Cream Daisy Chain Wreath Free Crochet Pattern
Introduction
The Cream Daisy Chain Wreath is a sweet, cottagecore-inspired wall hanging that brings a little folk-art charm to any room. It's made for crocheters who are comfortable with basic stitches and ready to try a small, satisfying project with a bit of assembly. A flat natural-white ring is surrounded by a continuous chain of twelve five-petal daisies with pale beige centers, all joined in a circle. The finished wreath looks airy and delicate, yet the worsted cotton gives it a soft, sturdy feel that holds its shape beautifully on a door, wall, or above a mantel.
Materials Needed
- Yarn: Worsted weight (4) cotton yarn — natural white (A) 150 yards, pale beige (B) 30 yards
- Hook: 5 mm (H-8)
- Notions: Tapestry needle, scissors, stitch marker (optional)
- Finished size: Approximately 12 inches (30.5 cm) in diameter
Abbreviations
- ch — chain
- sc — single crochet
- sl st — slip stitch
- MR — magic ring (adjustable loop)
- rnd — round
- sts — stitches
- A / B — Color A (natural white) / Color B (pale beige)
Gauge
16 sc and 16 rounds = 4 inches (10 cm) in single crochet. To check, work a small swatch in sc and measure a 4-inch section; adjust your hook size if needed so the base ring comes out to about 12 inches around.
Tips Before You Start
- Keep your single crochet tension even and slightly firm so the base ring stays flat and doesn't curl.
- Work the daisy petals loosely enough that the chain loops sit open and round rather than tight and twisted.
- Before sewing, lay all twelve daisies around the ring and space them by eye — even spacing matters more than exact measurement.
- Leave a generous B tail on each daisy (about 6 inches) so you have plenty of thread for secure sewing.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Base Ring (Color A)
Setup: Ch 60, join with sl st to form a ring, being careful not to twist the chain.
Rnd 1: Ch 1, sc in each ch around, join with sl st to first sc (60 sts).
Rnd 2: Ch 1, sc in each sc around, join with sl st to first sc (60 sts).
Rnd 3: Ch 1, sc in each sc around, join with sl st to first sc (60 sts).
Fasten off.
Daisy (make 12, using Colors A and B)
Center: With A, make a magic ring and work 6 sc into it. Do not join.
Rnd 1 (petals): [Ch 3, sl st in next sc] 5 times, ch 3, sl st in first sc (5 petals).
Fasten off A.
Center disc: Join B to the center, then sl st in each of the 6 center sc around (6 sts).
Fasten off B, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Assembly
Arrange the 12 daisies evenly around the base ring with the centers facing outward. Using the B tail on each daisy, sew the daisy to the base ring at the base of the petals. Weave in ends as you go.
Edging (Color A)
Rnd 1: With A, join to any sc on the base ring, ch 1, sc in each sc around, join with sl st to first sc (60 sts).
Fasten off and weave in ends.
Assembly and Finishing
Sew each daisy firmly at the base of its petals so the flower sits flat against the ring, then weave in all remaining ends on the wrong side. Block the finished wreath lightly by misting it with water and pinning it flat into a circle on a towel or blocking mat; let it dry completely so the ring holds a clean, even shape. Add a small loop of yarn or ribbon at the top back if you'd like to hang it.
Pro Tips and Variations
- Swap the pale beige centers for soft yellow or dusty pink for a different seasonal look.
- Make a smaller version by chaining 40 instead of 60 and using 8 daisies for a mini wreath.
- Stiffen the daisies slightly with fabric stiffener or light starch so the petals stay open and crisp.
