  • Why, oh why?

    Why, oh why can't I crochet? I would so love to make this:



    Directions can be found here: Crocheted Daisy instructions.

    I can only do basic crocheting. Nothing like that though. It is certainly beautiful. Perhaps you can find someone to give you lessons.

      that is the easiest pattern in crochet world.... those are called granny squares

      it is mostly double crochets ..only the white row has a different stitch..

      going to copy the directions and see if I am right. sure is pretty.
      Take it one Day , one step, at a time.. cause that's all we really have.

          Pat, can you crochet just a little, like chain stitch?

          Google left hand crochet and you will find a lot of video tutorials.

              Maye, I think the white row is the same stitch as the granny square. It frames the square. Then, when you sew (or crochet ?) the squares together with with the white yarn, it takes on a slightly different look.

                Aunt Maye, I think the row you are talking about is just a cluster stitch made with double crochets.

                    This is beautiful........it is a granny square w/ a daizy flower on top. It's much prettier than the regular granny square. After just reading the directions, it sounds pretty easy. I'm gonna try it. I wrote down the instructions.

                        Spring, after reading the directions I decided I would need help to start it...once I get going on a granny square pattern I can get it done.
                        pat, I got some old yarn out to learn this. I want to make it for my grandddaughter, Rylie for her birthday on June 4th!
                        There! I committed to it!
                        I looked at the site and she wants 50.00 to buy it!

                            I got some yarn leftovers and am learning before I start the real afghan.
                            Pat, give yourself a chance to learn it...then do it.
                            Anybody at work who can help you?

                              Spring...I went & looked at it again & I don't see how the daisy would be on top. I would LOVE to learn how to do this & I'm hoping Aunt Janet will teach me when I'm Home the next time. I didn't see the pretty one pictured above on her site but rather a pink & white one.
