Materials Needed
Lightweight cotton-acrylic yarn in yellow (for the center) and white (for the petals)
A small crochet hook, around 1.75mm–2mm – this yarn weight likes a snug hook for neat, tight stitches
A yarn needle, for weaving in ends
Scissors
A keychain ring or clasp
Optional: a little stuffing, if you’d like a slightly puffed, dimensional center rather than a flat one
Abbreviations
MR = Magic ring
sc = Single crochet
inc = Increase (2 sc in the same stitch)
ch = Chain
sl st = Slip stitch
st(s) = Stitch(es)
Part 1: The Center (Yellow)
Rnd 1: Magic ring, 6 sc into the ring. (6 sts)
Rnd 2: inc in every stitch around. (12 sts)
Rnd 3: (sc 1, inc) – repeat around. (18 sts)
Slip stitch into the first stitch to close the round, then fasten off, leaving a short tail to weave in. This gives you a neat, flat yellow circle to build your petals around.
Part 2: The Petals (White)
The petals are worked directly onto the edge of your yellow center, one at a time, rather than as separate pieces. Plan for 6 to 8 petals evenly spaced around the circle – 6 gives a slightly fuller, rounder daisy, while 8 gives a more delicate, layered look.
For each petal:
Join white yarn with a stitch at the edge of your yellow center.
Chain 8.
Working back along the chain, single crochet into each of the next 8 chains, working into the back ridge of the chain if you can, this gives your petal a smoother, neater edge, though working into the chain normally is perfectly fine too.
In the very last chain (the tip of the petal), work one extra single crochet to gently round off the tip.
Continue back along the opposite side of the same chain, single crochet in each stitch, until you have about 2–3 stitches left before you reach the base.
For these last few stitches near the base, work 2 single crochets into each of the next couple of stitches to fill out and round the base of the petal smoothly into the center.
Slip stitch into the base of the petal, right at the edge of the yellow center, to secure it.
Move your hook to the next stitch along the center’s edge and repeat from step 2 for your next petal.
Continue all the way around your yellow center until you have 6–8 evenly spaced petals framing it like a real daisy. Fasten off after your last petal and weave in the end.
Making It Double-Sided (Optional, but Recommended)
A single layer daisy is lovely and lightweight, but making it two-sided gives it a fuller, more finished look and makes it sturdier as a keychain.
To do this, make a second daisy exactly the same way. On this second one, don’t cut your yarn after the last petal – instead, chain 35–40 stitches (this becomes your keychain loop; make it longer if you’d like extra length), then slip stitch back into the base to secure the chain into a loop.
Lay your two daisies back to back, petals facing outward on both sides, and stitch around the edge to join them into one thicker, two-sided flower with your chain loop already built in at the top.
Attaching the Keychain (Single-Layer Version)
If you’re keeping your daisy as a single layer, simply crochet a short chain loop at the back center, or attach a small metal jump ring, and clip on your keychain hardware from there.
Tips for Best Results
Keep your tension a little snug rather than loose, this yarn weight holds its shape much better with tighter stitches, especially for the center.
If your petals come out slightly uneven in size, don’t worry, a little natural variation is part of the charm of a handmade daisy.
Weave in your ends as you finish each color section rather than leaving them all for the end; it’s much easier to keep track of them this way.
If you want a slightly plumper center, tuck a small pinch of stuffing in before closing round 3, just enough to round it out gently, not overstuffed.
Conclusion
This little Crochet Daisy Flower Keychain Amigurumi is one of those projects that feels almost too simple for how charming the result is. Once you’ve made your first one, the petals go quickly, and you’ll likely find yourself making a few more, in different colors, for different friends, or just because a daisy always makes a good gift.
If you make one, I’d love to hear how it turned out – happy stitching!
