- Crochet Hook: 2.5 mm or 3.0 mm hook (to keep the stitches tight and firm).
- Notions: Yarn needle, scissors, and metal alligator clips or snap clips.
- Attachment: Strong craft glue (like hot glue or E6000) and/or matching sewing thread and needle.
Abbreviations & Pattern Notes
- US Terminology
- Ch: Chain
- Sl st: Slip stitch
- Sc: Single crochet

- MR: Magic Ring
- Note: Weave in all loose ends securely before attaching the flower to the clip base to ensure a clean finish.
Step-by-Step Pattern Instructions
- Flower Center: Using your yellow yarn, start with a Magic Ring (MR). Work 6 Sc into the ring. Pull the tail tight to close the center completely. Join with a Sl st to the first Sc and fasten off yellow, leaving a short tail to weave in. (6 Sc)
- Join Petal Color: Attach your petal-color yarn to any stitch from the center round.
- Create Petals: For each petal, work the following sequence into the same stitch: (Ch 3, 2 Dc, Ch 3, Sl st). Work this exact 4-step sequence into each of the 6 stitches around the center. You will have a total of 6 finished petals.
- Fasten Off: Join with a Sl st to the base of the first petal, fasten off, and neatly weave in all remaining yarn tails on the back of the flower.
Finishing & Helpful Tips
- Block for Flatness: Gently press your finished daisies with a warm iron (if using 100% cotton) or steam them lightly so they sit completely flat.
- Secure Attachment: Apply a dab of strong craft glue to the metal clip base, press the flat back of your crochet daisy firmly onto it, and optionally secure with a few stitches using matching thread for extra durability.
- Child-Safe Check: Ensure all yarn ends are trimmed close and no sharp glue edges are exposed, making the clips safe and comfortable for everyday wear.
- Mix and Match: Create a whole bouquet of clips by experimenting with pastel pinks, sunny yellows, and bold blues to match any outfit!
