This is a free pattern for a daffodil flower, designed by the author Emmi Hai.
There is always a good mood when you see flowers, no matter where they grow, in a field, in a flower bed or in a vase. When the house is full of flowers, it is always cozy and beautiful, but what to do when they wilt quickly?! For this we present this wonderful, easy to make crocheted daffodil.
You can make one for a small laconic vase, or you can create a large bouquet of several daffodils. These will look great in the hallway or in the living room. A unique handmade piece and a wonderful gift for those who want to keep the beauty of flowers at home without worrying about watering them.
For this pattern, you will need a crochet hook 2.5 mm thick, sport yarn in green, light yellow and yellow-brown colors, a thin wooden stick, a drinking straw, wire or something similar to stabilize the stem.
