Hi guys!

I have a simple crochet Oxeye Daisy pattern to share with you. It is the first flower in a series of flowers. Some of them (like this one) can be used as embellishments or even turned into motifs if you are adventurous. Others are three-dimensional and possibly less practical unless you intend to use them, as I am doing, to make a 3D bouquet for your wall.

Embellishment, you say?  Well, I wore one of mine as a brooch the first day I made it…

And did you mention a bouquet???  Why yes, I did :)  This is the bouquet three-quarters done.  I’ve since added loads more flowers and some leaves.  I think it needs one more flower, and it will be complete.  You can see a collection of the individual flowers and leaves HERE in my Instagram Highlights.

I have chosen to share this pattern as a written-only pattern with charts by the talented Masako Kawahara from Crochethmmm.  If you have any problems with the instructions, please have a look at the Video Tutorials listed below.

Special Stitches

Surface Sl st

With your working yarn behind your work, insert your hook into the indicated st/sp. Yarn over and pull through your work, then pull through the loop on your hook, completing your slip stitch.

Materials

• 4mm crochet hook (I use Clover Amour, available HERE on Amazon.com and HERE on Amazon.co.uk)
• Yarnsmiths Pebble Haze DK (50g/145m; 33% acrylic, 67% cotton) – available from Wool Warehouse HERE.
  • Yellow – 2C110 Yellow Amber
  • White – 2C040 Marble

Instructions

Round 1

With Yellow and working into a magic ring:  Ch 3 (counts as first dc), 15 dc.  Join to the top of the beg ch-3 with a sl st.  Fasten off and work away your ends.  {16 dc}

Round 2

In this round, you will be making the first half of each Petal.

Join your yarn by making a sl st in any stitch around.  Ch 9.  Working into one loop only: sl st in the second ch from the hook, sc in the next 6 ch sts, sl st in the last ch st.  *Sl st in the next st of Round 1.  Ch 9.  Working into one loop only: sl st in the second ch from the hook, sc in the next 6 ch sts, sl st in the last ch st.* 

Repeat from * to * until you wave worked into each dc from Round 1.  {16 Half-petals}

Round 3

In this round, you will be completing each Petal.

*Working into both rem loops of each ch st of the next Petal:  sl st in the first ch, sc in the next 6 ch sts, sl st in the last ch.  You will notice that there are 7 ‘holes’ down the middle of your Petal.  Make a surface sl st in each of these 7 holes.* 

Rep from * to * until you have completed each Petal.  Fasten off and work away your ends.  {16 Petals}

When you are done, the flower will curl a bit…

It’s nothing a good blocking won’t cure.  I steam-blocked mine, but you can wet-block with equal success.

After blocking, the petals will be nice and flat.

You can, of course, use oranges or purples if you choose to make Cape Daisies instead :)

I hope you have enjoyed making this little Daisy, and that you look forward to making some of the other flowers when I release the patterns.  Please remember to use #crochetoxeyedaisy when you share on social media so that I can see your beauties.
