Material and Tools:
- Iris Crochet thread by Gamma in Yellow and Green (for the pictured sample, Green ombre has been used as additional color for arms and legs) + colors of choice for the petals. It doesn’t matter which ones – anything at hand. Working all petals in White makes a pretty daisy.
- Black sewing thread or embroidery floss for embroidering the eyebrows.
- Crochet hook 1 mm [US steel hook 12].
- Glass toy eyes, diameter 4.5 mm [0.2 in] (in the pictured sample, glue-on plastic eyes have been used).
- Wire, thickness 0.3 – 0.5 mm.
- Stuffing (polyester fiberfil).
- Scissors and sewing needle.
- Rip-resistant thread for cinching. (I used sturdy sewing thread held double.)
- For blushing – watercolors or dry pastel chalk.
- Glue for attaching eyes (optional).
- Adhesive bandage or electrical tape.
Abbreviations:
- AMR – adjustable magic ring
- ch – chain
- dec – decrease PLEASE NOTE! When working with embroidery floss, make the decrease by skipping 1 st instead of crocheting 2 together, since this is much easier
- inc – increase (2 sc worked into the same stitch = with a shared base and separate tops)
- sc – single crochet (US) = double crochet (UK)
- sl-st – slip stitch
The whole toy is worked in spiral rounds; numbers in parenthesis (xx) at the end of the round show the total stitch count after completion of this round.
Head, in Yellow, worked with inside facing out:
1. 6 sc into an AMR.

Work petals directly onto the stitches of Round 10 of the head:
Begin with ch6, then, beginning into the 2nd stitch from the hook, work 5 sc down along the chain, then 1 sc into the stitch at the head located next to the first stitch.
Now, turn work, and continue as follows on the other side: 4 sc up the chain, then 3 sc into the same stitch, then 5 sc to the end, in the direction towards the begin of the petal, and join with 1 sl-st into the stitch at the head located next to the first stitch.
See more about this method in the video here. Place petals 1 stitch apart from each other, i.e. when beginning the next petal, count off 2 sts from the end of the previous petal, and work the chain into the 3rd stitch. You should have a total of 12 petals.

Body, in Green, worked from the top down; do not cinch the Adjustable Magic Ring too much. Keep the beginning tail long enough, to be later used for sewing head and body together.
1. 6 sc into an AMR
2. (2 inc, sc) 2 times (10)
3. (4 sc, inc) 2 times (12)
4. 12 sc
5. (3 sc, inc) 3 times (15)
6. 15 sc
7. (4 sc, inc) 3 times (18)
8. (2 sc, inc) 6 times (24)
9. 24 sc
Now, the body can be sewn onto the head. Stick the protruding wire through the center of the Magic Ring, and sew the head onto the body over several stitches.
Bend the end of the wire onto itself.
2. (2 inc, sc) 2 times (10)
3. (4 sc, inc) 2 times (12)
4. 12 sc
5. (3 sc, inc) 3 times (15)
6. 15 sc

9. 24 sc
Now, the body can be sewn onto the head. Stick the protruding wire through the center of the Magic Ring, and sew the head onto the body over several stitches.
Bend the end of the wire onto itself.
Legs, in Green, make 2:
1. 6 sc into an AMR
2. (1 sc, inc) 3 times (9)
3. 9 sc
4. 8 sc, inc (10)
5. – 8. (4 rounds) 10 sc
9. (4 sc, inc) 2 times (12)
10 – 12. (3 rounds) 12 sc
13. (3 sc, inc) 3 times (15)
14. 15 sc
15. (3 sc, 1 dec) 3 times (12)
At this point, insert wire into the leg; I have not stuffed the legs, but if you want, you can add just a little bit of fiberfil.
Work 6 decreases, and crochet the opening closed.
The crocheted leg is longer than the final length – it will be bent into an S-shape.
2. (1 sc, inc) 3 times (9)
3. 9 sc
4. 8 sc, inc (10)
5. – 8. (4 rounds) 10 sc

15. (3 sc, 1 dec) 3 times (12)
At this point, insert wire into the leg; I have not stuffed the legs, but if you want, you can add just a little bit of fiberfil.
Work 6 decreases, and crochet the opening closed.
The crocheted leg is longer than the final length – it will be bent into an S-shape.
If you want to work the leg without a wire frame and without the bending, it needs to be crocheted overall shorter, using the following instructions:
1. 6 sc into an AMR
2. (1 sc, inc) 3 times (9)
3. 9 sc
4. 8 sc, inc (10)
