Round 1: ch 2, 11 double crochet (dc) into ring
Round 2: change to new color with a slip st in any space between dc; ch2, * 3 treble (tc) in same space; remove crochet hook and insert it into the top of the first tc; hook and pull last tc through first loop - petal made - ch2 * and repeat * to *. make 11 more petals in this fashion
Slip st into first petal and finish off.
Sorry I didn't include the steps and photos side-by-side, but I thought by including some photos, you could at least have a gauge for how it should look! Good luck!
You can see photos of my finished blanket here.
To see how to add rounds go here.
Such a cute pattern! Would you be willing to share how you make the rest of the block? I made the daisy but I can't make the block look right.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, Thanks for your nice note. I'm working on a new daisy blanket for a customer over on Etsy, so when I work one up next time, I'll try to take some photos as I go. In the meantime: all that I'm doing is joining a new color in any of the ch spaces and working a simple granny square pattern:
Deletech2 (or ch3 for some - I just like to do 2) - this counts as the first dc; then 2dc, ch1, 3dc - this is your first corner, * 3dc in the next two spaces, 3dc, ch1, 3dc* repeat from * two more times, 3dc in next two spaces. Join with a slip st. Fasten off.
I hope that makes sense. As I mentioned, I'll try to take some new photos of this as soon as I can. Have a great weekend!
Yes, would really love the pattern for the rest of the block. Please share!
ReplyDeleteHi fessup - I just posted a reply with quick instructions as to finishing up the square. I will try to get some more photos up soon!
DeleteI LOVE this! sooo pretty! And Daisies are one of my favorites :) thank you so much for sharing your pattern.
ReplyDeleteYou are so welcome! I hope you have a terrific weekend and thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI too would love the rest of the block pattern if it is at possible! My daughters name is daisy and I just know she would love this blanket with a pink border!
ReplyDeleteHi Georgia, I just posted a small reply to Kim about the border for this square. I'll try to take some photos soon. Thanks for your nice note and for stopping by. Hope you have a great weekend. P.S. I love that your daughter's name is Daisy!
DeleteI love this! Beautiful! Going to buy yarn to get started tonight! What brand of yarn are you using? Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteHi Carrie, Thanks for stopping by and thank you for your nice note. I use just about any yarn I can get my hands on! The yarn that I used in this particular blanket is Hobby Lobby's "I love this yarn" - it's very soft and smooth.
DeleteThanks Laura for the quick instructions. Mine came out beautiful. Thanks again for your pictures they are really helpful. I will post the square on my blog:) I am so glad I found your blog and you do such awesome stuff.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try this one. This is one of the best daisies I've seen. They make me happy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for such a nice note Karen!
DeleteYou tutorial was excellent. Thank you for taking the time to show us how to make this cute daisy.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the feedback. I'll try to keep adding more as I get the chance. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThis is one of the best granny squares I've seen, thanks so much for sharing!
DeleteYou are so welcome Joyce! Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a terrific weekend!
DeleteAwesome work and thank you for sharing. My daughter is an art major that is going off to college next year after two years of community college. She and I are TIGHT, so this will be a big change for us both. I plan on sending her off with this (blue and yellow version) since she is a HUGE daisy fan. Keep 'em coming!
ReplyDeleteThank you k2sfi! It must be bittersweet to send your "little girl" off to college! It sounds like the distance will only make your bond stronger. Thanks again for such a nice note!

ReplyDeleteGreetings from India
ReplyDeleteYour tutorials are great.A non crochet person like me too can read and make things after going through your wonderful tutorials.
I really appreciate your effort.
Thank you Pratima! I hope they inspire or help others to try. It's an addictive hobby though! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a note. Have a wonderful day (or night where you are!)
DeleteHi, first of all, I so appreciate that you posted the pattern for this as I've had it pinned on Pinterest for a while and have been excited to make this for my sister-in-law who loves daisies and the color lilac. I am starting today...I just have a question; when you start the new color for round 2 with a slip stitch and then do a tc, for me it doesn't seem to work, not sure if I've missed something or am doing it wrong, but it pulls the slip stitch up funny. Could I join with a slip stitch, ch 4, do 2tc, and then take the hook out to join them at the top? I hope this question makes sense, I don't mean to waste your time. Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteHi Amanda, Thanks for stopping by! To answer your question, of course you could use a ch4 to begin the petal. For some reason, I try to avoid beg chains - I'm not sure why exactly! I just don't like the look - and I found it harder to pull through. It's all subjective, and I am always open to the traditional way or another! Good luck with your afghan!
DeleteHello! I was wondering, is it ch-2 or ch-4 between the petals?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
It's a ch 2 between petals.
Deletethanks! it looks much nicer now :)
ReplyDeletei did this with a G hook but I read in another comment that you use an I hook, so i'll be giving that a try!
thanks again for this beautiful pattern!
