how to crochet a daisy bouquet (beginner tutorial, NO SEW!)

To make a crochet daisy, you will need a four millimeter crochet hook, a stitch marker, crafting scissors, sage green yarn, yellow yarn, a bit of white yarn, 12-inch bamboo skewers, a bit of polyfill, and a hot glue gun.

You start the middle yellow center of the daisy by making a magic circle with weight four yellow yarn, securing it with a chain one, and then crocheting six single crochets into the circle.

After creating the magic circle and placing six single crochets in it, you will perform a round of increases to have a total of 12 stitches. This involves placing two single crochets in each stitch from the first round.

To make a petal, after securing the yellow and green centers together with white yarn, you chain three, then work a triple crochet into the corresponding stitches of both the yellow and green circles, chain three again, and then slip stitch into the same stitches to complete the petal.

The final step to complete the crocheted daisy, after crocheting all the petals, is to secure any loose tail ends by weaving them into the project and then fasten off. If needed, you can also stuff the center of the daisy with excess yarn or polyfill to give it the desired puffiness.

To create a stem for the daisy, use a bamboo skewer and wrap green yarn around the entirety of the stick, securing it every so often with hot glue. Leave some of the pointed end unwrapped for attaching to the daisy later. Once wrapped, you can then attach the daisy to the stem using more hot glue.

To position the daisy to face upwards, add a little more yarn to the pointed end of the skewer and stick it through the middle of the magic circle at the center of the daisy, securing it with glue. This method allows the daisy to be positioned as if it's facing the sky instead of directly towards you.
