The final result is a durable and eye-catching masterpiece that highlights your personal flair and dedication to detail. Because the design is so adaptable, you can make this flower in an array of colors like deep purple, bright orange, or classic white to suit any decorative theme. Using a 3.5mm hook and 4mm acrylic yarn ensures the petals maintain their shape while remaining soft to the touch.
Materials
-
Yarn: 4 mm acrylic yarn in three colors (e.g., Purple/Berry for petals, Saffron Yellow for the center, and Thyme Green for the base).
-
Hook: 3.5 mm crochet hook.
-
Stem: A wooden sushi stick or skewer (wrapped in green yarn).
-
Fill: Amigurumi fiberfill (poly-fil).
-
Tools: Hot glue gun, scissors, and a tapestry needle.
Ultimately, this engaging activity turns simple materials into an elegant floral item that is perfect for both personal enjoyment and as a profitable item for a small business. The layered petal feature gives the bloom a rich, three-dimensional look that captures the true essence of a real Gerbera daisy.
To begin this lovely project, start by producing a magic ring and working 14 high points to form the circular center.
For the textured heart of the bloom, work a series of chain loops into the front and back loops of the center stitches, creating a layered, "fuzzy" appearance.
Next, make two identical sets of petals by forming a foundation circle and working long, pointed segments consisting of a mix of single and high points.
Finally, assemble the flower by gluing the petal layers together, attaching a green cup-shaped base to the back, and inserting a sturdy wooden stem for a professional finish.
Special Features & Key Information
-
Special Features: The dual-layered petals and two-tier textured center give the flower a 3D, high-quality look that mimics nature.
-
Level of Difficulty: Intermediate. While the stitches are basic, the assembly requires precision with hot glue and working into specific loops (front/back).
-
Uses: Perfect for bouquets, home decor, Mother's Day gifts, or craft fair inventory.
-
Tutor’s Suggestions:
-
Use a sushi stick instead of a thin skewer for a more "heavy-duty" and durable stem.
-
Flatten the petals with your hands after crocheting to ensure they lay correctly before gluing.
-
Pro-Tip
To make the petals extra firm and prevent them from drooping over time, you can apply a light mist of fabric stiffener or a water-and-glue mixture to the back of the petals once the flower is fully assembled.
