Daisy Brooch in Deramores Studio DK Acrylic

What is Being Made

This is an intermediate-level crochet brooch project designed by Helen Free. The finished piece is a decorative daisy brooch featuring multiple petals in contrasting colors, completed with a brooch back for wearing. This small accessory combines colorwork techniques with dimensional crochet shaping to create a wearable piece of handmade jewelry.

Techniques Used

The project employs fundamental crochet techniques suitable for intermediate crafters. The design incorporates color changes between yarn sections to create the visual distinction between the daisy petals and center. Tension is noted as non-critical for this project, making it forgiving for crafters still developing consistent stitch tension. The brooch construction involves securing the finished crochet piece to a brooch back using jewellery wire, combining traditional crochet with jewelry assembly methods.

Stitches Used

• Chain stitch (Ch): Used for foundation and shaping
• Double crochet (Dc): Primary stitch for fabric density
• Half treble crochet (Htr): Creates varied texture and height
• Treble crochet (Tr): Provides taller stitches for dimensional elements
• Slip stitch (Sl st): Used for joining and finishing

Materials

This project uses Deramores Studio DK acrylic yarn in three colorways: Citrine (Yarn A), Frost (Yarn B), and Rosemary (Yarn C), with 100g of each color provided. A 3mm crochet hook is required for working with DK weight yarn. Additional materials include jewellery wire for securing the brooch back, a stitch marker for tracking stitches, and a brooch back component for finishing the piece into wearable jewelry.
