort out your scrap balls so each colour is easy to reach.
Make a magic ring with the white yarn and work 6 single crochet into it. Pull the tail tight to close the center, then join with a slip stitch.
Switch to pink yarn. Chain 3, work 2 double crochet into the same stitch, chain 3 again, then slip stitch into the next stitch to close one petal.
Repeat that petal pattern around the white center until you have 5 or 6 petals. Fasten off and weave the loose ends into the back with the tapestry needle.
Crochet a small leaf in green. Chain 5, then work a slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet and single crochet back down the chain.
Cut a piece of floral wire about 25 cm long and bend a small loop at the top. Sew the loop to the back of the flower with the tapestry needle.
Wrap green yarn tightly around the wire to cover it, tucking in the leaf partway down. Secure the last wrap with a small knot or a dab of craft glue.
Make as many daisies as you need. Stand them in a vase for a bouquet, or sew a clip or pin to the back of a single flower to wear it or attach it to a bag.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep your stitches loose so the petals lie flat instead of curling up.
Use the same hook size for every flower so the daisies match when you group them.
Weave in the ends before you attach the wire, since the back gets hidden once the stem is on.
Cotton yarn holds a crisper petal shape, while acrylic is softer and cheaper for practice.
Questions
How much yarn does one daisy use?
Very little. A few metres of each colour is enough, which makes this a good project for small leftover balls.
Can I make the flower without floral wire?
Yes. Skip the stem and sew a clip, pin or hair tie to the back instead, or stitch the daisy straight onto a bag or cushion.
What if I do not know the magic ring?
You can chain 4 and join into a ring, then work your 6 single crochet into that ring. The center may show a small hole but it still works.
