Crochet Daisy Chain



Daisy Chain Bracelet

I used 4ply cotton, 2.50mm hook and it came out as a medium size
I left a long tail at cast on, to use to sew on a fastening button.
The chain needs to be in multiples of 5 + 2 (i.e. in this case 50 +2 = 52) the extra 2 are for your first turning chain


So, here we go! I am not very experienced at writing out crochet patterns, but hope this at least gives you an idea of how it works.


  • Make a chain of 52.  Turn  and into the 3rd chain from hook (3 treble, 1dble, 3 treble, 1dble)



  • *Slip stitch along 4 chains. Into the 5th chain (1dble, 3 treble, 1dble, 3 treble, 1 dble)*.  Slip stitch along the next 4 ch.  Continue from * to * to the end.



  • In the last stitch, after you have completed (1dble, 3 treble, 1dble, 3 treble, 1 dble) continue with 3treble, 1 dble, 3 treble, 1 dble to complete the flower.  Slip stitch along the 4 chain and into the ‘hole’ made on the previous row  (1dble, 3 treble, 1dble, 3 treble, 1 dble), continue along to the end and after the last  stitch, slip stitch to the top of the 2 chain turning chain.

 
  •  Chain enough to make a loop for your button to go through (I made 7 chain, and used small buttons). If you are sewing buttons/beads etc down the centre of the bracelet, leave a tail twice the length of the bracelet when you cast off and don't cut it off.  I found it easier this way, fewer ends to sew in!
