Free Crochet Daisy Flower with Leaf Pattern

Overview

Daisies carry that classic, cheerful look that suits almost any decor style. Amigurumi flowers like this one have become hugely popular for home decorating, photo props, and handmade gifts, mainly because they combine texture, color, and durability in one small package. Crochet Daisy Flower patterns give you full creative control since you pick the yarn shades and can tweak the petal count to match your vision.

Khaki-colored stem, bright yellow core, and pure white petals give this design its natural daisy look. A wire core keeps the stem flexible enough to bend into a display yet sturdy enough to hold its shape.

Skill Level

This Free Crochet Daisy Flower project suits confident beginners and intermediate crocheters comfortable with magic rings, increases, and decreases. Basic single crochet and double crochet skills are enough. Sewing pieces together and wrapping wire require a little patience, but nothing overly technical stands in your way here.

Materials You’ll Need

Gathering supplies ahead of time keeps your project moving smoothly:

• YarnArt Jeans yarn (55% Acrylic, 45% Cotton), 50g/160m, in three shades: №01 white, №88 yellow, and №82 khaki
• 1.5mm crochet hook
• Wire, 1.5–2mm diameter
• Polyester holofiber stuffing
• A wooden stick or skewer for pushing stuffing into narrow sections
• Scissors and a yarn needle for sewing

Yarn weight matters more than people realize here. A thinner yarn blend like this one lets the stem hold fine detail while staying flexible around the wire core.

Crochet Stem Pattern

Working the stem first gives your daisy its foundation and makes assembly far easier later.

Round 1: 6 sc in MR (6)

2–16: 6 sc (15 rounds across 6)

17: BLO – inc * 6 (12)

18: (2 sc, inc) * 4 (16)

Round 19: (3 sc, inc) * 4 (20)

Fasten off and cut yarn, leaving enough tail to attach the stem to the flower core later.

Crochet Leaf Pattern

Leaves add that final touch of realism, and this one works up quickly using chain stitches instead of rounds.

Round 1: Chain 10

Work across the sides of the chain, starting from the 2nd stitch from hook: 3 sc, 5 dc, 5 dc in the last stitch. Across the other side of the chain: 5 dc, 2 sc, sl st (24)

Fasten off and cut yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Khaki yarn suits this leaf beautifully, though a deeper green works too if you’d rather match a traditional daisy look.

Crochet Flower Core Pattern

Yellow yarn brings this small centerpiece to life, and its rounded shape anchors all five petals around it.

Round 1: 6 sc in MR (6)

2: inc * 6 (12)

3: (1 sc, inc) * 6 (18)

Rounds 4–5: 18 sc (18)

Round 6: (1 sc, dec) * 6 (12)

Round 7: dec * 6 (6)

Fasten off and cut yarn.

Crochet Petal Pattern

Five identical petals give the daisy its classic, symmetrical bloom. Repeat this pattern five times using white yarn.

1: 6 sc in MR (6)

2: inc * 6 (12)

3: (2 sc, inc) * 4 (16)

4–6: 16 sc (3 rounds across 16)

7: (2 sc, dec) * 4 (12)

8: (1 sc, dec) * 4 (8)

9: Fold the piece in half and crochet through both edges 4 sc

Fasten off and cut yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Assembly Guide

Putting the daisy together takes patience more than skill, and each step builds naturally on the last.

• Cut a piece of wire twice the length of your stem.
• Fold the wire in half and wrap it with plaster tape to keep it smooth and secure.
• Insert the wrapped wire into the crocheted stem.
• Use a wooden stick to push stuffing evenly into the stem, filling it firmly around the wire.
• Sew the flower core onto the top of the stem, keeping stitches tight and even.
• Attach all five petals around the core, spacing them evenly for a balanced bloom.
• Sew the leaf onto the stem at your preferred height and angle.

Stuffing density affects how the flower holds its shape, so pack it firmly rather than loosely.

Helpful Tips

A few small details make a noticeable difference in the final result:

• Keep tension consistent across all five petals so they match in size.
• Sew petals slightly overlapping for a fuller, more natural bloom.
• Trim wire tails carefully before wrapping to avoid sharp edges poking through yarn.
• Test the stem’s bend before final assembly to confirm the wire moves smoothly.

Customization and Variations

Trust me, once you’ve made one daisy, you’ll want to experiment. Swap the yellow core for orange or brown to create a sunflower-inspired look. Multiple stems bundled together make a lovely mini bouquet, perfect for a vase or a flat lay photo.

Petal count offers another easy variation. Adding two extra petals creates a fuller, denser bloom, while removing one gives a more delicate, wildflower feel. Wire length can also change depending on whether you want a short potted flower or a tall stem for a bouquet arrangement.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Small errors early in the project tend to snowball, so keep these points in mind:

• Skipping the plaster wrap around the wire often leads to a wobbly, unstable stem.
• Uneven stuffing creates lumps or thin spots that show through the yarn.
• Loose sewing between petals and the core leaves gaps that weaken the whole flower.
• Rushing the leaf shaping can leave it looking flat instead of naturally curved.

Careful, unhurried assembly saves you from unpicking stitches later.

Finishing Touches

Fluff the petals gently once sewn to give them a soft, rounded shape. A light steam from a distance can help relax stiff stitches without damaging the yarn fibers. Bend the stem into a natural curve rather than leaving it perfectly straight, since real daisies rarely stand rigidly upright.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different yarn weight for this pattern?
Yes, though stitch counts may shift slightly with thicker yarn, and you’ll need a larger hook to match.

How long does one daisy take to complete?
Most crocheters finish a single flower, including stem and leaf, within one to two hours.

Does the wire make the stem safe for children’s toys?
No, the wire core is best suited for decorative use rather than items meant for young children.

Can I skip the wire entirely?
Yes, though the stem will lose its ability to bend and hold a pose.
