Crochet Daisy Square Tutorial

 There is something about crocheting flowers into squares to create blankets and cushion covers etc.. maybe it's because you can completely change the look by simply changing the colours of the flowers.

I am often asked if I can give a pattern for a daisy, and I must admit it is one of my favourite flowers - they are just so cute and unassuming!

So this video tutorial is for a Daisy Square, the petals are slightly puffed to give a texture to the square.... and I have gone for the traditional white petals with yellow centre on a denim-blue background, but you can do whatever you wish!  

I used a Clover Amour 4.50mm hook and DK yarn.

You can find the step-by-step video tutorial below...

Or if you prefer a written pattern then here it is...

Row 1. Pink  - Ch4 and SS to join into the first ch to make a ring.

Row 2. Ch3, work 11 x TR's into the ring. SS to join.  (12 stitches)

Row 3. White  - Join yarn inbetween any stitches, make a puff stitch in the same place.  (Make a puff stitch in the next space) 11 times, ss to join(12 puffs)

Row 3. Grey  - Join yarn inbetween any puff stitches and Ch3, work (TRx2, CHx2, TRx3)  in the same space. *** Work HTRx3 into the next two spaces then work (TRx3, CHx2, TRx3) into the next space. Repeat from *** another twice then work HTRx3 into the next two spaces. SS to join to the 3rd ch of the starting ch4.

Row 4. SS into the next two stitches and ss into the corner space, Ch3, work (TRx2, CHx2, TRx3) into the same space. *** Work HTRx3 into the next three spaces then work (TRx3, CHx2, TRx3) into the next space. Repeat from *** another twice then work HTRx3 into the next two spaces. SS to join to the 3rd ch of the starting ch3.

Stitches explained:

CH  = Chain Stitch - Yarn around hook (from the back) and pull the new yarn through the loop on your hook.  This is ONE chain.  Repeat as needed.

TR - Treble Crochet - Yarn around hook (from the back) put hook through work and draw yarn back through (3 loops on hook) yarn around hook, draw through 2 loops on hook, yarn around hook, draw through 2 loops on hook.

HTR - Half Treble Crochet - Yarn around hook (from the back), put hook through work and draw yarn back through (3 loops on hook) yarn around hook, draw through 3 loops on hook.

Puff Stitch - {Yarn around hook, put hook through work and draw yarn back through, pulling up higher than usual} 4 times.  yarn around hook, draw through 9 loops on hook, CH 1 to close puff.

SS  = Slip Stitch - Put hook through work, draw yarn back through both loops on your hook.

Oh, and just for transparency, if you buy anything from Amazon using the links I provided I get a small commission. just pennies if I remember rightly, but it doesn't cost you a bean  :)
