-
Hook: No. 3 or 3.5 mm crochet hook [00:12].

Technique: Triple your yarn by folding it into an “S” shape and pulling through the loops as you go to maintain three strands from a single ball [00:32].
Pattern: The Daisy Square
1. Center (Pink)
-
Start: Create a magic ring [01:02].
-
Round 1: Work 8 single crochets (sc) into the ring. Pull tight and join with a slip stitch. Fasten off [01:43].
2. Petals (White)
-
Setup: Attach white yarn (triple strand) to any stitch [03:01].
-
Petal Stitch: Work a 3-double crochet cluster (pull through only 2 loops for each of the 3 dc, then pull through all 4 loops on hook) [03:16].
-
Sequence: * 1 cluster, 2 chains (for sides).
-
1 cluster, 3 chains (for corners).
-
-
Round Finish: Repeat to create 8 petals total, alternating between 2-chain and 3-chain spaces to begin shaping a square. Join and fasten off [05:42].
3. Square Border (Yellow)
-
Corners: In the 3-chain spaces, work a “shell” (3 dc, 1 chain, 3 dc) [06:40].
-
Sides: In the 2-chain spaces, work 3 dc [07:32].
-
Completion: Work around until you have a complete square with 4 distinct corners. Join and fasten off [08:22].
Assembly and Finishing
1. Joining the Squares
-
Quantity: You will need 25 squares total for this cropped top [08:40].
-
Layout: Arrange them in two rows (e.g., 10 on top, 10 on bottom, with the remainder for the back/sides) [08:46].
-
Sewing: Use a tapestry needle and yellow yarn. Align the squares and sew through both loops of the corresponding stitches on each edge [09:44]. To avoid holes at the corners, cross the yarn in an “X” shape through the corner chains [12:10].
2. Border and Straps (Pink)
-
Top/Bottom Edge: Attach pink yarn and work one round of sc around the entire top and bottom edges of the assembled top [14:13].
-
Straps:
-
Find the position for the straps (centered over the squares).
-
Work 4 sc into the top edge to start the strap [16:40].
-
Work back and forth in rows of 4 sc until the strap is roughly 42 rows long (or your desired length) [17:44].
-
Secure the other end to the back of the top using sc or a tapestry needle [17:51].
-
Conclusion
The Daisy Square Cropped Top is a charming and customizable project that brings a retro, floral vibe to your wardrobe. By mastering the square and the assembly technique, you can easily adapt this pattern into bags, blankets, or even full-sized sweaters.
Pro Tip:
When working with triple strands, keep your tension consistent to ensure all three threads are pulled through each stitch evenly. This prevents snagging and keeps the petals looking uniform! [04:02]
