Crochet a daisy chain
Bring the freshness of a summer meadow into your home with this
everlasting daisy chain. You can make the garland chain as long as
you care to, and even use up oddments of mercerised cotton yarn
to create a kaleidoscope of coloured flowers.

Tension:
Each daisy motif measures 7cm (2 ¾ in) in diameter using a 2.5mm (US size C/2) hook.

Size:
Daisy chain measures approximately 234cm (92in) long

Yarn note:
The daisy chain weighs approximately 28g (1oz) in total, so only small amounts of yarn are required.

Starting with the 10-ch foundation
chain, continue along chain working
leaves and chain alternately as

1 tr in each of next 2 ch, 1 dtr in
each of next 2 ch, 1 trtr in each of
next 2 ch, 1 dtr in next ch, 1 tr in
next ch, 1 dc in next ch.
Make 27 ch.
Leaves 4 and 5: Repeat Leaf 3;
make 11 ch; then repeat Leaf 3
again (making one leaf either side of
chain).***
Leaves 6, 7, 8 and 9: Repeat from
** to *** once more.
Make 37 ch.

Leaf 10: 1 dc in 2nd ch from hook,

Leaf 24: Repeat Leaf 1.
Fasten off.
Step 3
To finish
Pin the daisies along the chain
between the leaves, judging the
spacing by eye.
Using a single strand of A (or a
matching sewing thread) and a
sewing needle, catch stitch the
back of each daisy at its centre,
for approximately 1 cm (3⁄8 in), to
the chain.
Sew in any loose yarn ends.
