🧶 Pattern Instructions

💡 Tip: Keep tension consistent on Round 3 to create even daisy petals.
  1. Round 1
    With B, ch 4, sl st to first ch to form ring. Ch 1, work 8 sc into ring, sl st to first sc. (8 sts)
  2. Round 2
    Ch 1, 2 sc in each st around, sl st to first sc. Change to A. (16 sts)
  3. Round 3
    Ch 3 (counts as dc), dc in same st, *ch 1, skip 1 st, 2 dc in next st; rep from * 6 times, ch 1, skip last st, sl st to top of ch-3. Fasten off A. (8 petals made)
  4. Round 4
    Join C in any ch-1 sp, ch 3 (counts as dc), 2 dc in same sp, *ch 2, 3 dc in next ch-1 sp; rep from * 6 times, ch 2, sl st to top of ch-3. (8 groups of 3-dc)
  5. Round 5
    Ch 3 (counts as dc), dc in next 2 dc, *2 dc in ch-2 sp, dc in next 3 dc; rep from * 7 times, 2 dc in last ch-2 sp, sl st to top of ch-3. (40 dc) [Note: This round increases stitches from 24 base dc (3×8) with 8 pairs of dc (2×8=16) in ch-2 spaces]
  6. Round 6
    Ch 3 (counts as dc), dc in next 4 dc, *ch 2 (corner made), dc in next 10 dc; rep from * 2 times, ch 2, dc in last 5 dc, sl st to top of ch-3. Fasten off. (4 groups of 10 dc per side with 4 corner ch-2 spaces; total 40 dc plus 4 corner chains)
Row counter:
💡 Tip: This variation creates fuller daisy petals for a bolder look.
  1. Round 1
    With B, ch 4, sl st to first ch to form ring. Ch 3 (counts as dc), work 15 dc into ring, sl st to top of ch-3. (16 dc)
  2. Round 2
    Ch 1, sc in same st, *ch 3, skip 1 dc, sc in next dc; rep from * 6 times, ch 3, skip last dc, sl st to first sc. Change to A. (8 ch-3 loops)
  3. Round 3
    Sl st into first ch-3 sp, (sc, 3 dc, sc) in each ch-3 sp around, sl st to first sc. Fasten off A. (8 petals)
  4. Rounds 4-6
    Join C and work as Rounds 4-6 of Variation 1.
Row counter:
💡 Tip: Delicate petals create a daintier daisy perfect for baby items.
  1. Rounds 1-2
    Work as Rounds 1-2 of Variation 1.
  2. Round 3
    Ch 1, sc in same st, *ch 2, skip 1 st, sc in next st; rep from * 6 times, ch 2, skip last st, sl st to first sc. Fasten off B. (8 ch-2 loops)
  3. Round 4
    Join A in any ch-2 sp, (sc, 2 dc, sc) in each ch-2 sp around, sl st to first sc. Fasten off A. (8 small petals)
  4. Rounds 5-6
    Join C and work as Rounds 4-5 of Variation 1, then work Round 6 as written.
Row counter:
💡 Tip: Block squares before joining for perfectly aligned edges.
  1. Whipstitch Method
    Place two squares wrong sides together. Using tapestry needle and matching yarn, whipstitch through back loops only along one edge, working through both squares. Weave in ends after completing the seam.
  2. Slip Stitch Join
    Place squares right sides together. With C and hook, sl st through both back loops across edge. This creates a ridge on the right side. Fasten off and weave in ends.
  3. Flat Braid Join
    Place squares side by side, right side up. Join C in corner, *sc in first square, sc in second square; rep from * across edge to opposite corner. Fasten off and weave in ends securely for an invisible join.
Row counter:

✂️ Finishing

Weave in all remaining ends securely using tapestry needle. For blocking, pin each square to measurement on a blocking board or towel, lightly mist with water or use steam, and allow to dry completely. If making a blanket or throw, work a border around the entire piece: Join C in any corner, *sc evenly along edge to corner, (sc, ch 2, sc) in corner sp; rep from * around all sides, sl st to first sc. Fasten off. For added stability on larger projects, work 1-2 additional rounds of sc with corner increases. Estimate additional yardage: 5-10 yards per square for joining seams (depending on project size) and 20-40 yards for border work on completed projects.

🧺 Care Instructions

Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent. Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Lay flat to dry, reshaping to measurements. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. For spot cleaning, use damp cloth with mild soap. Store folded in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.

Questions About This Pattern

Absolutely — just match the weight (Worsted). You'll need about approximately 40-50 yards per square, so make sure your substitute has enough meterage. Acrylic is budget-friendly and machine-washable; wool gives better stitch definition and drape.
Yes! This is one of the friendlier patterns to start with. You only need to know: ch, sc, dc, sl st. Work slowly, count your stitches at the end of each row, and don't be afraid to frog (rip back) and redo a section — that's how everyone learns. Budget about 1-2 hours per square; beginners often take a bit longer, and that's totally fine.
Find the stitch repeat in the pattern (usually mentioned in the foundation chain section) and add or remove multiples of that number. Keep in mind: with Worsted yarn, every extra inch of width across a blanket adds meaningful yardage — double the size means roughly 4× the yarn. For a baby blanket, halving the dimensions works well as a starting point.
For this pattern, gauge is "Each square measures 6 inches across". For decorative or non-fitted items it's less critical, but matching gauge ensures you use the right amount of yarn and get the proportions the pattern intends. If your swatch is too small (too many stitches/inch), go up a hook size. Too large — go down.
Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent. Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Lay flat to dry, reshaping to measurements. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. For spot cleaning, use damp cloth with mild soap. Store folded in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. A general rule: when unsure about the yarn, hand wash in cool water with a drop of gentle detergent, squeeze (don't wring), and block flat to dry. This is safe for almost every fiber.
Each section builds on the last, so yes — follow them in order. That said, some finishing sections (like embellishments or optional edging) can be skipped if you prefer a simpler look. Read through all sections before starting so you understand how the pieces fit together and can plan your yarn usage across sections.
