How to Crochet a Whimsical Daisy Using Only 3 Stitches

This Easy-to-Crochet Daisy whips up in just two rounds of crocheting, and is perfect for adding a bit of whimsy to your project! 

Hey there fellow crocheter! Today we’re back with an on the fast and easy floral design using just a few basic stitches. 

This second mini daisy is part 7 of a 10-part crochet pattern series that is ALL flowers and leaves. It is actually a whimsical second variation of this crochet daisy, so for the sake of simplicity we are just calling it “Mini Daisy 2”. 

The Floral Wreath CAL is the original project that I created to feature all of these flowers, but they can really be used on any sort of project and stand alone as a collection. All 10 designs are quick and simple to create, including this one with double the petals! 

Below, you can find all the details for how to access this pattern. It is free today only, including a detailed video tutorial!

About the Mini Daisy 2

Gauge

The official gauge for this floral series, including today’s project, is 10 rows and 9 stitches for 2x2in using dk yarn and an e/3.5mm hook. It is NOT critical to exactly match that gauge in order to successfully crochet the Mini Daisy 2, but that is the official gauge listed.  

Feel free to experiment with crocheting this flower in different weights of yarn other than dc. To avoid overly floppy flowers, keep your hook size small enough(compared to your yarn) that the stitches stay fairly tight.

Sizing 

Made with the yarn and hook size that have originally been used, this second mini daisy design is about 1.5 inches across. Feel free to play with using other yarn sizes and/or hook sizes to get flowers that are larger or smaller. 

Materials Needed

For each tiny flower that you’d like to crochet, you will need: 

• DK yarn- each one of these flowers uses less than 1 yard for color 1(for the center), and 3 yards for color 2( for the petals)
• An E/3.5mm hook 
• Scissors
• A tapestry needle(this is optional, but good for weaving in ends.

SKill Level

This flower is worked in the round, but uses very basic stitches and would be suitable for a beginner to try. Be sure to watch the video tutorial below for full details! 

Variation Ideas 

Some ideas for creating variations with this pattern might be to use different weights/types of yarn, and to experiment with unusual color combinations!
