TOP TIP
Vary your number of petals and colour according to your own preference or flower design.
You can use these for all sorts of things - hair or toy accessories, decorative sideboard pieces, or on purses or handbags. I've even popped mine over the side of my rearview mirror (ensure you don't obscure your view!)
How to Make it...
Made from a five knitted petals and a circular knitted centre. All pieces are sewn together in the middle.

Piece it Together...
Bring the cast on edges of the five petal pieces together, which will form a circular shape in the centre. Catch the ends of the cast-on rows to the next petal to complete the ring shape. Once petals are all sewn together, sew the knitted centre piece onto the front of the knitted daisy. Fasten off loose ends.
Attach a straw, hairband, or finger-knitted stem onto the back of your knitted daisy according to your design.
If used, ensure that all pins are removed when completed.
Make it Different!
Try different colour petals and centres to make a variety of flowers.
You could choose to make your petals in stocking stitch, which would make a thicker, more sturdy petal with a smoother finish. Simply double the amount of petal pieces you make (two for each finished petal), and stitching two petal pieces wrong-sides together for each petal.
You could use chunky wool to make a larger, thicker petals and centre pieces.
