September Daisy

September Daisy Crochet Pattern by LMC Designs

Project Overview

The September Daisy is an intermediate-level crochet design created by Lilia M. Crouch of LMC Designs for decorating table linens and towels. This downloadable PDF pattern provides instructions for creating dimensional daisy embellishments in multiple sizes that can be attached directly to fabric, making it an ideal choice for personalizing home décor textiles with handmade floral accents.

What Is Being Made

This pattern creates three variations of crocheted daisy flowers designed to be sewn or attached to fabric surfaces:

• Large Daisy: Measures 4 inches across, serving as a focal point embellishment
• Small Daisy: Measures 3 inches across, suitable for accent placement
• Half Daisy: Measures 1.5 inches across, ideal for corner details or smaller design areas

These daisies are designed specifically for table setting applications, including tablecloths, napkins, and kitchen towels, allowing crafters to create coordinated, personalized linens.

Crochet Techniques and Construction

The September Daisy employs fundamental crochet techniques suitable for intermediate crafters. The pattern begins with a foundation ring created using a chain and slip stitch, establishing the flower's center. From this ring, single crochet stitches form the base structure, while chain stitches create the petal loops that give the daisy its characteristic shape.

A key technique in this pattern involves attaching the crocheted flower directly to fabric using slip stitches, eliminating the need for separate sewing after completion. The pattern notes recommend using smaller hook sizes—specifically a size #1 (2.75mm) hook—when working with fabric to create clean, defined attachment points without damaging delicate linens.

Stitches Used

• Chain Stitch (ch): Forms the foundation ring and creates the petal loops throughout the design
• Single Crochet (sc): Constructs the flower center and provides structural support
• Slip Stitch (sl st): Joins rounds and attaches the finished daisy to fabric surfaces

Materials and Yarn Specifications

The September Daisy pattern calls for Peaches & Crème Worsted 4-ply yarn, a standard weight choice that provides excellent stitch definition for small projects. The pattern uses two colors: Dark Brown for the flower center and Cornflower for the petals, creating a classic color combination suitable for various décor styles.

Two crochet hooks are specified for this project: a size #G (5.75mm) hook for the initial daisy construction and a size #1 (2.75mm) hook for attaching the finished flowers to fabric. The smaller hook size is essential for creating precise attachment points without creating visible holes in delicate linens.

Pattern Customization Options

The pattern encourages creative experimentation by suggesting that crafters try different yarn weights and hook sizes to achieve varied visual effects. This flexibility allows makers to create daisies in different textures and dimensions while using the same basic pattern instructions, enabling personalized variations within a single project.

Marking and Placement Tips

The pattern includes practical guidance for marking fabric before attaching daisies. Crafters should use white chalk on dark fabrics and colored chalk on light-colored linens for visibility. Alternatively, a fabric invisible ink pen provides a removable marking option that won't leave permanent traces on finished projects.
