Daisy

For my next trick, I decided to make a crochet daisy. This is actually a 1950s millinery pattern, but it is meant to be made in fine cotton. I had these wools at home, so just thought I’d give the pattern a go. We are having another Made Fair Market coming up at my church, and I thought perhaps I could make a few flowers for that, but the 18 petals and the time it took to make this one means it is totally unfeasible.

I keep saying it looks like a dead spider, the way it is all curled up, presumably because the white yarn is a highly twisted one. I could wet block it out easily enough, but I am actually just a little partial to the curled petals. But my question for you, dear reader, is, what would you do with it?
