Written instructions as well as a video tutorial for the Lazy Daisy stitch.
Introduction
Is the Lazy Daisy stitch it’s official name? Probably not. I’ve only ever come across this stitch in the Vogue dictionary of crochet stitches, unfortunately, this stitch guide does not provide names for any of the patterns. The combination of stitches reminded me of a Daisy flower, thus the name was born. What does the stitch combination remind you of?
Can I crochet the Lazy Daisy Stitch?
I am confidently saying yes. This stitch uses a combination of double crochet stitches and V stitches. Which really, are 2 double crochets separated by a Ch space.
With me so far?
Let’s crochet
Materials
- yarn of your choice – I’m using Dishie from Wecrochet it’s a soft 100% cotton worsted weight yarn.
- 5mm crochet hook – Furls Odyssey – as these hooks are no longer made, I also recommend either the Dot Hooks or the Metal Streamline Hooks.
Abbreviations
- ch – chain
- sk – skip
- Fdc – foundation double crochet
- Dc – double crochet
- V-st – V stitch (work dc, ch1, dc all in the same st)
_
ch3 counts as a stitch, or you can use alternate dc as your starting dc.
