Crochet Daffodil Pattern with Five Petals and a Yellow Trumpet

This five-petal crochet daffodil combines a white star-shaped flower with a separate yellow trumpet. The white petals grow from one green receptacle and are then edged as a continuous flower. The yellow center is made independently, turned inside out and mounted over the petal roots. This tutorial retains the five-petal form shown in the supplied design rather than adding a sixth petal.

Materials

• Cotton No. 8 in white and soft yellow, with the green backing shown in the source chart.
• A 1.90 mm crochet hook; use the millimeter size rather than a regional letter label.
• 0.8 mm floral wire for the backing and center.
• Green floral tape, scissors, a yarn needle and wire cutters.

The source does not specify a numerical gauge, yarn quantity or finished flower diameter. Keep the same thread and tension across matching parts; changing thread size changes the finished dimensions.

Stitches and Pattern Notes

US crochet terms are used throughout. Ch = chain, sl st = slip stitch, sc = single crochet, hdc = half double crochet, dc = double crochet, tr = treble crochet. An increase places two stitches in one stitch; a decrease combines stitches. The source legend uses the words “2 stitches together” for an increase into one stitch. Those increases are written here as 2 sc or 2 dc in the same stitch. A cluster, when specified, is closed together. Crab stitch is reverse single crochet. Read the flower chart alongside the petal round, especially the turn around each tip and the base attachment. The printed materials panel names white and yellow, while the receptacle and its chart use green; include green for that backing.

Make the Green Receptacle

Round / step	Instructions
Foundation	Ch 5 and join into a ring.
1	Ch 1 and place 2 sc in each foundation chain. (10)
2	Sc around. (10)
3	Repeat (2 sc in one stitch, 1 sc) five times. (15)
4-5	Sc around for two rounds, keeping fifteen stitches in each. Join with a sl st.

Build Five Petal Spines

Join white for Round 6. Ch 13 and work 12 sc back along the chain, beginning in the second chain from the hook. Advance around the receptacle with 3 sc. Work this chain-and-return construction for the next three petals, advancing 3 sc after each one. Make the fifth chain-and-return petal, then work the final 2 sc before closing the round at its starting attachment.

The source prints four three-sc advances and a final two-sc advance. Keep the original chart open for the shared start/end attachment rather than adding an extra base stitch after the join. At this point, check that five narrow spines surround the receptacle before widening them.

Widen and Edge the White Petals

Round / step	Instructions
7	Around each petal spine, work 2 hdc, 2 dc, 4 tr, 2 dc, 4 sc around its tip, 2 dc, 4 tr, 2 dc and 2 hdc. At the base, skip 1 stitch, sc in the next and skip 1 stitch. Repeat for all five petals, following the chart.
8	Work 24 sc around each petal as shown in the source. Continue around all five petals, then fasten off.

Crochet the Yellow Trumpet

Round / step	Instructions
Foundation	Ch 5 in soft yellow and join into a ring.
1	Ch 1 and work 2 sc in each foundation chain. (10)
2-5	Sc around for four rounds. (10 each round)
6	Repeat (2 sc in one stitch, 1 sc) five times. (15)
7	Repeat (3 dc in one stitch, 2 sc) around. Join and fasten off.

Turn the trumpet inside out as instructed in the source. Its wider, textured rim becomes the visible opening. The group of three dc is an increase into one stitch, not a three-stitch decrease; the book uses the same “together” wording for several increases.

Assemble the Daffodil

1. Insert an 0.8 mm wire through the back of the flower, from the receptacle center toward a petal-base edge. Bend it and twist its ends together as shown.
2. Insert a second 0.8 mm support wire through the base of the yellow trumpet and twist the ends below it.
3. Place the trumpet over the center of the white flower. Keep its opening facing forward and bring the support wires together beneath the receptacle.
4. Twist the stem wires together and cover them with green floral tape. Arrange the five petals evenly around the trumpet.

Questions About This Daffodil

Why does this pattern have five petals?

That is the construction printed and charted in the supplied book. This article preserves that design, even though a botanical daffodil is commonly represented with six outer segments.

Does the trumpet need filling?

The source does not add stuffing. Its tube rounds and flared final round create the hollow trumpet shape.
