The Best Yarn for This Project
A soft yarn with some structure works well so petals hold their shape nicely. Opt for brighter hues for a playful look, or softer colours for a more delicate floral style.

Size and Fit Guide
You can alter the weight of the yarn and hook used to make the flower to make it feel more delicate or more dramatic. Continue to add rounds as shown until the flower is as full and oversized as you want.
Used Stitches
The tutorial clearly shows a flower worked from the center out in petal-building rounds, but the exact stitch details are best followed from the video demo itself.
How to Do It
Begin the Foundation
Start with a small center ring and work the middle of the flower first. This provides you the base for the petals.
Work the Body Part
Work the flower in rounds, letting each section grow larger from the center. The giant daisy looks like the petals, so take your time and keep them even.
Change the Size
To make the flower bigger, continue building the petals until you have the desired fullness. You can also use a heavier weight yarn for a bolder look.
Become or Create
Ensure each petal lays flat and is evenly spaced around the center. If necessary, shape them gently with your hands as you work.
Edge Finishing
Fasten off neatly and weave in ends well. Reshape the petals, and flower lightly so it looks open and balanced.
Useful tips
- Use stitch markers if you have a habit of losing your place in rounds.
- Keep an eye on your tension so the flower lies flat.
- If the petals curl in too much, try easing off on your tension a little.
- Weave in ends firmly, especially if the flower will be handled a lot.
- Keep the light away. This can help the petals to open beautifully.
Frequent Mistakes to Avoid
- Too tight in the middle
- Losing track of the repeats of the petal
- Uneven stretch
- Uneven distribution of the petals
- Tying off without securing the ends properly
