- Round 1: Work 7 sc into the ring. Pull tail to close the ring. (7 sts)
- Round 2: Work 2 sc (increase) in each stitch around. (14 sts)

2. Joining the Flower Centers & Forming Daisy Petals
Switch to white yarn for petals:
- Place your two yellow circles together, wrong sides facing each other.
- With white yarn, slip knot on hook.
- Attach petals:
- Insert hook through matching stitches on both circles.
- Slip stitch to join.
- Petal sequence (in the same stitch on both circles):
- Ch 3.
- Dc in the same stitch.
- Tr in the same stitch.
- Dc in the same stitch.
- Ch 3.
- Slip stitch back into the same stitch.
- Slip stitch into the next pair of stitches and repeat the petal sequence above.
- Continue this sequence around for a total of 7 petals, but before closing up entirely:
- Lightly stuff the flower with dacron/fiberfill to give a puffy effect.
- Complete final petal and join with a slip stitch.
- Fasten off and weave in any loose ends.
Tip: Ensure petals are equally spaced and front-facing for the best appearance.
3. Making the Leaf Motif
With green yarn:
Leaf 1 (wider, rounded leaf)
- Start with a magic ring.
- Ch 3 (counts as first dc).
- Work 5 tr into ring.
- Work 3 dc into ring.
- Ch 1.

Leaf 2 (narrower, string-attached leaf)
- Make a slip knot, then chain 19.
- Starting in the 2nd ch from hook:
- Sc in next ch,
- Hdc in next ch,
- Dc in next 5 ch,
- Hdc in next ch,
- Sc in next ch,
- Repeat: [Sc, hdc, 5 dc, hdc, sc] working along the other side of the chain.
- Slip stitch to the first stitch of the round to finish the leaf.
- Fasten off, leave a long tail for sewing.
4. Making the Hanging String
Still with green yarn:
- Chain 120 (or desired length for your bag charm loop).
- Fasten off, leaving a tail.
5. Finishing and Assembly
- Use the tapestry needle to tidy up all ends on the flower and leaves.
- Thread the green chain (string) behind a petal or between sc stitches at top of the flower. Use the needle to weave in and out neatly for both stability and beauty.
- Attach the leaves:
- Sew one leaf on each end of the hanging string, or
- Attach the wider leaf directly to the bottom/side of the daisy for balance.
- If desired, reinforce the string's attachment by stitching it directly through the flower center or through a petal base.
- Double-check all parts are firmly attached and tidy.
- Your daisy bag charm is ready to use!
Pattern Suggestions & Tips
- Color Variations: Customize your charm with different center/petal colors, or make several for a bouquet look.
- Petal Crispness: Block the petals if they curl, or lightly starch for firm petals.
- Firmness: Stuff only lightly so the flower remains puffy but not overstuffed.
- Personalization: Add a bead or fancy button to the flower center, or embroider a smiley face for extra cuteness.
- Hanging Options: Adjust the chain length for keychain, bag charm, or even a rear-view mirror decoration.
- Yarn Type: Cotton or acrylic both work; cotton will provide crisper stitch definition.
