Before you begin, you will have to decide on the colors you want for your flowers. Do you want your daisies to be white? Or bright, sunny yellow? What color will the background of your daisies be? Are you going for green to resemble leaves or another color to match your décor? With those thoughts, let's get onto supplies for a daisy granny square.

• Scissors
• Yarn needle for weaving in ends.

1. Simple Daisy Granny Square Pattern

This daisy square is ideal if you are a beginner.

Round 2:

3. Remaining petals: Form a 4 dc cluster in each remaining sc stitch to form a total of 8 daisy petals. [To make these clusters: insert hook, pull through, pull through only two loops. Repeat 3 more rounds until your hook has 5 loops. Pull your yo through all five loops. ch 2]
4. When all of the petals are finished, join with a slip stitch at the top of the first ch 3 and fasten off.
