Hi guys so today I'm going to show you how to make this crocheted daisy and i'm also going to
show you how to make it into a bookmark if you want to so what you're going to need is your
yarn I'm using Stylecraft Special DK in cream lemon and spring green I'm going to use a four
millimetre crochet hook and you will also need a darning needle and some scissors okay to start off
you're going to want to take your lemon coloured yarn or whatever yarn you choose to start with
in the centre of your flower and we're going to be doing a Magic Circle so you want to bring the
yarn over your fingers like this and then wrap it around to make a cross on the side that's
facing you you then want to turn your hand over and take your crochet hook you want to put your
hook underneath the first piece of yarn and then grab the second piece of yarn to pull it through
and bring your hook over you then want to grab the other piece of yarn the working piece of yarn and
pull it through that loop carefully release your hands and that is your Magic Circle if you want to
see a more in depth tutorial of that Magic Circle I shall leave a link in the description box below
but what you're going to do is go ahead and just chain two and this is going to class as our first
treble crochet so that is a UK term so this would class as a double crochet in the US so were going
to first of all do 12 treble crochets in this loop so this is counting as our first one so you want
to yarn over insert into that very centre circle yarn over pull through yarn over pull through two
and yarn over pull through two so that makes our second treble and again yarn over insert
yarn over pull through yarn over pull through two yarn over pull through two so that makes
our third and fourth now as you're working you might just want to pull this piece of yarn here
and that makes that circle smaller and it just makes it a bit easier as you work around so we've
done our four trebles there so we'll do five six seven eight nine I'm just going to pull my yarn a
little bit again ten eleven and twelve at this point you might just want to double check that
you have got the right amount of stitches so you should have eleven treble so 11 true trebles and
then you'll chain two at the beginning so that makes twelve so once you've got your twelve you
want to hold onto your work with these fingers and you just want to pull this loose thread nice
and tight and that just closes up that circle we're then going to insert our hook into the
top of this chain here so insert our hook yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook to
make a slip stitch and to join that centre circle together you then want to you're an over and pull
through grab your scissors snip off the yarn pull out the hook and then pull that nice and tight and
that is your first round you then want to attach your second colour so whichever colour you have
chosen you need to grab now so I'm now taking my cream coloured yarn I'm going to take my hook
and insert it into one of the spaces between the trebles grab my yarn and pull through and then tie
off to secure you then want to take your hook again and place it into the same space as you
just attached your yarn and you're just going to yarn over and pull through and then yarn over and
pull through so we're just chaining one that is going to class as a double crochet which in the
US that is known as a single crochet so what we're going to do now is we're going to do a half treble
stitch in that same space so this is classing as a double we're now going to do a half treble so in
the US this is known as a half double so it's yarn over insert your hook yarn over pull through and
you'll have three loops on the hook now because this is only a half stitch we're now going to
yarn over and pull through all three loops on the hook we're then going to do a treble so yarn over
insert into the same space yarn over pull through so you've got three loops on the hook yarn over
pull through two and yarn over pull through two we're then going to do a double treble so yarn
over twice insert the hook into the space same space yarn over pull through you have four loops
on the hook yarn over pull through two yarn over pull through two and then yarn over pull through
your last two you're then going to do that two more times so yarn over twice insert yarn over
pull through yarn over pull through two yarn over pull through two and yarn over pull through two
and again yarn over twice insert yarn over pull through yarn over pull through two yarn over
pull through two and yarn over pull through two we're then just going to do a treble so yarn over
once insert yarn over pull through yarn over pull through two and yarn over pull through two a half
treble so yarn over insert yarn over pull through and then yarn over pull through all three loops
on the hook and then we're going to do a double so just insert the hook straight into the same
space yarn over pull through and yarn over pull through both loops on the hook we're then going
to skip the next space so we've just worked in this one we skip this one and then we're going
to do a double in the next one so insert the hook yarn over pull through and yarn over pull through
two I'm going to do the same as this side now but this is just going to be a full petal so
it's yarn over insert yarn over pull through this is a half treble so we're going to yarn
over and pull through all loops on the hook we're then going to do a treble yarn over insert yarn
over pull through yarn over pull through two yarn over pull through two a double treble so yarn over
twice insert yarn over pull through yarn over pull through two yarn over pull through two and yarn
over pull through two twice more so double treble yarn over twice insert yarn over pull through yarn
over pull through two yarn over pull through two and yarn over pull through two and once more with
these double treble so yarn over twice insert yarn over pull through yarn over pull through two yarn
over pull through two yarn over pull through two we're then going to go back to our treble so yarn
over insert yarn over pull through yarn over pull through two yarn over pull through two our half
treble yarn over insert yarn over pull through yarn over pull through all three and then our
double so insert the hook yarn over pull through and then yarn over pull through two you're then
going to skip the next space insert your hook yarn over pull through and then yarn over pull
through two and you're just going to repeat the same pattern as we did for the last petal so you
want to pause the video rewind if necessary to repeat this and then meet me back once you get
to your last petal so you're going to have six petals in total so pause the video and I shall
see you in just a moment so I've just finished my last petal and I've just done my last double
here and what you want to do in order to connect the first petal to the last petal is just insert
your hook into the bottom of that petal just here yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook
just to create a slip stitch and then yarn over and pull through again grab your scissors snip
off your yarn and then pull out and then just pull that nice and tight and then what you want to do
now is just grab your darning needle and sew in those ends to the work so thread up your needle
and then you're just going to weave your needle in and out the work in the same colour part as the
yarn you're using just enough so that it doesn't come undone and then you can snip off your yarn
so you can either leave your flower just as it is and use it as an embellishment for your work you
can use it either way too I actually prefer this way but you could make it look a bit more puffy
with the petals this way whichever way you prefer but if you want to make this into a bookmark stay
tuned and I shall show you what to do I'm going to grab my spring green and I shall see you in moment
okay so here's my spring green you want to just start off by making a slipknot take your needle
so you're going to chain however long you want your bookmark to be so I've not done mine too long
I'm going to chain 30 but you can do whatever length you prefer so it's just yarn over pull
through don't do these chains too tight yarn over pull through yarn over pull through yarn over pull
through as you're moving up your chain just move your fingers towards your hook and that just makes
things easier for you so if you want to continue and chain as many chains as you wish and I shall
meet you back once you've got to your desired length so I've just chained 30 and what we're
going to do is work back along this chain the opposite way and we're going to be doing double
crochets which is known as single crochet in the US so you want to skip the first chain from the
hook and we're going to be working into the second chain so you want to insert your hook yarn over
pull through and then yarn over pull through both loops on the hook and into the next space insert
yarn over pull through yarn over pull through two into the next one insert yarn over pull through
yarn over pull through two and continue that all the way down and I shall meet you at the very end
of your chain so I'm now at the end of my chain I'm just going to turn the chain on its side and
I'm just going to put one more and double into the end I'm going to yarn over and pull through
take my scissors and snip off and then pull out the yarn and then all that's left to do is sew
in the ends and then you want to take your green yarn and we're going to attach this to the back
of the Daisy so I'm just going to sew my ends and then meet you back once I'm ready to sew on okay
so I've attached my thread to the bookmark piece of my work and I'm going to put this on the puffy
side of the Daisy so I'm just going to place it on here and I'm simply going to sew it on
so just catching the thread underneath and just making it nice and secure you want to make sure
that you're not putting the thread too far around the front of the work because you don't want the
green to show through and then once it's secure you want to create your knot sew in your end snip
off your yarn and there you have your crochet Daisy bookmark I really hope you've enjoyed