Thank you so much for sharing the pattern. I am going to make one as a Christmas gift for someone. I love this!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your nice note. Let me know if you get a photo up somewhere of your finished work; would love to see it! Have a very nice weekend!
Deletehello, thanks for sharing your pattern. I love your work! I used your pattern on a cushion and I wish you could see it: http://crocheecia.blogspot.com.br/2012/10/capa-de-almofada-primavera.html
ReplyDeletesorry my english, I'm from Brazil.
Hugs!
Ariane - Your pillow covers are beautiful - maravilloso!
Deletedoyou have the remaining rows instructions??
ReplyDeleteHi Heather, If you look at the very bottom, where it says: "To see how to add rounds go here." Click on the "here" and it will take you to the next steps. I just add a simple granny border to the ch2 spaces, but I did take some photos to show how I do it. I hope that helps. Happy crocheting!
DeleteThanks sweetheart , I just finish my daisies blanket.Made it with pastel colors for the Fall season.Thanks for all the square tutorial ,for your time and kindness.... :0)
ReplyDeleteLuna, it's beautiful. We just got back from a trip and part of it was driving through the mountains of West Virginia - all of the trees are beautiful fall colors; so many colors reminded me of your blanket.
DeleteI found your blog off of Pinterest but I wanted to let you know that I am currently doing my own version of a daisy blanket with your daisy pattern. I love how easy it is! Thanks so much for sharing. Because the blanket is a surprise I cant post it until it is finished but would love to tag your blog in it for the pattern if you dont mind.
ReplyDeleteHi Jenni, Thanks for the note! Would love to see your final blanket -- It's fun to see all of the variations people have come up with. I don't mind at all if you'd like to link back. Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
Deletehi there. i love the look of your daisy . have you written the instuctions in 'americian terms' a here in UK we refer to dc as a double-crochet whereas in USA is a treble.
ReplyDeletewouldn't it be easy if everyone had same terms for the stitches!!
Hi Val - thanks for your note. Yes, I have written in American terms, so the trebles are doubles. I agree - it would be so much easier if we all just followed the same terms! (I also prefer metric, so much easier than inches and ounces over here - I wish we'd convert to that too!) Have a lovely rest of your week!
DeleteHi Laura
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tutorial :). I want to make this for my baby girl :)
But I have a question. Do I need to crochet 4 tc for every petal? or just 3?
sorry for my english.
Greets from Europe
Hi nenemoosha, I'm sorry for taking so long to get back to you! It's 3tc for each petal. I only start with a ch2 for the first petal as a "build up" - for some reason I don't like how a ch3, 2tc looks at the beginning, so I ch2 and 3tc for the first petal. I hope that makes sense. Happy crochet!
DeleteI am new to crocheting and I want to thank you for sharing such an easy pattern, but I am having problems with my petals. My petals are flat and don't stick up like yours. Could you tell me what I might be doing wrong? I am using an I hook. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteHi Amy, I'm not sure why your petals aren't puffing up a bit. Mine don't stick up too much, but they don't lay flat either. You might be using a lighter weight yarn, or maybe your tension is looser. I do tend to crochet on the tighter side. (Note: When you remove the hook from the last tc made, insert your hook through the first tc and pull the last loop through the first tc - that's where you get that "pucker" or "lift".)
DeleteCould you show how you joined the squares together? this is my first blanket
ReplyDeleteHi Amanda, if you click on "Tutorials", then "Join as you go", it will show you how I join my squares. Good luck!
DeleteHey Mz Tillie! I love that you are kind enough to share this tutorial with all the rest of us! I just started mine, and its so easy! Found you via Pinterest, and love your blankets! My mother's name is Daizy and she has a scottie trailer all done up in daisies, so for her b'day, I want to give her a blanket to match, using your tutorial! I'm using the same yellow and white for flowers, but the squares will be 2 shades of green because bright green is my mom's favorite color. haven't decided yet wether to border in more white, or darker green, so any ideas would be helpful.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for sharing! Lots of love from the South!
~ Southern Girl Elle May ~
Read back through some of your posts, and I think its so cute that you already had a customer request one for her trailer! Ya-hoo! ;)
DeleteIt's a fun square to do, with so many options; your colors sound beautiful - and what a thoughtful gift for your mother! I think the dark green would be dramatic. I worked on a light blue baby blanket that I was going to join/edge in bright blue, but the squares took a backseat to other projects...I will have to get those out and finally finish it up! Happy hooking!
DeleteThank you so much for posting this tutorial.
ReplyDeleteI really love this daisy square .
I'd like to share this tutorial with Japanese bloggers.
I had translated this tutorial to Japanese on my blog here:

ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice note Chel! Good luck with the square - once you get into a groove with it, it's a fun one to work up.
DeleteHi I love this Daisy :-) but as a newbie to crochet can I ask what size hook you use and what type of yarn?
ReplyDeleteThank you very much
