Crochet Daisy Pattern with Ten Long Petals and a Button Center

This ten-petal crochet daisy has long white petals surrounding a raised yellow center. Each petal is made from a chain and a return row of stitches, so the flower is not assembled from ten separate pieces. A small green receptacle supports the petal bases and the yellow button is attached after the flower has been shaped.

Materials

• Cotton No. 8 in white and yellow, plus dark green wool for the backing.
• A 1.90 mm crochet hook; use the millimeter size rather than a regional letter label.
• 0.6 mm floral wire.
• Green floral tape, scissors, a yarn needle and wire cutters.
• Fabric glue for attaching the yellow center.

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. Tr has two yarn overs before insertion. The taller treble stitches form most of each petal; replacing them with dc produces a different outline. The source rates this design three stars out of five.

Crochet the Green Receptacle

Round / step	Instructions
Foundation	Ch 5 with dark green and join into a ring.
1	Ch 1 and work 2 sc into each foundation chain. (10 sc)
2-3	Sc in each stitch for two rounds. Keep ten stitches in each round. Fasten off.

Add Ten White Petals

Join white to the green base. For one petal, ch 13. Starting in the second chain from the hook, work 1 sc, 1 dc, 9 tr and 1 dc along the twelve available chains. Anchor the petal with 1 sc in the next base stitch. Repeat once for each of the ten base stitches, giving ten petals. Join with a sl st and fasten off.

Count the return stitches before anchoring each petal: 1 + 1 + 9 + 1 = 12. The initial chain left beside the hook is not another return stitch. Keep each chain the same length and tension so the petals sit at a similar distance from the center. The yellow button will cover the central attachment area later.

Make the Raised Yellow Button

Ch 4 with yellow and join into a small ring. Work 50 sc into that ring, following the source button construction, and fasten off. These stitches are packed around the ring to build a raised center; do not treat the instruction as fifty foundation chains or an increase round worked through fifty separate base stitches.

The source refers to a video for this button technique but does not include a usable video link in the supplied file. Keep the written ring-and-fifty-sc method and compare the raised shape with the original photo. No additional undocumented center rounds are introduced here.

Support the Flower and Attach Its Center

1. Pass the 0.6 mm wire through the middle of the green receptacle. Bring it out at a petal base and along that area toward the edge as shown in the source diagram.
2. Bend the wire back and twist its corresponding ends below the flower to form the stem support.
3. Apply fabric glue to the back of the yellow button and place it over the flower center. Keep the ten petal roots spread evenly around it.
4. Allow the glued join to dry before reshaping the flower. Wrap the joined wire stem with green floral tape.

Check the Finished Daisy

Lay the flower face upward while the glue sets. There should be ten white petals and no loose wire visible across the yellow face. Fan the petals around the center once the attachment is secure. The source uses one support wire through the backing; it does not call for a separate wire inside every petal.

Questions About This Daisy

How is this different from the seven-petal chamomile?

The chamomile uses seven shorter petals with dc returns. This daisy has ten longer petals, nine tr in each return and a separate fifty-sc button center.

Is the yellow center a stuffed ball?

No stuffing is specified. The raised button is made by working the instructed sc into its small foundation ring.
