SPRING DAFFODILS FREE CROCHET PATTERN

Keep the fresh Spring time feeling in the home with a beautiful, bright display of daffodils

I have used DK weight Acrylic yarn and 3mm hook to make daffodils measuring approximately 4.5″ in diameter (measuring the petals tip to tip) and 2″ deep (measuring from front of trumpet to base of petals), the stem can be any length you choose. You can change the size of your daffodils by using different yarn weights. Use a hook size a little smaller than the recommended for yarn size to keep the stitches tight, making the pieces stiffer.

As a guide, using Worsted/Aran weight yarn and a 4mm hook would make daffodils approximately 5.5″ wide by 2.5″ deep. Using Bulky/Chunky yarn and a 5mm hook would measure approximately 7″ wide by 3″ deep.

You will need

A light Yellow or Cream colour for the petals
A darker/bright Yellow or Orange colour for the corona (inner cup/trumpet part)
Green yarn for the stem
Garden wire (heavy duty)
Yarn needle & scissors

US Crochet Stitches/terms used in this pattern

(mr) Magic ring, (sc) Single crochet, (hdc) Half Double crochet, (inc) Increase – 2sc in same st, (dec) Decrease (invisible)
Invisible Join – Technique used for fastening off at the end of rounds. Cut yarn, pull end up through the middle of last stitch, use your yarn needle to thread the tail end through under the first st of round, and back through the middle of the last stitch, pull tight to touch the first and last stitch of round. Secure the end by weaving into the back of work and cut off excess.
Numbers shown in ( ) indicates the number of stitches you should have at the end of the row/round.
To help you read this pattern, the commas represent each stitch or the number of stitches after x. For example; {sc, inc,} would mean sc into next st, increase (2sc) in next st. Or {sc x3, inc,} would mean sc each into the next 3 stitches, increase in the next st. Numbers in front of stitches indicate the number of stitches worked into the same stitch, eg. 3dc would mean work dc 3 times in the same next stitch.

Stigma & stamens – Daffodils free crochet pattern

Cut a piece of your wire, a little over twice the length you want yoSpring Daffodils Free Crochet Patternur stem.
​Fold this piece in half. Cut 3 strands of your darker shade of yarn, approximately twice the length of your Corona piece. Cut a strand of your lighter shade of yarn approximately 4 times the length of the other strands. These will create your stigma and stamen details.

On each of the 3 darker strands, tie knots at both ends. Keep the knots close to the ends and trim off the excess at the tips. Take your lighter strand of yarn and tie this to the wire at the centre bend. Keep tying the ends together, creating knot over knot, until it measures the same length as the darker strands folded in half. Finish with tying a large knot with both ends together and trim off the excess.

Spring Daffodils Free Crochet Pattern

Place the 3 darker strands through the wire bend and fold in half around the wire. Pinch the wire closed at the bend to flatten and hold the strands in place, you may use pliers or use something hard to squash the wires together against a hard surface. Cut a long length of lighter yarn and wrap this around the wires just below the bend. Continue wrapping, going up 1/4 of the way up the stigma/stamen strands, and back down to the wire. Tie the end to the starting tail end to secure and trim off excess.

Feed the ends of the wire through the middle of the Corona piece and pull all the way down, so the Stigma/Stamens sit inside of the Corona piece. You can squash the wrapped yarn together more, or spread it out, to adjust how it sits inside the Corona. You want it to be about level with the front edge.

If you prefer, you can make your working loop big enough to fit your yarn ball through and fasten off the last stitch, and then just wrap the Green yarn around the wires instead.
