Adorable Free Crochet Daisy Keychain Pattern for Gifts

The real charm of this daisy comes from its delightful combination of simple stitches and endless color potential. Stick with classic bright white and yellow, or let your creativity run wild-choose vibrant pinks, blues, or whatever shades make you happiest. Measuring about 2 inches (5 cm) across, it works just right as a keychain, a cheery bag charm, or even as a decorative accent to tie onto gifts.

What makes it both sturdy and soft is the use of cotton yarn paired with a 2.5mm crochet hook. This combination ensures your daisy holds its shape yet feels pleasant to the touch. One of the most interesting features of this pattern is the puff stitch used for the petals; by looping and gathering yarn several times in one spot, each petal puffs up, creating a look that's both playful and eye-catching.

Quick and friendly to all skill levels, this pattern offers variety for both beginners and seasoned makers. You can hook up keychains, stitch up bag accessories, or string together several blooms for a handmade flower garland.

Whether you're sharing these daisies as tokens of appreciation or collecting a garden for yourself, this pattern proves it's the smallest handmade details that bring the biggest burst of joy.

About this Pattern & Overview

You'll make two circular yellow "centers," seam them together with stuffing inside, and crochet 12 treble-petal clusters around the joined disks to form the daisy. Petals are made directly as you seam the circles, making for a neat finish and minimal sewing.

Stitches Used: Magic ring, single crochet, slip stitch, increase, triple crochet, double crochet (optional for firmer petals), chain.

The Pattern

Daisy Center:

Make 2 in yellow:

Round 1:

Make a magic ring.
Ch 1 (does not count as st).
Work 6 sc in the ring.
Pull tail to close ring.
Sl st to first sc.

You are creating a magic ring and filling it with 6 single crochets for a tight circle start.

Round 2:

Ch 1.
Work 2 sc in each st around (12 sc).
Sl st to beg sc.

This round doubles your stitch count using simple increases-this makes your center grow.

Round 3:

Ch 1.
(Sc in next st, inc in next st) around (18 sts).
Sl st to beg sc.

This round alternates single crochet and increase for smooth, even growth.

Round 4:

Ch 1.
(Sc in next 2 sts, inc in next st) around (24 sts).
Sl st, fasten off, and leave a LONG tail on one center for joining.

You now have two neat flat circles for the flower center. You can make more or fewer rounds for a bigger/smaller daisy.

For Non-Pattern Readers:
You'll make two flat yellow circles by starting in the center and increasing each round. The second center can have a long yarn tail left for sewing.

Joining Centers & Working Petals

Place two circles wrong sides together, ends tucked in.
Using tapestry needle and long tail, whip stitch through both thicknesses, working 1 stitch per pair of matching stitches.
Stop when you have only 3-4 stitches left unjoined.
Stuff lightly through the remaining gap-use fiberfill or scrap yarn.
Close remaining stitches.
Fasten yarn inside, weave in, and pull yarn tail inward.

You have a neat, stuffed little yellow "button," ready for petaling!

For Non-Pattern Readers:
Sew the two yellow circles together around the edge with a tapestry needle, stopping before closing. Stuff, then sew the gap shut.

Petals

Switch to grey or white (or color of choice):

With right side facing, insert hook through aligned edge stitches of joined center circles.
Join yarn, pull through a loop at any edge.
[Ch 3, 3 tr in next st, ch 3, sl st in next st] around entire edge (repeat 12 times, for 12 petals).
(For each petal: ch 3, then 3 triple crochets in next stitch, ch 3, and secure in next stitch with a slip stitch).
On the last petal, sl st to beg sc or ch to finish off.

Each petal uses three border stitches-chains form a stem, trebles make the petal shape, and chains close the petal into a point.

For Non-Pattern Readers:
Attach white yarn to the seam, chain up for the petal, make three tall triple crochet stitches in the next spot, then close the petal with another chain and slip stitch to the next spot. Move all the way around for 12 petals.

Adding Keyring

On the first or last petal, before the last ch-3, thread the keyring or split ring onto the hook.
Continue and pull the chain through the ring, then finish petal as usual.
Slip stitch and fasten off.
Hide ends inside the daisy.

Adding the keyring now ensures it is firmly attached within a petal loop and can't slip out.

For Non-Pattern Readers:
Slip your keyring onto your yarn before finishing one petal-this secures your keychain directly to the flower.

Assembly & Finishing

Use a tapestry needle to weave in all yarn tails, hiding them through the center of the stuffing.
Make a small knot on the last stitch if you're concerned about security before weaving in.
Fluff out the petals gently to shape.
Tug and adjust center and petals for a perfect daisy look.

Conclusion

Congratulations-your daisy crochet keychain is ready! It's ideal for gifting or personal use. This pattern teaches you magic ring starts, smooth amigurumi increasing, invisible joining, and petal shaping. You can expand your skill set by changing colors and sizing.

Pattern Corrections & Tips

Correction: If your circles seem hexagonal, that is normal and will smooth out when edges are sewn and petals are added.
Use loose tension on first two rounds for easier joining later.
If you have no keyring, substitute by chaining 10, slip stitch to form a loop, and attach as above.

Tips

Make sure your petal tension is even so all petals are similar in height and fullness.
Sew and stuff firmly for a sturdier daisy.
