St David’s Day Daffodil

Hello, my good intentions to keep up with the blogging have fallen a bit by the wayside but a request for a pattern that I’ve written up inspired this post.

Daffodil pattern

You will need:

Small amounts of yellow, orange and cream DK yarn

3mm hook

Darning needle

Start with a Magic Ring (or your preferred method) Dc 6 into MR (6)

2 dc into each stitch (12)

1dc,dc increase 6 times (18)

1dc in the back loop only of each stitch (18)

1 dc in each stitch(18)

1dc 3 chain in each stitch a.l round. FO.

Reattach yarn to any of the front loops to work the petals. Petals worked over three stitches.

In first loop work [1dc, 1 HTr, 1 Tr] in next loop work [1 double Tr, 1 Treble Tr, 2 chain picot, 1double Tr] . In 3rd loop work [ 1 Tr, 1 halfTr, 1dc]

This completes the first petal. Work 5 more petals .FO and work in ends.

For a bigger flower work another increase row into your front loops ( 2 dc, 1 dc inc) this will give you 24 st. Work the petals with a slip st between each one.

I hope you enjoy this pattern. You can vary your daffodils by using different colours for cup and petals.
