With cheerful faces and beautiful petal designs, these sweet flowers make wonderful decorations, accessories, or gifts.

Materials Needed for Your Daisy Flower Crochet Project

Before getting started on your daisy flower amigurumi, gather these materials:

  • Semi-thick cotton yarn in colors of your choice (shown in pink, white, yellow, and lilac)
  • Fine black yarn (for the facial features)
  • Synthetic stuffing or siliconized polyester filling
  • 2.75 mm crochet hook
  • 5 mm safety eyes
  • Pink felt (for the cheeks)
  • Multi-purpose adhesive or fabric glue
  • Tapestry needle
  • Scissors
  • Stitch markers

These daisies work beautifully in pastel colors like pink, white, and lilac, but feel free to experiment with your favorite color combinations. The contrast between the center and petals creates the classic daisy look we all love.

Abbreviations Used in This Pattern

This Daisy Flower Crochet pattern uses standard crochet abbreviations in both Spanish and English:

  • RND: Ronda / Round
  • AM: Anillo mágico / Magic Ring
  • Ch: Cadena / Chain
  • Pb: Punto bajo / Single crochet
  • Aum: Aumento / Increase
  • Dism: Disminución / Decrease

For those new to amigurumi, an increase (Aum) means working two single crochet stitches in the same stitch, and a decrease (Dism) means working two stitches together as one.

Step-by-Step Daisy Flower Crochet Pattern Instructions

Creating the Flower Base/Center

The center of the daisy is worked in a continuous spiral without joining rounds. Work in your chosen center color (yellow or lilac as shown in the photos):

  1. 6 single crochet (pb) in magic ring (6)
  2. Increase (Aum) 6 times (12)
  3. (1 single crochet, 1 increase) 6 times (18)
  4. (2 single crochet, 1 increase) 6 times (24)
  5. (3 single crochet, 1 increase) 6 times (30)
  6. 30 single crochet (30)

Note: The next round will be worked in back loops only.

  1. 30 single crochet in back loops only (30)

Note: Return to working in both loops.

  1. (3 single crochet, 1 decrease) 6 times (24)
  2. (2 single crochet, 1 decrease) 6 times (18)

Insert safety eyes between the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Now is also a good time to start stuffing your flower center.

  1. (1 single crochet, 1 decrease) 6 times (12)
  2. Decrease 6 times (6)

Cut yarn and close the opening. The back loops left free in round 7 will be used later to attach the petals.

Creating the Petals (Make 10)

For the petals, use your contrasting color (pink or white as shown):

  1. 6 single crochet in magic ring (6)
  2. Increase 6 times (12)
  3. to 6. Four rounds of 12 single crochet (12)
  4. Decrease 6 times (6)
  5. Chain 1, turn the petal and work 3 single crochet across both sides to create a folded petal, then chain 1 (3)

Cut yarn and leave a tail for sewing. Repeat for all 10 petals.

Daisy Flower Crochet Finishing Touches

  1. Attaching the Petals: Take a long strand of yarn in the same color as your base. Sew through the free back loops that remained from round 7 of the base. Attach each petal using 3 stitches per petal. When you’ve sewn all petals, make a final stitch at the beginning point of the first petal, fasten off, and hide the yarn tail.
  2. Creating the Face:
    • Use black yarn to embroider a simple smile.
    • Cut two small circles from pink felt and glue them under the eyes to create rosy cheeks.

The finished daisy flower amigurumi should be approximately 3-4 inches (7-10 cm) in diameter, depending on your yarn weight and tension.

Creative Variations and Ideas

This basic daisy pattern is versatile and can be customized in many ways:

Color Combinations

  • Classic Daisy: White petals with yellow center
  • Pink Daisy: Pink petals with yellow center (as shown)
  • Purple Beauty: White petals with lilac center (as shown)
  • Sunflower Style: Yellow petals with dark brown center
  • Fantasy Flower: Try rainbow petals or ombré effects

Size Variations

  • For a smaller flower, use thinner yarn and a smaller hook
  • For a larger statement piece, use thicker yarn and a larger hook
  • Create a mix of different sized flowers for a beautiful arrangement

Practical Uses for Your Crochet Daisies

Once you’ve created your daisy amigurumis, here are some wonderful ways to use them:

  • Attach to hairclips or headbands for cute accessories
  • Sew onto bags, hats, or clothing for personalization
  • Create a garland by joining multiple flowers
  • Use as decorative elements in a child’s room
  • Make into refrigerator magnets
  • Create a bouquet of various colored daisies
  • Attach to gift wrapping for a special touch
  • Add a pin back to create a charming brooch

Helpful Tips for Perfect Daisy Flowers

  • Tension: Keep your tension consistent for a polished final result
  • Stuffing: Don’t overstuff the center—a lightly stuffed center creates the perfect daisy shape
  • Petals: Make sure all petals are the same size for a symmetrical flower
  • Eyes: Position the safety eyes carefully to give your daisy the perfect expression
  • Yarn Selection: Cotton yarn works best for amigurumi as it holds its shape well and shows stitch definition clearly

Troubleshooting Common Issues

  • Curling Petals: If your petals curl too much, try working the last row more loosely
  • Gaps Between Petals: If you notice gaps, add an extra stitch when attaching each petal
  • Uneven Shape: Count your stitches carefully in each round to maintain the circular shape
  • Difficulty With Magic Ring: If you find the magic ring challenging, start with a chain of 2, then work 6 single crochet in the second chain from hook
