Coming back from holiday, I am getting back into the routine of everyday life; work, rest and play. To be honest getting back into it hasn’t been too bad: maybe it is because the sun is still shining, maybe it is the thought of the lovely friends I’ll be catching-up with in the coming weeks or may be it is because our next holiday doesn’t seem all that far away. I thought I’d get back into the routine of blogging crochet and share with you my pattern for lazy, daisy bunting. It is a pattern I have been working on for a long, long, long time: but I finally settled on it just in time for York’s last Yarnbomb.
I used some lovely yarn by Rico Design, called creative fliz! It is a merino yarn, really thick and chunky. Any chunky yarn will do: I was drawn to this practically yarn because of the colours…
The ball band recommends you use a 8mm hook: but I decided
to use a 4.5mm hook – so the bunting didn’t droop when it was hung out.
Here’s how to crochet the daisy…
2ch…
Working into the 2nd ch from hook…
Crochet 9tr…
ss to join…
Finish off and change colour (if you want to), *9ch…
ss into next tr*…
Repeat *-* until you have crocheted your petals…
Finish off and weave
in your ends. Crochet as many lazy daisies
as you like: then join together using a long crocheted chain, catching the
petals, with a double crochet, as you go along…
Hang, make a cup-of-tea and enjoy your lazy, daisy bunting....
