This easy crochet daisy flower has a cheerful golden-yellow center surrounded by six soft, rounded white petals. The petals are thick and slightly raised, giving the flower a plush 3D look rather than a flat applique style.

It is a quick crochet motif that works beautifully for bouquets, hair accessories, bags, hats, garlands, wreaths, nursery decor, and handmade gifts. You can make one flower in just a few minutes once you are familiar with the puff-style petal construction.

Pattern Notes

US crochet terminology is used.

The daisy is worked from the center outward.

The flower has exactly:

• 12 center stitches
• 6 petals

Each petal uses two center stitches.

The petals are made thick by working several tall stitches together into the same section.

Keep your stitches relaxed enough that the petals stay soft and rounded.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Yellow Center

Using golden-yellow yarn.

Make a magic ring.

Ch 1.

Work 12 sc into the magic ring.

Pull the ring closed.

Join with sl st to the first sc.

Fasten off yellow yarn.

You should have:

12 sts

Join White Yarn

Join white yarn into any stitch.

Ch 2.

The ch 2 does not count as a stitch.

You will now work one petal across every two yellow stitches.

Petal 1

Into the same stitch where you joined the white yarn, work:

• 2 dc
• 2 tr

Into the next yellow stitch work:

• 2 tr
• 2 dc

Ch 2.

Sl st into the same second yellow stitch.

This completes one thick rounded petal.

Petal 2

Sl st into the next yellow stitch.

Ch 2.

Into that stitch work:

• 2 dc
• 2 tr

Into the following yellow stitch work:

• 2 tr
• 2 dc

Ch 2.

Sl st into the same stitch.

Continue Around

Repeat the same petal construction around the yellow center.

Each petal uses two yellow stitches.

After six repeats you should have:

6 white petals

Join with sl st if needed.

Fasten off.

Shape the Petals

Gently pull each petal outward.

Use your fingers to round the sides and tips.

The petals should look soft and full rather than sharply pointed.

If a petal twists, gently rotate it so the raised side faces forward.

Optional Extra-Plump Petals

For an even puffier flower, replace each group of 2 tr with 3 tr.

The petal sequence becomes:

Into first stitch:

• 2 dc
• 3 tr

Into second stitch:

• 3 tr
• 2 dc

Then ch 2 and sl st.

This creates a fuller bouquet-style flower.

Optional Green Stem for a Crochet Bouquet

If you want to turn the daisy into a flower stem, use green yarn.

Crochet Stem

Ch 45–55.

Sl st back through every chain.

Fasten off.

This creates a narrow green cord.

Attach one end firmly to the back center of the flower.

For a firmer bouquet stem, wrap the crochet cord around floral wire.

Optional Leaf

Using green yarn.

Ch 9.

Sl st in second ch from hook.

Sc in next ch.

Hdc in next 2 ch.

Dc in next 2 ch.

Hdc in next ch.

Sc in final ch.

Working down the opposite side:

Sc in next ch.

Hdc in next ch.

Dc in next 2 ch.

Hdc in next 2 ch.

Sc in next ch.

Sl st at the tip.

Fasten off.

Attach the leaf to the green stem.

Bouquet Assembly

For a full daisy bouquet, make approximately:

• 15–25 flowers
• 15–25 green stems
• 8–12 leaves

Arrange the flowers in a rounded bouquet.

Place leaves between the flower heads.

Keep some flowers slightly higher and some lower so the arrangement looks natural.

Tie or wrap the stems together near the bottom.

Design Consistency Lock

Keep the featured daisy exactly like this:

• golden-yellow center
• 6 white petals
• thick rounded petal shape
• slightly raised 3D texture
• no colored petal edging
• no extra flower rounds
• no button center
• no beads
• no embroidery on the petals

For the closest match to the reference image, do not make the petals thin or flat.

Tips & Variations

Cotton yarn gives the flower crisp structure, while acrylic yarn creates a softer fluffy appearance.

If the center looks too large, use a slightly smaller hook for the yellow round.

Keep the petals evenly spaced by checking that each one uses exactly two center stitches.

For a miniature flower, use crochet thread and a smaller hook.

For a larger flower, use aran or bulky yarn with a corresponding hook.

These flowers work especially well for:

• crochet bouquets
• bag decorations
• hair clips
• headbands
• hats
• wreaths
• garlands
• nursery decor
