What You Need
- 4mm (size G or 6 US) crochet hook
- Small amount of worsted or aran weight yarn in 2 colours (see note below for using other yarn weights)
- Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
Finished flower size: 4.5 inches or 11.5 cm approx.
Crochet Flowers with Any Yarn
I used Rico Creative Cotton Aran (which crochets like light worsted for me) in shades 63 light yellow, 64 candy pink and 37 sky blue. Close substitute cottons include Paintbox Cotton Aran and Scheepjes Cahlista.
Tension is not important here, so you can use any weight yarn, with its recommended hook size or smaller. Your flower will just be slightly smaller with DK or 4ply yarn and a bit bigger with chunky or bulky yarn.
If making a coaster, I suggest using a hook a couple of sizes smaller than the size recommended on the ball band so your flower is firm and not too floppy.

Crochet Daisy Coaster & Appliqué Pattern
Crochet a cute flower in minutes with this quick & easy pattern.
Total time approx: 30 minutes
Step 1: Crochet a Circle
Use colour 1 for the centre of the flower.
Step 2: Crochet Spokes
Crochet 9 long skinny strips coming out of your circle like spokes on a bicycle wheel as follows:
Step 3: Crochet Petals
Finally, crochet around each spoke to turn it into a petal. For the first side, working up the spoke, crochet into the bottom loops left from the chains added in R4.
Step 4: Blocking (Optional)
Blocking is recommended for coasters or if you want your flower to lay flat.
Soak your flower briefly, squeeze out the excess water and spread it out on a baking cooling rack or similar so air can flow underneath. Check the petals all have a nice shape and leave it to dry overnight.
